Project MonoBits
- Thread starter KoSoVaR
- Start date
Sorry that this update was a little late, do have a lot sleeveworks right now and regret priority over construction of the project.
It is a bit sad that I get so little feedback here on OC3D, this is after all one of my english home and favourite forums
Some more comments, feedback, suggestions, and much more would have been really nice!
Now on to what i have done:
-I have been scetching on how I will mount the rads for the most optimal tuberouting
-Mounted radiators (got a little problem with frontrad)
-Mounted some hardware
Plans for what to do:
-Paint some details in dark gray
-Moddify the frontplate so that the frontrad fits into place
-Sleevt the PSU and other wiring
-Mount the water blocks
-Mount the hardware
-Mount the fittings and the tubes
-Fil the system up and leak test
-Game the heck out of it in Dreamhack Winter 2012!
-Photo Shoot in the studio
Now the radiators are finnaly inside. ... but i had some problems with the frontrad... I need do moddify the baseplate of the frontpanel a little, so that the rad could fit to the bottom of the case as the endtank of the 240mm rad touches the front panel bottom plate , it shall be easy to fix with the dremel
It took several tries before I found the optimal location for water connection holes ... but damn good it was if one may say so myself
Now the problem, the radiator cant sit toward the front panel, but it should be fixed pretty fast while those details I have chosen to be prepared for the paintjob.
I mounted the motherboard inside to get an overview of the whole thing, it looks very good so far!
Then i mounted an GTX470 and played with a sleevad extension cable of how it would look
All the radiators are attached with very clean looking 6mm UNC-32 screws from MDPC-X
Snapcaps for the rear radiator screws... It's the details that make everything
That's all for this time ... i hope to however to get more comments and feedback from all of you!
I know you can do better: D!
Best Regards

Love the sleaving dude. I can't really help with the watercooling bits though
Very nice
Nice to hear !
Now for todays update!
I did not do a lot today, but it was much needed for my build and the whole theme ...
Today I prepared some details from the chassis before the paint began to watersand the metal parts which went very well but quickly... however the plastic front with the soft-touch finish on the took some time... luckily I already knew how to to 100% remove all the paint as it rises if you paint over it. I then got even a little time left over at the end out the day and drove out my newly painted VW Golf MKII out from the paint booth and ran into the details for paint...
I then went up to our color cabinet and began looking for a dark gray 2K varnish on Stansox's color database ...It didnt went as good as expected, I could not find the color I was looking for. The color I wanted is the MDPC-X Shade 19, which im going to sleeve the psu with.
I then started mixing my own costumcolor and after about 5-6 minute I got 98% out of the same color as the sleeve and then walked myself down to paint sprayguns and began to mix the paint with thinner and hardener, I sadly dont have pictures when painting the parts :/
Now on to some pictures, taken with my Sensation XE :/
Theese case details will be paintes:
-The front panel (the base of the frontpanel)
-The 240mm Mesh on the top
-The motherboard plate
-The PSU Bracket
The color looks a little bit foggy, this is due to the quick drying thinner who simply does it job
Took them out to the outside for a little moment (better light)
After about 2 hours or so the paint had hardened (cured) completely, i the took the painted details with caution and test fitted them, looks totaly great if i can say so!
I hope you appreciated the update so far

Ι would love to see a case painted that color ^^, know it's just the flash light on it making it look so awesome to me.

I wish I got big boxes of Bitspower stuff. That stuff is expensive.

Yeah its pretty expensive but i got a good deal
Hello Guys!
Sorry for an late update, but better late than never....right ?
I started to take the case appart more, this time the case feet and handles. They had to be gone becaose of the rivets who are placed behind them and need to be removed so that i can take the bottom piece appart.
After the drill it looket like this
Here you can take a look at the simple modification that i did, that piece touched the endtank and didnt let me to allign the rad with the holes, it also didnt let the rad to stay flush with the front. Could you think that a 2mm piece of plate could do such difference?
White rivets fromMDPC-X, a lot of them !
Then it was time to rivet everything together, i also did the motherboard tray, went like a charm!
Something i am doing meanwhile!
That was the update for tonight everyone :dremel:!

Nice job putting it back together, looking forward to more
Nice job putting it back together, looking forward to more
Thanks you, it was a pleasure
Its has gone very well so far
im very glad that the rads actually fitted into place!At last update!
As I longed, I apologize that I could not have done this in the past but have completely honestly been busy.
I have a large amount of sleevearbaten that must be done before DHW2K12, and it has Sloat down my process for the project when I velar have relatively functional for the event. I hope I can get it together before then, otherwise I just run with my temporary system.
Aja think about it, this may not be a huge update but I would anyway show what I managed to do so far and I hope that you are content with it
What I had to do is put up a temporary rig for the radiators and there are two steps that I use myself out to get all the dust inside and **** from rescuers (on the inside).
I started by getting there a little fittings and connect all the radiators in series.
Besvarar samtidigt en anonym fråga, och svaret är ja moderkortsplåten är lackad på undersidan
The first step is to clean the entire system with warm tap water for 2-3 hours, it is usually enough very well, in the meantime, I took and turned the entire chassis and different directions and shook greatly to get any dirt, metallic particles, solder etc to come off radiator graduated inner walls.
I also made a small clip where I demonstrate how I set up everything:
When this part was top, so to speak, I began part two where I do almost the same thing but now I clear my entire system with distilled water, in order that the oxide does not form inside the radiators but also to get a second thorough review out of it all , here I turned on the case, and shook it in the first part out of the treatment.
What I usually do differently right here is that I use water out of the vacuum cleaner to quickly get out all the water, and I let it on for 1-1.5 hours to ensure that all the water was gone from the radiators.
Overall, I did so myself of 3L distilled water during the whole process and the clip I show with the little I had saved in a small bottle, vacuum cleaner learn to let some but you see what happens anyway.
Here's a small clip on the other part out of cleansing:
As you can see in the pictures it has been almost 90% dry throughout the system and allow it to evaporate the last of the drops, simply as that
That's all for this time
Peace out!

Looks Amazing Dude!
Thank you, I were about to go for white ones...but it would just have been too much, i will blend some copperbrown into the sleeving aswell to give it some more contrast
Thank you, subscribe for more !
Thank you
