The Cell

[da axxxe]

hey guys first time posting here and thought ya might like to see what i,m currently working on

the reason i,m doing this build is because my current rig is way to loud .as it contains 19 xtralow fans in a case i built myself just to see if i could do it the short answer is yes but couldnt go past the switch 810

the parts ill be using in this rig are as is followed
Asrock x79 extreme 9
Intel I7 3930k
G-skill Ripjaw x 2133mhz (i have 32 gig ATM)
Gigabyte Gtx 660 Ti
2X Corsair Force 3 60g ssd (In raid 1 config )
WD Blue 500g HHD
Superflower 1200 watt Crystal sereis psu
120mm,240mm and 360mm black ice gt stealth rads
primochill white 1/2 id 3/4od tubing
heatkiller rev 3.0 1366/2011 cpu cooler
ek dcp 4.0 pump
primochil ctr 120mm compression tube reservoir
koolance Fluorescent red coolant
and a lot of white bitspower fittings

hey guys just a small update hahaha .the first thing that was done once the case arrived witch you might not be able to see in the pics is install some filter material in that bottom left corner of the front panel so now all inlets are now dust free .once this was done i started on the top and front cutout and installed the rads to begin the planning of the tubing to keep with the whole stealth look and here,s were i,m up to .i,ve had to put this on hold till nextweek due to easter but should have more updates soon.the whole theme to this build is the cell witch alice is held in in resedent evil

It's always nice to see a watercooled build

Clearly you have never seen my first w/c build :lol:

But yes, looking forward to the rest of this. Love me some HW Labs radiators (have some SR-1's myself).

cheers people for all the feedback .so its update time and i,ve done a little bit to the rig so far mainly configuring the loop itself and how make it as stealth as possible so far i think i,ve done ok and hidden a much as possible .i also decided on getting a new pump as the pump i was going to use didn,t queit go with the overall theme and look i was going for .so ill be using the Koolance PMP-450 12V Variable Speed Pump as its based on the d5 so ill be modding the pump as well .Also made a decission on the fans in the top pannel and under the 240mm rad will be the Arctic cooling f12 TC fans the fans on the top of the 240mm rad on the 120mm rad and underneath the 360mm rad will be the enermax cluster twister bearing white led fans .Behind the front pannel wil be 2 enermax apollish 140mm red fans to light up the umbrella logo cutout ive done on the front pannel .so here a few pic if ive done it right lol

Ok, so, not quite sure why you used the code that you did, but it's all good now. Press the edit button on your previous post to see how the

cheers for fixing my stuff up josh still getting used to using this forum and imgur . So i,ve decieded to change the power supply for a silverstone strider 1000W Gold evolution st 1000g and should be ordering my fans in tomorrow .sorry i have no pics yet butt still waiting on parts to start coming through .i also plan on painting my 240mm and 120mm rads white in the next few days .I was going to paint the 360mm rad but as its no really seen i figure there,s no real point. might also paint the top and bottom caps of the res white as well .i finally got round to glueing in the filter material on the top pannel and re seating the filter material in the bottom corner of the front pannel .lets see those dust bunny,s get in know lol . if anyone one has any input or ideas to improve what,s been done so far just let us know .

hey guys so haven,t been able to much due to my budget and a slight problem with my parts supplier .they had the 6 enermax cluster fans butt had sold out of the arctic f12 TC fans i,d had wanted to use . so i went with the nexus real silent fans instead as they were the same price and i had already paid for the arctic,s .still a good fan butt would have been nicer to use the arctic,s butt that,s life :mellow:. so far while was a bit strapped for cash i started on painting the 2 rads i mention,d here,s a pic of the 12omm rad sorry bought the pic quality as my flash was a wee bit to bright

and here,s a what it looks like with the enermax cluster mounted to it .the shade of white on the rad is a bit of in the pics due to the poor lighting butt is a very close match for a spray can so i think i can live with that.i,ve also ordered in my pump,bitfenix white sleeved sat 3 cables ,nzxt 1/8 white sleeving and some 1/8 red uv heatshrink .As i plan on doing all the cables on my new psu with white sleeving and red heatshink just be different and would like to see how it would look. I also think the red heatshrink at both end of the sleeving should make a nice and neat look without going to far with the red .if not i,ll do something like this in the diagram below .luckily have a lot of red modsmart 1/8red sleeving lying aroun

still going and thought id share the latest progress so here,s some pic,s :lol:

Somebody call the hose police! (or TTL)

 

[alpenwasser]

Man those white rads really look nice. But agreed, that long tube run needs to get hidden

Looking forward to more.

 

[da axxxe]

yeah im still trying to figure a nice clean way to run that tube.makes it a bit harder to considering my parts supplier is out of the fitting i need to run it along the back of the case .i could use the red fittings i have left over from a older built butt i think that would ruin the overall look . should have my pump in 2 days time and a few other pieces so i,ll post pics asap .would have done more work to the case this weekend butt caught a nasty stomach bug witch is kinda slowed me down lol

will upgrading my gtx660ti to a gtx 680 in the next few weeks also .thinking of giving it away to someone on this forum so if ya have a card that need desperate upgrading let us know .this wont be for another month but as soon as my new card is installed ill be rady to send it on its way

 

[da axxxe]

well i got home from work today and well some more parts arrived .so i can begin sleeving some of the wires that i,ll be using .also took a comparison photo to the size of the koolance pmp450 next to my older ek dcp.4 and it,s a bit bigger then i was expecting . 20 meters of bitfenix sleeving should be enough i think :headscratch:

Edit:
does anyone know if the d5 pump mods will work with this pump as i,ve read some where that this is the replacment for the d5
:iamwithstupid::rollinglaugh:just looked at the back of the pump and in big bold letters laing d5t vario

 

[da axxxe]

thought upload a few pics of the case the hardware is in know .this more of a what not to do when doing a scratch build .i was just in to much of a hurry to finish it and mistakes were made .lots of em .anyone who thinks there pc is loud have no idea of the noise this thing makes even with the fan controller fan vibration was a big issue i was also living in a caravan at the time to save money .glad those days are behind me
