Bright Bling Red PC60 Plus

[Phil Stanbridge]

Just thought I'd share a few piccies of my latest and greatest - its a highly polished red PC60 Plus, with modification to allow the PA160 to fit. It's actually running surprisingly well considering it's using a single C-Systems mag pump, but more on that later. Sorry the photos arent up to the usual standards but I'm struggling with my camera. It's not finished either, and I want some advice on grills!

Specs:

4800 X2 @ 2.52ghz (210FSB, 32 degrees idle, 7v)

Asus A8N SLI Premium (1009 bios)

MSI 7800GTX @ stock (35 degrees idle)

2GB Ballistix Tracer (faulty!)

250GB SATA II Maxtor (Zalman HD caddy, silenced)

Plextor PX716A

X-Fi sound card

PC60 Plus, red, polished, custom window, smoked perspex

Storm G4

NV78

C-Systems Mag pump

PA160

TubeRes

Vantec Strealth 120mm @ 7v

It's not quite finished as you can see, I need to add some grills to the top panel - I may stick a 120mm fan in there too in order to add some extra airflow. But what grills should I use?

Don't let it fall off! :O

Yeah I agree. :B

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

Okay I can use my EP-UK grills, over the top or underneath??

 

[mightynimrod]

Underneath phil, deffo

 

[GoLLuM4444]

Underneath phil, deffo

Yeah underneath if the holes are tidy.

 

[Psykotik]

if the holes are tidy.

This IS Phil we're talking about, of course it's tidy

 

[mightynimrod]

This IS Phil we're talking about, of course it's tidy

Was just about to say that too.

He's obsessive about neatness in a way i think it might be an illness LOL

I agree use the epuk grills and place them underneath! They look sweet

[Phil Stanbridge]

okay watch this space. EP-UK grills here we come.

 

[Geomon]

Would look better with a fillport me tinks.

Is it for yourself or a customer?

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

Its my works pc - and demo rig. I prefer the res option all the time, its so easy to fill/bleed the system and in this particular system the res is tucked nicely out of the way. I'm very pleased with the overall system now.

 

[williamc303]

nice 1 phil! keep up the great work buddy.

is this the same red as phil's pc70 or is it brighter?

 

[Master_G]

Nice setup as always phil, nice deep ferrari type red, i really like it.

I think it's lighter than the PC70, that was more cherry than red.

Your EP-UK grills look sweet phil, make it distinctive and better looking with the tidy holes, underneath is definately better IMO.

Have you change your sig once you finish it

Is there anyway you can spray your epuk grills black? If you can I'd go with a couple of black ep-uk grills underneath.

I totally agree - fill-ports are a good idea, but nowhere near as practical as the trusty reservoir.

A gem as always Phil.

Phil, why have you done 2x120mm fan holes on the roof if you have a PA160 in the front?

Just 2x exhaust fans?

 

[nick25]

I'm not sure but I think Phil may have been planning on using a thermo he/pa120 series rad but realised it was too tight a fit, especially where the psu is concerned.

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

yep thats right, unfortunately the PA120.2 is slightly larger than the HE and I couldnt get it to fit comfortably without the PSU sticking out at the back. I can still make use of the blowholes however for fans or something, but at the moment its just not necessary.

iv got that problem with the he and my pcp 510, odd i thought it would have fit
