PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

I'll be honest, it can be a pain. I've yet to do a wc build when at some point I've thought "why do I bother". The end results make it worth it though :)
 
Nope, a few c at best, better off just buying a top end single set of fans like gentle typhoon or the new corsair sp120 fans which are becoming popular in wc circles.

Fan choices are less strict the more rad you have, quite certain I could run my loop fully passive :)
 
^Not a clue tbh, I haven't used them I'm only going from recommendations from others, I know what you mean though, the fans I'm using in this build unfortunately don't have a fully flat/square face either. Nothing a gasket wouldn't solve though I suppose.

If you're adding lots and lots of rads, it really doesn't matter what fans you choose though ;)

I'd find it really hard to part with ~£15 per fan for GT's though :(
 
I have the sp120's and gt's they both shift a lot of air, but above 1000rpm the sp's dont sound great compared to the gt's. just wish the GT's looked a bit better!
My ideal fan would be the performance/noise of the GT's and the looks of the corsair.

So paul hows the build coming along? Did i read correctly that saturday should be the grand switch on??
 
Saturday is when its penned in, I've tripple checked the remaining components and parts to put in, everything looks spot on, I have enough of everything anyhow.

As it stands at the moment, everything is removed from the case apart from the rads and PSU as I still have a little cable management to sort out, offending motherboard standoffs have been removed too.

I hate the tension of a first time turn on, especially as i know everything was working before I started :p
 
Oh I will :D

I think I've finally figured out the switch wiring too. I'll get the last of the cables in tonight provided I stay awake :o

Early start tomorrow, I want to be drinking beer and playing Borderlands 2 by 6pm :D
 
More like a long week :o

Its not so much tiredness its more the stiff back and numb hands from wrestling big transformers (not the good autobot kind!) all week, I feel 46 not 26. I'd get some fitness tips from 8 Pack, but I'm quite happy with the drinking/smoking/passing out routine, at least for now :o

Can't WAIT to get this up and running tomorrow, though my track record tells me something WILL be broken :(

Click to expand...

You only 26? you come across as being older :) fair play to you.
 
i assumed you were in mid thirties tbh, you seem very mature judging by how you post on this forum.

i work in electrical distribution, on 132 down to 33kv only an apprentice however.

whens the next update coming on this?
 
Tomorrow, big updates all day long :D

We usually only do as big as 30kv dist boards, anything bigger is crosshired in, deal more with the atex side of electricals. Apprenticeships are the way to go, especially in electricals, get your 17th edition, level 3 nvq and compex and you'll be smashing the £35k/year mark in no time :cool: served my time in the airforce, set me up tbh :)

Just doing a spot of tube planning before I get some kip.
 
So paul hows it going, any updates?? I hope you were up bright and early!
My psu should be here in about half an hour, so once i have checked the system is ok, i gotta start cable management all over again, the worse part of any build :(
 
Yep I despise cable management but it must be done!!

I am up, I don't know about bright though, post office, burger king, asda for beer then get at it :D
