Project Radster - Case Labs S8

Bart_Hunt · 27 Feb 2014 at 21:43

I think we may have a few people who actually said they have CL case.
I know someone had a project log with STH10. Think it was called 'Project Bloodfang', but didn't see any updates for a while.

Looking forward to seeing a case labs build

Bart_Hunt · 27 Feb 2014 at 23:26

Looks like I may need to change the list of things to buy, a little.
I will be playing ESO with some friends and looks like I have strongest PC, means I'll be frapsing a lot. I tried it a bit this week and the amount of space it takes is huge.
So plan for March is bigger storage

Probably 2 3TB caviar green's, I think I can run them in raid as well.
And my mobo have mSATA port, so I'd add the ssd there to run OS.
And I already spoke with davido_labido about the cable sleeving so that will eat up most of my money in March.

Out of interest how much was the case?

Bart_Hunt · 28 Feb 2014 at 03:00

There was pre-order bonus, -40$, so including delivery 540$, thats 350£.
But mine have some bonus options.
The most basic one would cost you around 460$, including delivery, but that's without front rad mount, side rad mount, windows or custom color or accessories, like mounting system for 5.25" devices.
Its best to check at their site:

Blimey, no expense spared here, looking very forward to the end result

That tubing looks immense! I always prefer the builds with rigid tubing, must be a pita to bend though?!

Bart_Hunt · 28 Feb 2014 at 10:31

I am not sure yet, whether I am going to bend it or use angled connections.
First would be cheaper, but I feel a bit uneasy/unsure if they are going to be solid enough to withstand the water pressure.
I really wouldn't want to have a leak over 2k£ worth of components /touch wood

Have not done the bending on this tubing myself, but if you look online think you will find that many have done it ok, with no problems. Some are running two D5 pumps in serial so, you should be ok.

I understand your trepidation though - a potential big loss if it fails and water everywhere, but to be honest that is always a risk with any type of watercooling, but if done correctly - should be ok.

Good luck

Ps Looks like Monday for the case delivery then?????

Bart_Hunt · 28 Feb 2014 at 19:40

It looks like Monday, I think

Last update on tracking was yesterday 9pm in Indianapolis, which is 2/3 way across the States. By now it should be already on the plane to UK. Or so I hope.

For the tubing have you checked this out:

Looks like a great piece of kit comes with all the tools you will need for your tubing with angles on the bending tools to help, not sure about availability.

Bart_Hunt · 28 Feb 2014 at 21:17

Seen it ages ago, but I don't think I'll buy it.
Its 50£ I can spend on something else. Another hdd for example.
Or Edifier speakers. There are other ways to make angles

Beer bottle comes to mind.

Drinking on the job

Bart_Hunt · 28 Feb 2014 at 22:21

Who sais I am drinking?

I don't need to open the bottle or I can use already empty one.

colinmcr · 1 Mar 2014 at 04:02

We'll know if you were drinking while bending as the results will be a beer bottle as the new res

Bart_Hunt · 1 Mar 2014 at 04:35

This won't do.
I am polish, you wouldn't notice I was drinking until I reach my 3rd or 4th 4 pack of guiness

16 bottles won't fit inside S8.
