You could say i should put a build log in the appropriate forum but for me this is more of a journey and as i'm an amateur and i'm not ready to go pro just yet i will stay where i feel comfortable.

As allways any input or constructive criticism is allways welcome, am not 100% decided on the final build so feel free to chip in along the way :)



1 Mountain Mods Ascension cyo crafted by w3bbo

It came with all the watercooling bits n bobs you see in the pics but wanted to make it my own so 1 minute after New Year began it was out with the power driver and deconstruction time.




The only thing thats set in stone is it will house 2 systems 1 of which will be an sr2 and undecided on the 2nd probably a Rampage 3.
For the short term i will be running an i7 930 Rampage 3 on air untill the two new motherboard trays/backpanel are made and shipped.
Once i am happy and have fully decided on the exact setup configuration both will be installed on air just to see how much space is left and what i decide to watercool.
 
i was wondering what you were going to put in the case after i saw you bought it, ill be interested to see this take shape..... now wouldnt 2 sr2s be a monster!

:) I wish i could k3v i really do am so cash strapped at the minute am cointing pennies for toilet rolls tommorrow :eek:
But i will continue crunching at a mutch reduced output for the immaediate future see what the New Year turns up :)

**Edit** Your absolutely right k3v it has to be 2 x sr2 now thanks for a nudge in the right direction :)

That is one very impressive case! I saw the for sale thread and was hoping to see a build log :)
 
Hi Mr dekez a few people have emailed me asking why i have dissmantled it but i wanted to start from the ground up on air, then test a few layouts first.
Just ordered and paid for 2 mobo trays for it and a replacement backpanel so hopefully they will be here in a few weeks and i can really get cracking.
Had heard a lot of good things about Mountain Mods so (this is k3v's fault for the record ;) i thought what the heck these will be on the way soon i hope.




2 of the mobo trays and the back panel to be powder coated in white of course and am waiting on 3 different lots of red tubing to see which one i like the most :)

I hope you live near a substation that is very reliable.:D
 
Morning Sir-Les-Mp, part of the reason for doing it will be the huge drop in power requirements going from 2 i7-930 rigs and 8/9 gpu to 2xsr2's and 4 gpu should save quite a bit in the long run.
I know it's like putting all your eggs in one basket but it will allow me to get rid of a fair bit of hardware and everything will be in one place hopefully nice n neat when i'm finished :)
I can't keep calling it "Le Fridge" allthough it does look like one, so if anyone wants to chip in with any naming ideas.....keep it clean :eek::)
 
This promises to be one very interesting thread - will follow closely while covering my eyes!

Good luck Toxic - you are in for a fun ride..

I suggest "Vortex" or "Vortices" as it has many a fan in it :D

Not bad Mr M not bad but vortex suggests turbulance and confusion, allthough in my case its probably quite apt i might think of other names ;):)

I was sat piddling about New Years eve and i knew i would never be happy unless i went all out knowing what the case can hold so you won't be the only one covering your eyes, your right though it's all about the ride :)

**Edit** on the plus side i was counting pennies for toilet rolls yesterday but found 4 kitchen rolls....that'll do me :eek::D
 
you seemed to have fitted quite well into this forum mr t bag and i cant wait to see what your going to do with this awesome case.

you seem to be quite a character and pretty funny to boot so this will be a funny journey for all of us :)
 
Thanks for the kind words schizo220168, learnt a long time ago that being misserable takes up far too much time and energy.Smiling uses less muscles and keeps everyone guessing what your upto.
In all honesty it's such a big case and a lot of the work is allready done thanks to w3bbo so i will concentrate on the minor details, will be sure to put a few unique and decidedly odd touches to it :)
 
It wouldnt be on my shopping list but as you say if it reduces running costs in the long run then I understand your motivation - I feel your pain on that one :(

I have a goal for you when its up and running - this guy must be taken out - http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=310687

We cant have the GPU Users Group holding the UK RAC title........its just not on :D

I cant touch him at the moment as I am maxed out on Seti, Milkyway and Einstein and the 9800gx2 croaking on me didnt help.

On a side note I was gutted I missed that i7 you sold, would have had that without a doubt :(
 
Yup overall lowering of the old electric bill was a priority, i won't even ask you what your averaging now except your probably working 30 out of 40hours a week just for electric.:(

Now we can't go picking on individuals just because they choose the wrong side of the pond can we ?
Yeah ok squish em like a bug on a 4x4 will give it my best shot when am up n running.

Didnt realise you were after an i7 Mr Halz sah, that'll teach you to pay closer attention to the members market ;):) Will have a root through me drawers and see if there's owt kicking about :)
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I wasnt expecting to see that when i started reading this just now! That will make one hell of a crunching machine! Rough toilet paper is a small price to pay, i cant wait to see this thing go together.
