Hey all,
You may know me as JA90 or JA159 on forums and by my last big watercooled build Project Cristal Toxin, and here I'm again with something a bit more crazy for all of you
Project Ultima will be largely sponsored build by 4 part manufacturers and a few local businesses.
And first things first, a big Shout-out and Thanks to all of the sponsors and the biggest of them (for now) are:
1. DOO EKWB
2. Bitspower International Co., Ltd.
3. Cooler Master Technology Inc.
4. Icemodz
5. DOO Potez
Now, the short description of the project
In one sentence, Project Ultima will be a both side wall mounted, enclosed rig with double loop water cooling system, with bent solid acrylic tubing, for all major components.
I know that very small number of people likes to read boring long descriptions, so I present to you screenshots from my Sketchup drawing of the build !
(Don't mind my modeling skills, I'm not a designer and the drawing was made to make my life easier with this complicated build and not everything in this drawing is they way it will be, so stay tuned)
SO LETS GO !
Lets start with a few pics without explanation and I'll explain the details later
So, the details.. The start and reset button will be mounted on the bottom right part of the table, with or on USB 3.0 external hub. Also on that side, custom made headset holder.
From the bottom, you can see the 2 vents (intake and exhaust) for some airflow for the main part of the rig (which will be filtered).
The back side of the wall will accommodate firstly fans and radiators (with drain ports), to get heat and noise out of the computer room (which was the point of the project), and modem, router, NAS, fan controller (or Corsair link) etc.
Don't mind the red lines, they are power lines in the wall, so I just marked them to take them in consideration, not to kill myself when I'm drilling.
Bottom part of the main rig area will house PSU, 4 fans (2 intake and 2 exhaust, bottom one's will be a bit faster), all of the cables (custom extensions that will go behind the removable MOBO and SSD's panel) and drain valves for both loops.
Top part of the main rig area will house Custom made reservoirs with fill ports and removable top panel for ease of access.
And finally, the main rig area itself.
Removable panel which will hold the motherboard and 2 or 4 SSD's with custom 45 degree cut plexi "backplates". 2 separate loops, first for CPU, MOBO, RAM, and the second one only for GPU's.
More detail about the rig and all the custom stuff I will do for it will be explained while I post my progress, and one more thing I didn't mention is the configuration of the rig..
For now, the parts I have ready for this rig are:
1. Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5;
2. Intel 4770k;
3. 4x4GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz;
4. 2x MSI 7970;
5. 2x120GB Intel 330series SSDs (I'm waiting for Corsairs confirmation on 2 of GTX Neutron 240GB );
6. Silverstone Strider+ 1000W;
7. Cooler Master Aluminium series peripherals;
8. Corsair fans and link;
9. Lots of EKWB's and Bitspower's blocks, pumps, rads, fittings, tubes, etc.
And that will be it for now, I will start posting my progress shortly (cause I already started working on it) and give me as much feedback as you can, I'll be happy to reply and take in consideration all of your suggestions and comments !
