My Mozart Watercooled

[cuprasport]

i water cooled my mozart even tho it still isnt finished here it is so far

the cooling potential for this case is amazing even though thermaltake are not known for the best cases ever this case is only 36cm from front to back and with it having the ability for 5 front and 5 rear 120mm fans there should be good airflow

thats the inside of the narrow side

that is the backplate off the mobo tray doesnt come off but with the back off its alot roomier to get in there

Not the best pic in the world but you can see the mobo tray and the fans on this side

ok im watercooling my system in this case so here is a log of whats happening

Oooer! I wanted one of them cases, but the wifey said nono

 

[Toxcity]

That is stunning!

I want one of those.. how much did it cost ya?

 

[AmBush]

OMG i've seen kitchens with less storage space then that, It's HUGE

Where's the sandwich tray ?

Can't wait too see more pics of this one.

ok ive moved all the thermaltake fans to the front (5 came witht he case)

this is so i can have all my yate loons at the back

also rinsed my new res out as it had perspex bits in it (used feser 1 for a colour test to rinse it its now fitted

the length of the wires from the front panel means stealth routing them should be easy

case was £140 alot cheaper than a tj07 or mm ufo (ugly things anyway)

ok starting to braid my yate loons to tidy it up a bit

taped up my barbs fitted them in my rad finger tight plus 1/2 a turn

fitted the fans to my rad al braided up

 

[cuprasport]

ok the rad wont be a straight forward fit so some holes need drilling in the case the quickest way for me to do this was get the cardboard from the rad box and pin put some holes in and tape it on so here goes

i phoned my wife an hour before she got home to say the living room was in a little bit of a mess but id clean it up abit before she got home.... she walked in from work to meet this

ok the holes are driled and the rad is in also the yate loons are all in

ok the pump is now fitted i drilled 2 holes to fit it above the hdd bays to keep the piping short

 

[Raging]

and i thought i was pretty messy

loocking good chap

 

[equk]

hmm those cases are way too big

could fit at least 5 pc's inside of that thing.

size isn't everything tbh

compared to other stock fans and even 3rd party TT fans are actually quite good, they provide a decent air flow to noise ratio.

i have my pc downstairs as i have a WIFE and we have us time in the bedroom..

thats the hdd's in backwards

water blocks are on

and board is in the case

sorry about bad pics

ok all the pipes are cut and run my loops direction is

pump > cpu > nb > rad > res back to pump

 

[FarFarAway]

I find it a little odd that the pump is at the top of your loop. It would make far more sense for it to be at the bottom of the loop surely?

Agreed. Pumps are designed to pump (push water) - not suck. You'll be seeing the effects of -ve head pressure with your loop like that. Bearing in mind that wcing pumps are not pumps in the truest sense of the word...except if you were say running an Iwaki for example.

ok all the pipes are cut and run my loops direction is

pump > cpu > nb > rad > res back to pump

You're not going to be getting optimal performance from running your loop like that either. Your res should be before the pump to ensure that it has an unhindered flow of fluid...especially when priming the pump. I'd be running it this way:

res>pump>rad>CPU>NB>res

That way your CPU is getting the coolest fluid possible.

Love the dtek fusion block, kemp and PV are right thou, pump at the bottom. You want it at the lowest you can get it, where gravity does not play an issue for water to get to the pump.

 

[cuprasport]

this will have 3 pumps in when its finished so im limited with space for them

motherboard is out the system is filled and is running a 24 hour leak test

also my 4 uv cathodes are in but not wired up as i will do all the cables when the leaktest is finished.. i can now see a working pc coming from this.. about time

you will notice a plastic clip halfway along the pipe from the cpu > the nb blocks.. this is becuase i didnt want huge pipes so adding this to the centre of the bend stopped the pipe from kinking

with such a big case you might find this of interest http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=11073

Hope leektest goes well

 

[cuprasport]

ok a few dark pics.... i still need to change all my fans to uv led fans but heres a look anyway

this is without flash on to cancel out uv

this is no flash so the uv is see able

 

[cuprasport]

system is useable now not finished but here is the pics so far..

mobo is in and all wired up

 

[cuprasport]

a perfect height for my desk.. got loads to do still but atleast i can use it in the mean time
