I agree, we get to see the pictures faster.

Ok, I picked it up Yesterday as I finished early. Now, its actually all built now but not leak tested yet. But the missus has me on another chore at present so its on the back burner for 24hours.

But here's some teasers.

_lecro_ · 30 Jul 2010 at 22:05

Looking shiny should be awesome when its done m8

timciren · 30 Jul 2010 at 22:43

you got the ali 5.25 fronts sprayed ok ?

Eclectic · 30 Jul 2010 at 23:13

Thanks for the kind comments fella's

TimCiren, Yes mate, they done those "wet", how that goes with powder coating I'm not sure. But in the following pic youll see them in the middle.

looks amazing m8

perry081064 · 31 Jul 2010 at 10:44

nice deep red colour
... and the dog is guarding it well too

Eclectic · 31 Jul 2010 at 11:51

Yeah, color looks great, even better in the flesh. As for me dag guarding it, all she wanted to do was trample all over it! haha.

But its leak testing now, took over a litre to fill though!

Hardly recognise my old 800d

keep the pictures coming!

Cheers

Hi mate, yeah, shes about finished. Just waiting on the grill now.

But heres the last pic Ill take of it leak testing. I had a break from decorating to fiddle with the fans and see their noise level flat out. Also to play with lighting.

Eclectic · 1 Aug 2010 at 20:59

Well, she's all built and Im posting from it now. All that Im waiting for is the grill to cover the top cut. But here it is for now.

perry081064 · 1 Aug 2010 at 21:18

thats awesome gratz

..if you dont mind me saying tho, just to complete it, perhaps some braiding on the power and gpu leads ?

...of course, you can just tell me to shut up

well done mate.

Looks amazing

The only thing I would do to it now is make the DVD drive have a red face plate

Eclectic · 1 Aug 2010 at 22:49

Perry, I feel ya, the annoying thing is, with the Antec True Power Quattro, they braided the cables uptil about 2" from the end.

Which is annoying, I guess I could just heat shrink the last 2".

Mattjd, Ive been looking at those LianLi stealth drive bays. Get one of those powder coated and Ill be away.

Thanks fella's

_lecro_ · 1 Aug 2010 at 22:52

Truly epic D800 m8 well done,
only thing i might change would be the tubing, maybe black
And as perry says a bit of braiding

perry081064 · 2 Aug 2010 at 00:45

...or if you really need to hide the wires , how about the extensions ?

Builds looking good pal, but your graphics card is hanging at a crazy angle.

Best get that propped up with something, it's a common thing I've seen on here. The cards are designed with the stock cooler on, which is light and uses the IO backplate to provide support for the rest of the card. When you put a watercooling block on though, there is no support and it's much heavier, so bends the card down more and puts more strain on the PCI socket.

+1 !

I weighed my GPU, on air it weighed 1000g, 830g fan, 270g card, the waterblock is 830g aswell so no change, but yours is looking a bit phished

time to play now !
