[K404]

There`ll be more to come soon-ish..Waiting on a mate to let me have a loan of his drill..then the fun REALLY starts Feel free to guess what i`m up to!

Kenny

P.S>.. I apologise for the shocking carpet... its out of my hands

 

[Mr Dizzy]

R u putting up some new shelves or something ?

 

[K404]

Err...its computer related! LOL LOL

 

[unreal]

I'll hazard a guess its a huge 3 tiered 'workstation' type device for easy component exchange!

I'll hazard a guess its a huge 3 tiered 'workstation' type device for easy component exchange!

That would be my guess as well.

 

[Drazic]

A cheap english/chinesse dish arrangement?

 

[K404]

Heres the update:



The main section... lining up the mounting bars



Testing the placement



Bolt-holes..all part of the cunning plan!



A larger drill-bit was used on the back to allow the bolt heads to fit flush

More to come. I reckon I didnt take enough pics..got carried away with the enthusiasm 8)

 

[K404]

Setting up section 2. This stuff had to arranged again and again, then once ore for luck to get all the cables to reach where they`re needed AND allow access to CD bays, fan intake path, PSU switches etc

Errr...I think i`ve ran out of pics. DOH! I dont seem to have any pics of the "clever" bit. Fool. Back with more later...section 3 will appear

Hard times eh? Hey just kidding. Nice mod, it will be interesting to see the finished product.

Looking good M8, is it a two compartment case for each item I.E M/B on one and PSU/Hard Drives/ roms on second with separate cooling for each so there is less heat build up in the M/B case and using wood means no condensation problems.

 

[K404]

There`ll be better pics tomorrow when theres better light, but basically i`m splitting my computer up into bits as Sacha said. All the stuff that generally stays the same is on one board (its heavy!!) and the fancy bit on the other (mobo et al)

I`ve already noticed a drop in my GPU temp at idle, which is a good sign, and due to the way the mobo is being set up (will be apparent tomorrow) its easy to switch cooling and/or insulate for it.

Also pretty easy to move if I can find some cheap handles, i`ll be adding them. Homebase was extortion.

Now all you need is your phase or water chiller setup

 

[K404]

AND....heres the latest lot



The "clever" bit... the holes in the rod above had M4 bolts pushed/screwed through, which were in then bolted to the 1st layer of risers. I need the extra clearance

2/3 of the board:



The middle row is missing because I didnt quite get all the alignments right. The middle one fixes to the mobo so that when the mobo is placed, theres support for the middle of it

I`ve gone from not having any pictures to..err...losing some! GRRRR

More to come!!

 

[K404]

MORE! Heres the mysterious section 3











And...a quick look at the pump setup:



Maybe if my flatmate cleans up some of his mess, I can find the space to put all this together!

Err... will try and get some pics of the whole section, and that may or may not be a beer keg and a traffic cone in the background

 

[Drazic]

Your not cooling it with beer are you?? Oh and the traffic cone there to warn you of the uber fast pc in use?

 

[sacha35]

Looking good mate cant wait to see it all finnised.

 

[Master_G]

The beer keg and the traffic cone: vital accessories in any flat

Nice work Kenny, i look forward to seeing the finished product.

[K404]

The latest lot: a few changes and probs about as close to "finished" as it`ll get.

 

[bazx]

hehe k i thought the kegs were part of the wc set up

 

[sacha35]

M8 Looking good but i think you would be better putting in a water res in the loop from the card block that you will chill, as this will keep the water chilled for much longer, keep up the good work as it starting to come together.
