My P182 with a twist

[Marcus]

Couriers destroyed a P182 of ours a while back and so I was left with a spare chassis.

The side panels were scratched to hell and the front panel was smashed to pieces.

So I set about trying to bring it back into a work-able condition....

Had to make a new roof, side and front panel (I used acrylic) although the front isn't done just yet.

Fans mounted in the roof, shrowds on top of the roof

Water Cooling all installed

Side Panel installed:

For anyone wondering what it looks like under UV (even thought I won't be doing), here it is with some 12" UV cathodes in:

Can't argue with my temperatures at the moment, see screeny!!

Got my Q6600 idling in the 20's and stays in the 30's under load.

Probably won't stay in this case very long, most likely end up in a bigger one and then I can go back to having pipe dreams about quad loops.

Interesting result mate. I quite like the blue perspex/white case combo

That's nice

Like how the rad is lifted by the fan covers

I saw that the other day somewhere. god knows where. It looks amazing yet amazingly strange at the same time.

That blue next to the white is amazing. Looks so good next to each other.

Cant wait to see it when the front is completed. mind you..i quite like the unfinished look.

WOOOOOO - UPGRADE TIME!!!

I dropped a Q6600 in last week but apart from that it hasn't seen any new hardware for months n months.

Few changes... new case (eventually), a Lian Li G70.

Dunno what i'm doing to it, I considered nickel plating but it was gonna cost £350+ so i'm kinda leaning more towards a pearl or flip paint job!

How it stands atm.. a little beaten and bruised but should look sweet with some TLC.

My Q6600 G0 stepping, lets see what she can do on the new board!

I decided to make the move over to DDR3 so ended up with an Asus P5K3 Deluxe:

Some sexeeeeeee macro shots for you photography freaks! :wink:

P5K3 = DDR3 RAM of course 8)

EK 8800GTS block with black coolant in... no GFX upgrade yet!

Also got a 850W Coolermaster PSU but no photos yet...

Massive thanks to Jimbo for sortin me out!

[inonefly]

[NickS]

Wow looks great! I can't wait to see this done

 

[Kerotan]

Looks great! Should be decent when it's all finished- that board is sweet, wish I could afford stuff like that lol

 

[PCFlip]

Knowing Marcus, im assuming the case is powdercaoted.
