Project: Bruiser. Dual (possibly triple) loop TJ07

[retrogamer1990]

time for an update!

and its a good one, I promise

I FINALLY have my PC back! I filled her up this weekend. still not finished though - its a little rushed becuase its half term (i.e a week off school) and I just had to have my pc for a week with no school or I would go INSANE.

so here is why it is a litle rushed in more detail:

After a long time figuring out where everything goes & connecting it up, I filled one loop. for 30 seconds. drip, drip drip.

turns out I forgot to put the O-ring back when I replaced the pump top (yes, I am an idiot). Anyway, sorted that after 2 hours cleaning and starting again. filled loop 1! (the GPU loop) yay!

started filling the second loop with deep purple...ahem...BLACK feser one.

filled it full, bled it, thought I'd leak test it for a while, and bam! 3 leaks.

all to do with F***ing O-rings. turns out whoever sent me my G3/8" to G1/4" reducers sent me the wrong size fupping o-rings. AND a barb on the res had a bust O-ring. FFS!

4 more hours later, much lost fluid, I finally have a working system with no leaks!

I will shut the hell up now so you can see the pics:

before filling commenced:

okay so i forgot to get a hard drive to 5.25 bay thing so i improvised.

1 piece of packing foam and 4 long ass screws later (innuendo!)...voila! one ghetto hard drive mount!

I love the sleeve...

new keyboard!

full on shots...I havent finished, so dont give me **** about the cable tidying or the unsleeved wires, i'll finish that later.

oh and BTW need advice.

smoked window acrylic, or no smoked window acrylic? comparison shots:



smoked

unsmoked

thats all for now folks! stay tuned for acrylic goodness in the near future, and much more besides!

[retrogamer1990]

almost forgot,

to do, in order of urgency:

1. SHUT THE F****ING PUMPS UP! so much vibration!

2.Buy Scythe Himuro

3.Paint DVD drive casing

4.do some funky stuff with acrylic (secret )

5.sleeve rest of wires

6. get some custom stuff made

however, in march, its unlikely much major will get done, since i must buy a netbook = no cash. and in april, well, i'm going to china for 10 days (no, really, I am!)

Very nice build mate, well coloured.

+1 on smoked, makes it a bit more subtle.

 

[Hatman]

Love the colour. Well I think its like the shade of the colour with teh Uvs (it looks like). Nice stuff!

Yeah, ghetto sometimes works better than manufactured things. In fact I have had my harddrive on cleaning sponges for about two months when I had a dead silent (and crappy) rig.

mini-contest!

design me a front panel! winner gets recognition on the front page of the project on every forum this is posted on & anywhere else this log gets (PLEASE custompc!)

rules:

1."project bruiser" must be on it, any font you think looks good.

2. blue acrylic will be behind it, so make the background blue.

heres my attempt. you can see why i want some added creativity from you guys!

thanks, & get photoshopping!

 

[retrogamer1990]

Micro-Update.

Got a little more coolant and some white Cathodes.

Result, as far as I can tell, is EPIC!

tried to take photos in the day & with the light on, but the colours looked wrong...

still, if you want some with light, ask!

Oh, and BTW, You might spot some dust/fingerprints/crap on the window, its a bugger to clean and thats the best I could do without removing the whole thing and giving it some kind of +1 clean that I am incapable of with my level one cleaning skillz.

anyways, enough with the talk! pictures incoming!

*fap fap fap*

As i previously said, no updates for a while as funds are invested into a laptop and then off to china for 2 weeks

Holy sh*t that's epic. A custom 5.25" bezel would make it perfect. Not creative enough to come up with a design though :/

Because you asked so nicely

How did you get to the name 'bruiser'? Google returns a few hunderd 4x4 vehicles and a dozen or so boxers / wrestlers.
