power supply cover

[rmorse27]

I recently saw someone that had a power supply cover in there rig,so I decided to make one from my sabertooth mobo box and it came out sweet.

Nice

This is really necessary... I just have a acrylic plate covering the whole PSU area but this is a great idea... Please don't get it trademarked so I can steal this idea

 

[ruthless_villain]

nice job, looks really neat but sort out the sata cables and it will look even better imo

wow that case is HUUGGGEEE, i could easily fit a cat or two in there

Dear god that watercooling looks terrible!

 

[jimbojames]

Amazing case!

I'm not on to watercooling my self yet but are those GPU blocks set up correctly? To me it looks like the lower GPU could end up with way less water flow? As I say, I haven't done a WC rig yet but wouldn't water take the most direct route e.g. straight out of block 1 and not in to 2?

I'm probably wrong

Looks good man

Could lose a fair few inches of hose to make it look better and appease Tom's anal watercooling lol

p.s anal as in fussy not chocolate starfish

Brilliant invention Enstein !

I love how those swiftech blocks look !

Just one suggestion, link the tube from the cpu to the video card, why so many tubes???

 

[rmorse27]

I run 2 loops in my system that's why so many tubes,I cant really do anything with the sata cables without putting a tight bend in them.I tried right angle sata cables,but the sata ports on board are set to far back to be able to plug in.Swiftech suggest if using more than 1 gpu block to use parallel config instead of serial config that's why I have the flow set up that way,you wouldn't think it would work but it does.If I was gonna link the cpu to the video card I wouldn't go directly from cpu to video cards anyway,I would go to my 240 rad in front of case then back to my cards and back to res,so I would end up using same amount of tubes anyway.I don't believe in dumping warm fluid directly into cards from cpu, that's why I have the dual loops.Oh ya how not hear to appease Tom,only so much you can do with tubing.

I think to tidy it up and get rid of the emptyness of the whole case at the same time it would be cool to add a massive tube reservoir where the EBB holes are and having a real pump in the bottom and making it a single loop config also you may already know this but running directly from CPU to GPU will NOT make any difference in the temperature of the loop I can swear to you that. however I'm not 100% but putting them all in the same loop might add a few degree's to your case but really not much.

Something like this would be the reservoir I'm talking about http://www.ekwaterbl...ervoir-250.html

Then having a powerful pump on the floor of the case below that res.

And if you do decide to redo the tubing maybe get some clearer tubing or something if you go clear or with that res I'd get some Mayhems supernova clear to show off the liquid inside the res

Other than that looking great and that psu cover is pretty cool, I should make one of those I have a non modular psu lol

Just so you know parralel loops are not always recommended as the water does not move around very much compared to series.

I have drawn up a rough idea of how your loop should/could look. Literally 2 minutes on ms paint



Here is a link regarding the differences between series and parrallel loops for gpus too

Props on the psu cover.

 

[dipzy]

That PSU cover is simple yet does the job very nicely indeed

 

[SmoulderingCircuits]

Cardboard looks out of place IMO. Get a cheap Chinese ATX unit, yank the cover off, cut to size then spray it black. £10~£15 & much better.

well that layout would be cool but he has a front rad aswell and the GPU's didn't make much sense

 

[rmorse27]

I am just going by what swiftech recommends with the parallel set up.

 

[rmorse27]

That one guy in the video talking about parallel set up doesnt even have it hooked up correctly,the in & out need to be on same card.

I think they are on the same card
