My Water Cooling and Case Mod Project!

FuZion or Apogee GTX... the Apogee GT can be had quite cheaply secondhand though (mine was £15) and is only out performed by a few C.

I'll post some pictures up of it all later on, however I have to say I think it looks rather good!

I take back that it looks good, I think it looks messy!!

When you look at the photos you'll notice I've put a T in so that I can have a fill port!

What do you think guys?

Btw if anyone has a spare fillport I'll take it off your hands gladly :p

If you want a Colour photo then just ask :)

Thanks for looking,

Matt.
 
Colour deffinatly!

It does look messy though, and that rad isn't going to be of much use with that pipe trailing ;)

Once it's fully plumbed in though, it should be neater.

for his CPU block by the looks of it ;)

I know :p

As there is also a pipe trailing from the pump. Which is one of the things that makes it look messy, those pipes will be up on the CPU and so out of the way, will be neater.

Don't forget though, you've added more stuff to the case, so ofcourse it will be more crowded and so more messy.

The res as you have it is doing nothing with the t-line in place except adding extra restriction to the loop.

When I had mine I mounted it with some brackets and zip ties beside the PCI slots :

Only problem with having it next to the PCI slots is that I'll have to remove my 120mm fan.

Could you explain to me aswell how it is restricting the loop as I am a noob and need to learn :)

Thanks,

Matt.

well, its creating more of a loop, and the barbs restrict water flow, but i wouldn't worry, it wont be by a huge difference, and i dont see how the T-line will make the res useless, as the res comes before it in the loop :confused:

he could always buy a valve and shut it off when the loop is filled :p
 
Thanks a lot!

How much would a valve set me back?

Here's the colour pictures which were requested!

I think BW and makes it look more messy :rolleyes:

If you see anything which should be changed and will look better then please do say so. As I said before this is my first w/c setup. So all constructive critism welcome!

Thanks,

Matt.
 
Personally I'd turn the pump round so that the pipe coming out the end is poiting to the back of the case, should enable you to tidy the case a bit aswell.

which way have you got your fans going either side of the rad at the front there? is it me being stupid or is the one next to the pump in the pic set to exhast air out the front? I'd have cool air coming in through the rad myself. But then I could be hideously wrong, as I often am.....

PK!
 
My case is an older Lian-Li similar to a PC-7, the Eclipse is wider wouldn't have thought it would be a problem, space it a bit further away from the fan if required.

The t-line replaces the res as the filling / bleed point, thus the res is redundant.

Generally speaking everything added restricts the loop, that res has 90 degree bends each slowing down the flow as the water hits the surface - changing direction and loosing speed.

the res also serves to remove bubbles from the loop, which can be done almost as well with a fillport/t-line i agree, but it certainly doesn't make it redundant :p
