[WYP]

Oooo, now this is an interesting idea. Love unique builds like this.

 

[Duality92]

​

So I just got confirmation from AMD that I'll be getting an A10-7890K for the final piece of hardware

 

[Davva2004]

Holy crap. Subbed.

 

[Duality92]

Holy crap. Subbed.

Welcome

 

[RickPlaysWarr]

love the idea, and will be watching this one. Where is the power supply going? I am unfamiliar with some of the components you listed.

Could you annotate your render above with markers / directions for the components.

The power supply will be similar to this http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-160-XT

but I won't be mounting it to the motherboard.

God damn, that's impressive.. sleeved up that thing would look freakin boss!!! What a cool idea

 

[AlienALX]

Must say I feel a little underwhelmed about the hardware going in this. Still, it's got some great WC gear and I am very interested in seeing the actual concept

I guess it puts an end once and for all to the "People don't water cool cheap hardware" argument any ways.

Looking forward to seeing more

 

[Duality92]

All of it's cables are cut at 3 inches already

 

[Duality92]

I redesigned the motherboard tray yesterday as I found that I wouldn't be able to mount the motherboard to the radiator with the layout I had designed previously because of the motherboard mounting. (couldn't access the 140mm fan holes with the motherboard installed). Now I can install the motherboard somewhat easier AFTER fixing it to the radiator.

Try and figure out what all the cable combs are for 32 total wires at the end.

[BigDaddyKong]

This is going to be exciting. Looking good.

Damn son! That PSU is amazing, I'm with SuB braided up and it will be amazing.

 

[Excalabur50]

Well can't wait to see where this one goes

 

[Duality92]

I hope that my motherboard will finally be finished Sunday. When that is done, I'll be able to move on with the rest of the build

 

[Duality92]

Here are pictures of my custom case for the HDPlex 160W (new revision). Since it's a PicoPSU style power supply and I didn't want to mount it to the motherboard, this is my solution

 

[Duality92]

Here is an update. I have completed the power supply case, the power supply bracket and the pump bracket. The main thing left to do is finalize the motherboard mount and make a few spacers for various locations to keep things even. Possibly 140mm fan grills too if I have long enough M3 screws.





​

 

[Duality92]

So the build isn't dead and I appologize for the lack of updates, I was faced with a big problem, the motherboard I had modded to remove the 24-pin and 4-pin connectors didn't survive the surgery I put it through. I had to order a new motherboard and design a custom PCB to achieve the look I was after

 

[Wraith]

Ooooh proper 24pin modding! I'm glued to this one.

Great!
