ZaX's new Water Rig...

[ZaX]

Lo all,

Just finished rehousing the parts to my work comp in a new case with water cooling. I have to say a BIG thanks to Phil for having patience with me on my order, so THANKS Phil. Some pics...

Main system specs;

P4 550 (3.4 Ghz) @ 4.2 Ghz

1 Gb Corsair PC5400 DDR2

Abit AA8 Mobo

X850XT PE (OEM)

That is superb mate well done! Really different too. I love the custom 120 blowholes in the roof of the case - must have been difficult cutting those into perspex! By the way if you want I have "Extreme Prometeia" branded Thermochill grills now instead

Very nice mate

 

[ZaX]

Thanks guys, I think I need to give those grills a miss Phil as I've spent way too much money on this "work" computer. I cheated a bit on the blow holes, I gave the design to my local plastic specialist to cut for me.

I didnt mean buy them, just swap them! Entirely up to you.

Yes I would have done that too - cutting into plastic is harder than it looks.

 

[ZaX]

What do they look like then Phil?

Exactly the same as what you have there but instead of "Thermochill" they say "Extreme Prometeia"

very nice work there zax, hopefully ill be able to get that sort of clock when i get my cooling.

phil, are all of the thermochill ones you are selling now with epuk logo, or do you have to request, and are you able to get in d4 or d5 pumps, ive emailed many times

looks nice. I imagine it must be very hard to keep those cases clean looking.

Yeah you're right Nick, I have to be careful in which direction I sneeze Seriously though, these Beantech cases are supplied with a pair of white gloves for working on them.

Looking good there ZaX.

Can you fit you finger between the bars of those grills? They look good and not very restrictive, but the gaps loop large enough for a finger.

[GoLLuM4444]

Yeah I guess they're ideal if you've got a setup like that with the rad on top rather than pull fans as I agree it does look like a finger could get through to fans.

 

[ZaX]

Yeah you can stick your finger between the grills but the fans are on the other side of the rad sucking air through, been told thats more efficient.

Cheers Harry, the PSU is outside the case. I got a modular PSU of Phil which means all the cables can be unplugged from it if I need to move the machine.

[scorchio]

Thats one hell of a tidy rig!!I only wish mine looked half as good.

very nice idea mate

I`ve always had a soft spot for Perspex cases Very nice

I see that the PSU is an A.C. Ryan.... Whats it like? Finding reviews on it/them is/are impossible!

Nice one Zax!

Cheers guys,

I'm no expert on PSUs, I just bought this one because, one, it was modular and two, Phil had it. You can find a review of it here;

I'm not sure why you'd say "are" as the second option .
