Here we go folks ...

i think it´s time to start a little bit in here. :-)

I even promised to some OcUK guys to post pictures as soon as i rebuild my rig.

If you got any questions just ask.

Right now i start with sleeving the PSU .... For those who don´t know how to do here you got my tutorial vids.

Prepare to fight, here are all contestants:

First cut the shrink to same size, then i start sleeving.

These should be enough ... all 20 mm

Just a short shot within the sleeving ... pro tip: never watch television while sleeving, it takes longer. :rolleyes:

Already did the 8-Pin cable too. Now going to Olympiastadion, so continuing in the evening. Did put some extra information in the first post.

nice guide on the braiding slame.

im also just about to start braiding my 1000 watt psu and have been looking at some of these tool's you use.

they look very very good at removing the pins and make light work of the process.

cant wait to see the next update

I once created them and they are sold via Caseking. ModMyMachine is me. There are cheaper ones on the market though, but Nothing beats Made In Germany (or UK) ;-)

CK-Slame · 3 Mar 2012 at 22:36

Don´t know. Honestly people tend to buy the cheaper ones as they usually use them for one PSU only.

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 11:38

Finished the PSU ... 20m of each colour btw.

now preparing the board and the silver waterblocks. First some polishing.

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 12:58

board with CPU, NB and mosfet coolers.

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 13:23

Board mounted on mobo tray with aquaero LT attached at the ventilation slots.

I already precabled for the fans

one closeup shot of the Cuplex .. need to shoot more straight :-)

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 13:30

I agree with the products.

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 13:48

graphics card, network card and TV card mounted and tubing done

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 14:34

So ... bigger update, then i have lunch.

This my front ... the lower part will be cut today, so that the rad on pic 2 will get fresh air. The original front bezel is going to get CNC cut and is already at a friends.

But as you can see. The 240 rad fits exactly in the V351. But it really is up to a mm.

The small supporting rad will be where the 80mm fan is in the back. Did my own bezel there, so i can put tubing through it.

In the floor some more fan support when on lan party.

The pump is sited in the front. Behing you find the place for the Gigabit switch. I did cut out the 5,25 drive bays on the left side for this as you can see on pic 2. Pic 3 shows the mounting of the switch.

The switch himself with new wiring, as i am using the PSU of my rig for power.

DVD drive with stealth mod.

All the other drives ...

The tools are for sale in the Caseking store and we send to UK.

operation fresh air accomplished

CK-Slame · 4 Mar 2012 at 19:11

Going to take a break. I am missing like 1 m of black tubing. :-(

Let´s see how quick i get that to continue.

Cheers

Wow I'm really liking how this is turning out.

One question though, you mention that those waterblocks are "silver". Are they actually silver or coated copper?

They are really silver 925 Sterling. This is a special edition aqua computer does on all their cooling blocks. Don´t ask for the price, but i really got them cheap on *no mentions of competitors*. :-)

CK-Slame · 6 Mar 2012 at 21:10

wow ** Hidden competitor hinting is also forbidden ** as a name is forbidden ? :cool:

actually those silver coolers are a bit better, but not that much as you might think. I´ll post temps anyway.

small Bling Bling update ...

first of all i mounted some white LED under the floor.

Awfully they had special connectors, but when i looked closely they had the same like fans .. here we go

Took the old ones off and wired them through the ventilation holes in the floor.

Then some UV cold cathodes 10 cm.

The inverter comes behind the 5,25" bezel in front of the HDD.

CK-Slame · 6 Mar 2012 at 21:18

Thanks ..

it´s a Canon 60D. Love it, but didnt´t take much effort in the pix so far. Wait till i do the Photoshooting in the end. :-)

Edith says you probably saw it when i was at OcUK.

I did, it was gorgeous

Why didn´t you say ? Could have tried it for a day.

CK-Slame · 10 Mar 2012 at 13:52

Here we go for the next update

Pump power cable was too long ... so shortened it. The LED bands will be connected to the fan connector of the pump later

The front not cleanly wired yet. Still waiting for the front bezel. :-(

Front buttons haven´t been sleeved yet ...

BTW ... this is the back bezel which i did for the rad.

Here a shot from the right side everthing tubed and wired, except power cables.

and the left side.
