Project Zuno (Rig called Zuno)

[Paradox1]

Hy guys & girls!

I'm new on this forum,so first I would like to say sorry if I do something wrong about pics (still didn't get how it works).I will update this thread,if I get enything new.I will do some real photos of rig when gpu come.

So,all this,mods, I did in april,but now I have decited to post it here.
Project isn't sponsored as you can see,so everything is paid by me.
End will be when I put loop in it.But to be earnest,no end for this.
Spec:
i7 4770K w/ Corsair H110 push
MSI z87 Mpower MAX
KingstonHyperX 4x4GB DDR3 16GB
KingstonHyperX SSD 3k 120GB
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
OCZ ZX850 850W
Corsair Carbide 500R
-x2 AF120mm white led
-x2 AF140mm white led
-G.skill turbulence ram cooler (just for esthetics)
-24pin, 8pin ATX,front panel all sleeved
-LEDs
everything packed up in 500R (Corsair)




I. PAINTING
-case taken apart,rly ez,if someone don't know how to do it,pls don't mess with it.Alo taken apart CD-ROM.Rly ugly thing.

-my case is combo of black and metallic grey colour.Black isn't so bad,but that grey is so.... it sucks.
-parts are preparing for paint with sandpaper.Not sure which I used,so I can't tell for sure,I thinks it's for final brush.
-black colour went directly,but yellow colour had to wait.First I had to put white,then yellow colour.One night of drying,and still wasn't dry.
-this is the final result:

II. SLEEVING
-x2 8pin ATX (extensions)
-x1 24pin ATX (extension)
-x2 Y 4pin splitter
-front panel (I will do it again,I was terrible
-vents

III. H110 push mod Corsair 500R
500R is great case,but,it can't fit H110 in push.I had to change it.
I expend the "cable" hole.Really easy.If someone planning to do this,he can also do "copy-paste" method.With paper you can transfer the shape from one side to another.
Then new problem.Top grill can't fit in,cos rad is too big.Plastic framework is just too big.U have to cut middle piece,and reduce side plastic.Check picture,how it looks now.

IV. SIDE PANEL
When u have great build,you have to show off.With stock mesh u can't,but with plexi window,u can.Here it is.
First I cut corners and tryed to made them as straight as possible,then I prepare panel for painting.Then with drill I did some holes.I marked them with help of plexi.
I bought screws which match to the holes on the plexi and nuts for them.
I will put a scheme of it.You don't need top and bottom middle holes.

Happy gaming,benchmarking and overclocking!
It will be continued...

 

[Wraith]

Wow... it's different, different is good! Not a fan of Yellow but it's different.. and kudos for disassembling before painting, I hate when people cut corners and mask everything. Look forward to seeing more.

 

[tinytomlogan]

What GPU is going in there dude?

Really dont need that ram fan btw

 

[Paradox1]

Yeah,in pile of Red and Black combos,this is something differently.
I will try not to disappoint you.

GTX 780 Gaming or R9 290 gaming (MSI ftw).
I know.It's just to cover ram modules,I bought it for 90 HRK (about 12€).I was planning to mod it,but out of ideas for now. [spoiler-I always have ideas,but still not sure for this].


I'm not sure for this pics,I bet that mods edits this. (thanks who ever be,for making it work)

EDIT:
Didn't saw inbox, hmmblah edit 1st post. (ty again)

 

[Tripp]

Nice mate, not keen on the ocz psu like but yeah other than that it looks great

 

[Paradox1]

I agree with you,but
I bought OCZ psu while they were on "good voice",but still works fine,and warranty still runs at importer,so np for me. =00=

 

[Wraith]

Hate to burst your bubble dude but since OCZ went bankrupt and was acquired buy Toshiba, there are no active warranties on any of their PSUs any more only a select few old OCZ SSDs still carry the warranty.

EDIT: Toshiba not Samsung

 

[Paradox1]

Bro,in my country,everything is upsidedown.
I know what happend in world,but also what is happening in my country.My backs are covered =00=


EDIT:
#Croatia


lol

 

[FourLions]

looks great i hope u keyed the parts before painting and u can get a plastic primer that flexes

 

[Paradox1]

gpu is in!

R9 290 Gaming,made by:MSI

This is revision,PCIe connectors are flipped to "normal side".

Now I have to sleeve PCIe cables.

 

[Paradox1]

New nice pics:
Did some cleaning,fixing some cables.
PCIe cables probably won't be sleeved,cos I can't get pin out.
Tryed everything.:mellow::mellow:

No more plans for it,mybe crossfire in future (when this gpu starts to struggle with details )

Did you saw how gpu started to bend?
I will let her bends for 2 years,then going for warranty.

 

[Feronix]

Looking very good matey! Personally don't even think you needed the LED strips - I think it looks better with just the fans even though you don't really need RAM coolers

 

[theDTP]

Stunning, nice work.

Personally I'd have a little bit more intake than exhaust, I see you have just 2 fans as intake and 4 exhaust (asuming the cooler is exhausting, I can't see), it will get dusty fast.

As for sleeving the PCIe cables, you can make your own extensions

Also, I would remove HDD cages.

Looking great mate! Very nice paintwork.

Well,light from fans are low.I mean rly low.
RAM cooler is here just to light it (motheboard) in middle.We all know that it's useless.



theDTP
ty!
For in->140 at psu,x2 120mm at front.
For out->x2 140 on H110,x1 140 at vrm's.
I have rly retarded carpet,so even if I have only 2 exhaust it will be dusty.
I'm using filters at bottom and front,and still I got dust in. (not alot,but still there is).

I don't have gear for it.I have wires,but don't have tool for crimping+I don't have pins.

First I have to buy little car e30 only (I' mean on toy-car) and then I will remove just upper cage.
Car would fit on top of bottom cage great.

You PSU isn't an intake or exhaust, it is self contained, intake at bottom exhaust out back (no air goes in the case). So you have 2x120mm in only and for out (exhaust) you have 2x140mm on H110, 1x140mm at rear, 1x120mm on the floor.

You are getting rid of more air than you have going in, so what will happen is air will come in through small gaps and bring dust with it as opposed to air coming through fan filters (sometimes even small flies, if it lands in the right place could kill components, happened to a friend of mine)

 

[Paradox1]

I post pics on main forum,1 guy said me for that psu vent.
I checked it,and realize it (rong side problem).While filter is below him,air comes back (part of it).I will fix it in few sec


EDIT:
Changed orientation of bottom (blows in) and orientation of vrm vent (side vent) blows in.

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

Looks rad, even though yellow is not my favourite colour (PURPLE FTW)
(also I would get a toxxic card in there by sapphire for more yellow)
Good job, I wouldn't never be arsed to go through that modding

 

[truesilax]

nice at first i thought you were gona put to much yelow in side at first but you gave it a nice trim with it.
