i7 Skeleton build and mod log

Thanks for the feed back guys, The lighting is still a work in progress as I lack the skills necessary to have the confidence to change out LEDs that are linked tothe MOBO. Don't want things to go Foooom.

I'm about to start another mod of a skeleton and am thinking of throwing the the idea for the mod open to the forum, so what do you guys think? what would you do with it????

If it was me I wouldnt mod another skeleton but get a proper case and mod that.

I know everyone, well, most modders, have these 'normal' cases, but imo a well modded 'normal' case is better than a modded skeleton.

having seen what I've done with this one, somebody has asked me to build and mod one for them. They have young kids so I'll be incorporating the mesh kit into their build so as to stop prying fingers damaging the PC (and the kid I suppose). As I've really enjoyed doing it and have a few more ideas I want to try out I thought why not.

Don't get me wrong, I like traditional cases a great deal, every other PC I've ever had has been in one, but thought as we're all trying to make something that looks normal and "stock" look individual by modding it, I would start with something that didn't look that normal in the first place.
 
Just taken the rig to 4.2 (200 x21) and all seems very well.
core temps are between 35 and 40 degrees at idle, rising to 75-82 after an hour or so of prime95

Tried for 4.3, it would boot and run windoes, surf and even 3D mark, but BSOD'd about 10 seconds into prime.
 
Welcome to the forum Ainuin.

I got it direct from Antec Europe over in holland, but I think there are a few places in the UK that might do it. can't name them as against forum rules but i'm sure if you google it you'll find them.
 
Decided i'm going to water cool this Skeleton.

Aren't too many examples out there so no well trodden path re location of the kit, as in Rad goes her, pump there res down there etc

I'm be mounting a Phobya G-Changer 360 rev 1,2 vertically on the outside of the case, secured to the lower mesh panel.

This will be linked to a EK-DDC X-RES 140 with a Swiftech MCP355 Laing DDC-Pump 12V DDC-1Plus 18W Ultra coupled to it, also attached to the mesh on the outside of the case.

Just cooling the CPU at first, but with this rad i should have no bother if I add GPU etc at a later date.


Welcome ideas on tubing and dye coulour, I'm thinking yellow dye (can anyone recommend a good deep yellow) and clear or yellow tubing, and useing black compression fittings (bitspower if I can get hold of them.

So do i start a new thread or carry on with this one
 
Expecting my WC kit to come today, can't wait

Last time I was this excited I was 6 it was Christmas and I was fairly certain Santa was bringing me and actionman Helecopter.

So any ideas re the tubing/dye???

Come on guys.
