SR-2 STACKER

[B NEGATIVE]

That new thing they have released looks wrong. Looks cheap with bare mesh and that fucking fan in the window.

Looks like a 3 year old case.

It looks cheap for sure,too much plastic nonsense,no 'serious' watercooler will touch it IMO.
You know this means more PRON FROM THE DON!

You promised the last time you did this, that it was the last time you'd revive a thread. I call for public Lynching!!

Someone is getting the horse head....:lol:

They've milked just about everything out of the HAF series now.

Agreed on that window. Anyone who's buying this case would surely watercool, and so the fan is completely pointless - but most likely only there to try to cling on to the original HAF styling.

Leave shit like this to caselabs.

The whole case is unimaginative,basic is not always better....
Shame,they had a golden opportunity to make this something to stand out in the euro market.
The 840 was a looker to begin with,Paul just put the bitch is stockings and suspenders :notworthy:.....



To this day,as CM will tell you,this is one of my all time favorite builds. The style is something i subscribe to for my stuff,clean and to the point.

Cheers guys

I decided ditch the Koolance Bay-Res's and grab a couple of Monsoon Series Two Basic Dual Drive Bay Reservoirs as i'm making my own front bezel so these were the better option, along with a couple of Red Fitting Kits from Specialtech so they fit in with the overall black / red theme and i have to say, i wasn't disappointed as they really are a nice quality bit of kit and look spot on with the contrasting red hardware

The only problem was that i really wanted the red aluminium D5 pump covers on Monsoon Premium to really finish off the job properly so contacted Monsoon direct and fingers crossed, i should hopefully have a couple before i start adding liquid to the system :alcoholic:

I also swapped out the previous radiators and added a couple of XSPC EX240's for the GPU loop and swapped out the old Coolermaster 1200w Silent Pro in favour of the EVGA 1500w Supernova

But anyway, today was all about test fitting and seeing if i could remember how this thing went back together and so far so good

the whole stacking idea is just stupid, looks like a case with a big tumor on the top.
/edit
ooops thought this was about the haf stack thingy. your case looks okay, not really my taste but an sr2 build is always amazing.

i was on page 8 and the first post i saw was that utter stupid haf thingy. then i posted, reviewed my post and saw that this was actually a build log and not about that one picture posted :lol:

Aaargh, I missed this while in hospital.

Anyway: @coolmiester: You can revive this thread as many times as you want for
all I care. I always like coming back here.

Reason being:

^^^this. Along with B Neg's SR-2 build, this one was what made me want an SR-2
really badly. :lol:
Plus, I got a lot of inspiration from the two builds.

Cheers guys

OK :lol:

Not the most exiting thing to round the week off but decided to swap out the three fan controllers and replace with a 6" touch screen to run EVGA Ultimate Power Control software so time to make a new bezel.

......how about these for straight cuts with a fret saw :crazy:

 

[wassupdoc]

That is a fantastic looking mod! Much better than having loads of dials sticking out

I miss the true modding community. THANKYOU for replenishing my faith in human hand crafting work

 

[coolmiester]

I did a little time lapse thing which was meant to be of hosing and filling this thing up but unfortunately i ran out of hose half way through




But anyway, it's all going at quite a pace now given there is only 8 days until i50.

The touch screen bezel which replaces the fan controllers is finished and painted so i now needed a way to power all the fans and got my hands on these nifty little Power Distribution PCBs from ModMyToys which are perfect.

I ran out of Primochill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 7/16" Hose Grrr but a repeat order turned up today so was able to get both loops hosed up and filled and got to say that hose is crystal clear......love it

Anyway, apologies for some random pictures at various stages but it's currently filled and bleeding as i write this so hopefully i should get it fired up either tonight or tomorrow and see how things go from there.

I had completely forgot about this log, I remember following it when I was still a newbie here

 

[enRodjavel]

SO BEAST!, damn this is a Goodlooking Monster of awsome!

 

[coolmiester]

Not exactly sure what happened but fired the system up today for the first time and left it running for about 20 mins went to restart and the PSU is showing power to the board but nothing when i click the go button.

Couldn't get it to fire up again so swapped it out with a Coolermaster 1300w SPH and all seems well apart from it not looking the part so not sure what to make of the Supernova but its due to go on show at a LAN in eight day and really wanted to run the Supernova Ultimate Power Control software on the 6" touch screen :nopity:

Anyway, its up and running now and starting to look a bit more like a computer

 

[coolmiester]

Panic over as EVGA managed to express me a new 1500w Supernova PSU which arrived Monday so got it installed and got the case all back together.

6" touch screen is currently running EVGA Supernova Ultimate Power Control software which looks pretty cool.

So, the SR-2 will go to the ball.........plan on driving down to i50 on Thursday to get the booth set up in time for opening to the public on Friday, so if you're attending don't forget to call by.

Finally, a few photo's of the finished rig.

 

[Conchubair]

Tis looking great, as ever. Good to see you got that issue worked out.

Good luck at i50 ;-)

I personally think it needs more radiators and tubing ^-^

Awesome design

Oh I know, I've had messier single card air cooled systems.

What display is that? It looks really great with your build
