Uv clear with orange tubing, the last time I mixed coloured fluid with coloured tubing it looked brown

Did some flushing and a little leak testing today

Phobya Nova 1080, XT360 (XTX360 is in use atm) & Supreme HF Cu getting some warm water from a spare 18w DDC I have:

Radiators could do with a blow out before fitting:

That block, just stunning:

18w DDC with the most retarded top I've ever seen, I had to route the tubing into the fill port as if you use the return line it just pushes air bubbles directly back into the inlet :confused:

:

A final flush with 2.5L of De-Ionised water:

As she sits just now, exposed in a bench table shoved in a cupboard next to the boiler

how much you reckon this build is gonna cost ya altogether?

pgi947 · 17 Feb 2013 at 17:20

At the moment a rough add up is somewhere just under £2000

Ooh a little bit of a low budget dontcha think?

pgi947 · 17 Feb 2013 at 19:45

Don't forget the potential £900 CPU (top line IB-E) that is getting added late on this year, as well as the un-doubted GPU changes (In the last year I've owned around 9 GPU's

).

Plus if Titan doesn't carry an absolutely retarded price tag then I may be moving sooner rather than later

One day I'll have a job... And a build log like this will follow a year later

(I'm not a sponger, I am in college full time

)

pgi947 · 17 Feb 2013 at 20:48

You'll get there bud, I spent 4-5 years with college and apprenticeships

Its all been gradual purchases over the last 8 months or so building up to this point.

I'm really hopeful of at least getting some parts moved over next weekend, but I can't really move anything until I get the Mosfet block for the motherboard, as it would be pointless fitting it to have to remove it again

Edit: this week I WILL be cutting the rear side panel and putting some grommets in for the 1080 tubing

wobbledog · 17 Feb 2013 at 21:16

really looking forward to seeing this built

*Rich* · 18 Feb 2013 at 07:12

Nice pics, the 1080 really is huge when you have a 360 sat on top of it

emberfirejd · 18 Feb 2013 at 08:55

To be honest £2000 isn't that bad

pgi947 · 18 Feb 2013 at 09:37

Nope not at all, if I didn't have a kid on the way I could have easily doubled the budget by moving to hex core and buying an LD case.

Watercooling alone is currently sitting just over the £500 mark.

emberfirejd · 19 Feb 2013 at 11:09

well..you get what you pay for i guess! Will be interesting to see how it all plays out (Y)

Gregster · 19 Feb 2013 at 22:02

Good work on the back plate, very impressed. Now looking forward to the parts going in

Looks like you're on a mission. Look forward to seeing the end results :cool:

Akagi · 19 Feb 2013 at 22:42

Should have got the LD reverse phase change case/cooler

ToxicTBag · 19 Feb 2013 at 22:50

Looking good so far Paul well done looking forward to the updates

pgi947 · 19 Feb 2013 at 22:55

Just waiting on deliveries now guys, hope to have the bulk with me by the weeks end.

Now on a mission to get it all done and benched before titan steals my thunder

*Rich* · 20 Feb 2013 at 07:00

Don't rush it, we'll just ask a mod to ban all titan users until you're finished
