◄ Wall mounted, Water cooled PC (The RecoilMachine)

Hi all,

Having been inspired by a few other wall mounted PCs, I decided to build my own.


I used my existing hardware, but separated each component out and mounted them on a Perspex/Plexiglass plate. Each plate is backlit with LED's and mounted on a piece of framed and vinyl-clad hardboard.


2 months, around 20 individual shipments of components from three different continents, and countless hours of hard work later, 'The RecoilMachine' is ready and hanging on my wall.

I have also uploaded a video of the rig on YouTube:



The water-cooling system is a simple loop that covers both GPUs and the CPU, and bleeds the heat through one 360mm radiator wih three 120mm fans running at 1200 rpm. The pump is running at its lowest setting, which is still easily enough to keep temperatures down. Consequently, the whole system is very quiet.
Idle temps for CPU and GPUs are 38 C, and 32 C respectively.
Load temps for CPU and GPUs are 63 C, and 68 C respectively.
The temperature of the water in the loop never exceeds 30 C.

◄ Main System specs ►

◄ Water cooling specs ►
Aquacomputer Cuplex Kryos Delrin CPU water block
Alphacool Laing D5 Vario Pump
Monsoon Series Two Dual 5.25in Reservoir
Alphacool NexXxoS NVXP NV 590 Series GPU water block
Phobya G-Silent 12 1200rpm Fans, Black Silent Edition

Masterkleer Tubing PVC 19/13mm

The system is overclocked around 30% using a simple BCLK and voltage buff in the BIOS.

God I love wall builds! That looks awesome sir. The only criticism I could make is the Corsair logo being upside down, which drives my OCD nuts! ;)
 
That is a true sight to behold, as much a work of art as it is a PC.

Well done for making that mate, you should be very proud of what you have made here.
 
I would go as far as to say most creative build of the year:)

The year is still young :)
But thanks!

I KNOW!!! :lol:
Unfortunately it couldn't be any different if I wanted the PSU in the bottom right corner. The logo is stencilled into the plastic PSU cover so....

Thanks a lot. I am still getting off on walking into my office in the morning and pressing that sexy chrome start-button, and then wathcing the whole thing light up and whirr into life :)
 
Both look really good, and i have to say that you did it much better.
only thing i would change and say that the red build holds over yours is the braided cables.

But over all i have to say this is one of the best custom jobs i have ever seen.

Thanks a lot. Yea, I think I should get some braided cables for mine. It just looks a bit neater. :)
 
Holy poop this is cool, this appeals to me no end. Blue, glowing, eye catching, awesome. I wouldn't leave my room if I had this. What did you use for the glowing outlines?

Fantastic job, please post some more pictures :)
