Project: World of Warships

Awesome work on the anchor! it would look amazing if you could some way have a front mounted res and have that stuck on it?

not sure how that would work or if it was even possible?

You must read minds, that was what Tim at Diamond Cooling and I discussed. He has a bigger imagination than me, but it would have maybe given me the watery reflection affect I wanted to project onto the front face.

It might still happen just not as soon as I'd like it to have been, hopefully I can secure my job and then have the funds to add the water cooling.
 
wow this is going to look fantastic!
sorry i only just got round to looking over this log,
you've been very active on my logs & I feel bad that this is the 1st time iv seen this :(

That anchor looks great BTW,

sent you a PM about the watercooling.

Thanks for coming to look and I really appreciate your email so many nice people here willing to help others. Great bunch.

I have confirmed something very special with Diamond Cooling but Tim and James are very busy getting ready to have some things to show you so I'm going to be very lucky. My preorder is in and some small details to finalise once fabrication is ready.
In other news I've tried to source a custom airbrush artist but he doesn't want to return my emails which is a shame as his work is immense. I also sold some shares recently that did rather well so this means funds are available to get this moving again.
Plan will be to do just cool the cpu first and get the loop done. The GPUs cooling will have to wait a bit longer until the blocks are ready.

I do have some pics of the lighting but I forgot to upload them to my imgur account. Thanks for being patient....!

Thats all fantastic news (apart from the airbrush guy) puts a smile on my face when I see good things happening to good people :D

I have some airbrush gear, done some motorbike helmets in the past & other smaller things.
nothing super hard or amazing though, this is why id like to do a case build next, so I can see what if any skills I have with the airbrush lol

Oh, come to think of it, my next project wont be PC related, wanting to make my own "wall of armor" for my Ironman set.
going to try anyway lol

Thanks for looking.

I haven't been totally idle while I'm at sea either,

I found a good site all about polishing and supplies. I went away and started polishing a piece of aluminium (See image) we had here in the engine room and I was kinda stuck as we have nothing higher than 200 grit but the brasso helped. I want to get a very high finish on my anchor without too many scratches.

Anyway great site that even does polishing kits. I'll be ordering the Aluminium polish kit including the bench grinder as I will be able to use this again for the copper elements I'm doing in future (ops did I give something away.... ;) )

Some wee scratches still but that was caused by the fine file clogging before polishing. I reckon I could have done a better job if someone hadn't thrown away the spare porthole glass that I had kept for lapping. Very mad about that.

Wow that's pretty cool, I love that you're custom making the symbol, that just makes it so much more personal and awesome.

I'm just putting together my 1st real system, and thought I was adventurous to go for water cooling, an AIO at that! So yeah, mad props for really making it yours.

As a side, how is the game? My MB came with a 15 day code for the WoWarships game...

Thanks for the comments, stick some pictures of yours up on the forums we all start somewhere. Nice that you mention props, I have found a way to maybe add them to the build in an interesting way. Will be ordering something to try out and see if its going to work.

I love the game tbh, its the only thing I play these days. There is a thread over on the PC Games subforum.
Its not everyone's cup of tea but what's not to like firing big guns and navigating warships?? :D
I'm guessing you bought an Asus Z170 board and got the code, right or wrong?
