Project Three Mile Island - Rev. C3

[FragTek]

4.5" hole saw, deburring tool, and 120 thru 600 grit sandpaper

im contemplating getting a maze4 instead of the z-chip... what do you guys think?

I imagine they would cool just about the same mate. I'd probably stick with the Z-Chip just because it's specifically designed for your applicaton.

well today, the x1800XT arrived, as well as the 2 fans for the top of my case:

 

[FragTek]

Very very sexy Justin!

I can't wait to see what that baby can pull

 

[WC Annihilus]

Stuff is looking damn nice here. Should be a monster :worship:

 

[FarFarAway]

Damn that looks sweet as!

Almost wish I'd purchased one of those sexy cards!

Then I look at my pwuddy 7800GTX 512mb:jerkit: :dribble:

Show us what that card can do!

 

[Sneaky]

ooh... its a bit off-topic from the project log, but i've been chatting with an old friend down in chitown for a while, and we wandered onto the topic of computers, and i started babbling about cooling, and how i wanted a DI/LN2 tube... he wanted to know what that was - i showed him pics of some on XS, and hes just sends a reply "give me dimensions and i can probably make it happen"

so if he can make it happen, its going to be a hawt custom thick-wall dry ice tube - 2" ID 2 1/4" OD main tube - 12" tall

and a base thats 1/2" thick, and milled somewhat like this one that i found on XS, but with the center dimple enlarged a little bit, and grooves cut where the lines are:

oh hot damn, if this comes together as planned, this 955XE will be going sky high for some sick little benchmark runs in addition to the treat of being WC'd under a Storm G5

 

[Dav0s]

where would you get DI/ln2????

 

[FragTek]

You can buy DI at the grocery store by the pound for super cheap.

Stupid question Dave...c'mon - if you can buy guns at your local grocery store in USA, you sure as hell can get Dry Ice. Its not like its dangerous or anything

ripped everything out of the case today to integrate the DD ATI-X18 block into the WC loop... which will probably happen tomorrow or thrusday night (so i gotta have this damn thing laying on my tool cabinet until then)

 

[FragTek]

It'll be snazzy when she's in though That XT looks like a monster, w00t w00t!

U need to score that 955XE so you can start DICE testing! :yumyum:

 

[Sneaky]

got my DD dual bay reservoir in from CrazyPC.com today (props to them for actually having it IN STOCK! - no one else had the clear ones)

and got the new WC loop with the DD ATI-X18 full cover block set up, with ABSOLUTELY NO LEAKS when i first filled it up and turned on the pumps

i also got another paycheck (w00teh!) so as soon as guava gives me the thumbs up, off goes payment for the tasty 955XE

 

[Eguy]

[FarFarAway]

Whoa sweet mate - lookes real pruddy

 

[FragTek]
