Project: Komodo

[OcSurfer]

Should have posted this yesterday but overslept! DAMN LATES!
anyway here are some pics of what ive gotten done the last few days!
managed to get an XSPC RS240 and brand new Raystorm block off another forum for a bargain at £45!
heres the rad mounted!

And from the other side!

Front space empty!

System in ready for the watercooling bits.
you might notice that the drive bays are missing,
cut the bottom of them out with a dremel just riveted them in need to take pictures.

Good progress! The red bits on the motherboard look great surrounded by all that black, it's the only red things I liked in a while. I'm more of a white/black type a guy but when something looks good, it looks good!

 

[OcSurfer]

Only a little more red going in that'll be the braided cables and the blood red coolant

That's the type of theme I like. Where there is more of one color and a little of the other. In that case a black/red theme will be nice, and if I think about it more, I think this type of theme will turn out nice with most colors.

Pascal from Aquatuning has sorted out all of the watercooling for this and some other builds, it's on it's way to me now so expect an update shortly!

 

[OcSurfer]

[OcSurfer]

So today was the day that ive been waiting for for a long time now, Water cooling time!
Was expecting this parcel yesterday, but ups changed the delivery date, but thank god, its turned up today!
First things first,
MASSIVE thanks to Pascal at Aquatuning for sorting out the water cooling for this AND Coolsair, top guy, even got the matte black rotary 45s in for me, well worth a look.

The rather medium sized box full of gear to finish this off!

And here it is,
One Watercool 670 block,
3l of aquatuning clear fluid, with some primochill blood red dye.
numerous Alphacool, matte black, half inch barbs, with rotary 45's and 90's
phobya led strip, 2x leds for the raystorm and a molex to 2x sata power,
and then some masterkleer 7/16 tubing.

Sorry for the poor image quality only have my iphone,
hate teh stupid green PCB of the wireless card, but alas its something the missus needs to have in her rig, so hopefully she'll enjoy it.
there will be an update on this rig in the summer,
its going to be going on the PEXONPC's stand at I49 along with COOLSAIR,
its going to have a side window put in, touch up the paint work, and custom braiding on the PSU and Fan cables.

First off, super happy to see an AMD-based build on these forums for a change. Secondly, looks really nice! About that PCB: couldn't you just snag some black Di-Noc and cover that PCB up? What kind of temps is that thing working with?

 

[OcSurfer]

in all honesty bud, i would di-noc it but its not my rig and she doesn't really care, as long as she can do her work on it and play wow and a few other games every now and then. the temps are good did some stress tests on it last night gpu never went above 40 degrees, just need to run 3d mark and Furmark to see how it does with them, in regards to the cpu i don't know, its clocked at 4.8, but i need to find a program that monitors amd temps properly.
