Project Crystal Madness - A project for the ages (big images)

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Streaming Schedule
All days from 18-22 GMT +2 on http://www.twitch.tv/oddscrazystuff

I will most likely stream more on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, so follow the channel if you want to catch me outside schedule.

Schedule is only valid until Dreamhack Winter (Cut off 23 November).

I got tired of sleeving, so time to do some water blocks instead.

Did the monoblock today, plan on doing RAM blocks tomorrow and GPU when the back plate arrives.

Then I will most likely sleeve the 24 pin on Sunday and/or mount some of the radiators, depending on how things are going.

Only thing lacking is to separate these 2, so I can keep the IO cover.

[OddsCrazyStuff]

This motherboard will look full when its all done. Only things missing are the IO shroud and thicker thermal pads for the RAM blocks, plus GPU of course.

Only "problem" right now, is that it will be very red, as the 3 top block are red. Will have to look into that once things are getting put into the case.

The radiators are starting to get there final look, but need some more cable management.

 

And I'm about half way done with the 24-pin, so things are getting there.

38 days left and after at most 8 days more, so should all sleeving be done.

Then another week with tubing and I got about 20 days to make crystals.

Assuming everything goes as planned.

Now the fans matches the color scheme even more.

And no, I'm not sponsored by EK, it just made sense to use the EK logo on an EK fan. Specially since a crystal was hard to do.

The LEDs are now working, but I havent found a good pattern to put them on yet, so video will come later.

Dreamhack has a case mod comp? Any prizes?

The one time I was their I saw a couple on stage with some shit computers winning stuff. The main winner had a cardboard box case I think.

Its a bit more prices this time around, 20 000 SEK or 6 500 SEK for first place, depending on which class you are competing in.

Nice... 64 applicants only for the open though. I can camp their. I don't want to sit dreamhack cause too many kids though.

Good luck. judging from the summer winners you should have no problem.

I know someone that works at elmia maybe I can talk to her...

I doubt there are that many that are going to Dreamhack for the casemod competition, since its so new, so getting in should not be a problem.

Maybe a little to get into the Championship class, but should be guarantied to get into open class.

 

And I think the summer winners are not representative for what I will be facing, since that seemed to be more "whoever happened to be at Dreamhack" kind of competition.

Those crystals look awesome. Good to see you're making progress on the build. Looks great so far can't wait for the next update

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Just a quick Vlog to get people a little more up to speed:

[OddsCrazyStuff]

When stream starts tonight, so will I post the system for the first time.

The result will determine the future of this project, so please turn in if interested.

 

I still start up at 18 GMT +2 on http://www.twitch.tv/oddscrazystuff

Dont know how long I will spend getting everything hocked up right, so no guaranties for when I will do the actual post.

[OddsCrazyStuff]

The system posts, so then its full speed ahead with hard tubing.

Will most likely be doing that for the rest of the week.

Another Vlog update.

Couldn't you make the runs a little.. well, cleaner? As in, the one going from the right RAM block to the uniblock port could be 3 right angles. Great build so far nonetheless

The point is to not do that, as almost every single build out there aims for clean runs.

Your accent is almost as awesome as your build.
