No updates untill late Febuary

Unfortunately due to my chosen line of work I am now in Iraq and won't be able to play with my cube project untill late feb

Ah well, thanks for letting us know at least instead of leaving us hanging

Stay safe in Iraq and bust a cap for me (if of course that's what you're doing in Iraq) :wavey:

nice work there looks nice atm. Im thinking of making a cube case too hopefully try make it a mini ish one with micro atx mobo and use it as a file/game server, i dunno what sizes to use yet and not sure if i should go with lots of 80mm or 120mm fans. 80mm might let me do more compact size i want. im thinking split cube into 2 in middle goes the mobo. and clear window on left side to see mobo and stuff then on right side have multiple hdds like 4 high and 4 across or something setup with a clear window and some lights behind the hdds. and maby cover with checkerplate or aluminum sheets and powdercoat it and maby even WC like yours. but still goto finish current project. sorry for stealing thread just felt like telling pplz my idea ( i hate thinking about wanting to do stuff with no money)

WB matey, seems to me that we both work for the same people except I normally spend 6 months in the sun, or mud /slime as it is this time of year.

Your project has given me some ideas and i just need to speak to "our specialist" and see how much time he has on his hands, might give him a project to do.

As for the metal putty stuff its called e-metal and is quite expensive (unless you can blag some for free)

 

[FarFarAway]

Looking forward to seeing a bit more on this project mate, welcome back

no actual colour added that is just the addative (zerex IIRC)

Hodgstar may I suggest using OC3D uploads so we don't get a load of popups and can see it quicker?

Looks very nice having said that - great way to do the watercooling

Id have to admit besides Marks builds and your trip to Iraq this is one of the fastest builds ive seen from scratch. At least progress wise. Now is your WC cooling the video first or the processor? Does it matter?

processor first then graphics card. As i see it there will be a very slight temp difference between the two so I put my procssor first as the graphics chip is made to run a bit hotter.

although the progress may appear fast this project has been a long time in the making. I have been planning it for some time.

when you say stable do you mean structurally or running in windows?

 

[deathwish]

i think he means structurally
