I don't think I've been 'out' with friends for around 2 years I've only had a few beers since I turned 18 over a year ago, it just doesn't appeal to me. Computers and anime are much better. Speaking of which, I'm planning on getting an external RAID enclosure and using the hard drives I get from my dad to store as much anime as I can. 

It's usually once or twice per 3 - 5 months for me. I had a shot about 2 weeks ago, but before that I haven't had a drink in at least 3 years. 

Sounds like a plan, I wish I didn't have to go and buy hard drives when I needed more space. lol....

Can't wait to see the completed project ^^

Thanks. Should be buying a few more watercooling parts this week, but I'm moving soon and have a load of bills coming up so I'm short on money ):

Sorry if someone has asked this before, but why is the back fan an intake?

I have a back fan as intake in my prodigy.

Because why not positive air pressure?

 

Optimal radiator cooling efficiency with this set up.

Positive air pressure and also supplying more fresh air to the top rad. I'll have to see how it works, I might switch it to exhaust depending on how well it does.

You need to add a warning in your title that you'll mess your pants when you see the build.

Haha, it's not even close to done Next thing I'm planning on getting sorted is the SSD mounting plate.

Its builds like yours that somehow make me feel bad about my GTX780.   Either way the warning should be about objectophilia now. 

[Thebman712]

Just an idea. I've been looking at different SSDs, and a lot of the ones I like the look of have their connectors on the right hand side (like PNY SSDs and 840 EVOs), meaning I can't mount them in my 750D without turning them upside down. I was thinking of removing the mounts and drive cage, then creating a plate to mount them on. 

 

Just a really quick sketch up, let me know what you think. 

 

what about having them with connectors to the front then adapting your sata cable to how you need it

What do you mean by having them to the front? Also by adapting the cables?

put the connectors towards the front of the 750d on the ssds, then having a hole near the front to run the sata cables through, i think i was blabing out of my ass for the cables part though

The connectors are near the front. Having a single hole to run the cables through will look a little messy I think, I want to  see as little of the cables as possible. 

 

This is going to the right of the motherboard. The SSDs will be mounted in the same location as the existing mounts, only with the connectors facing the front of the case so that the SSDs are the right way up. I'll be using right angled sata cables, so it should be pretty clean.

yeah, that would work, i saw that after i made my first post, i look forward to seeing more

Thanks. I'm short on money at the moment, so I can't do too much right now. I've got the measurements for the plate and everything, just need to wait until I get paid to send the design to a laser cutting place.

jesus, lazer cutting, and here i am scraping money for a ssd and new case

Little update:

 

Just ordered a few new parts from Scan. Only £1 more to get it delivered on Saturday rather than Monday, I love Scan (: 

 

The first three items are pretty boring really, but the pump and pump cover are much more interesting. I'll take pictures of the pump when it arrives, then pictures after I've installed the cover kit too. Might have to angle the pump slightly so that the nickel cover is in view. Also, I'll be sleeving the pump cables, but I've lost all of the paracord I had, so I'll have to order some more unless I can find it again. (seriously no idea where it is)

 

Note: The internal tube says preorder, but this is actually taken after I ordered them. The invoice I got didn't have pictures, so I just went and added them to the basket again. Hopefully the tube will come with everything else.

 

[Oshino Shinobu]

New parts came!

 

I only took pictures of the pump because the other parts are all pretty boring on their own. 

 

 

 

Back of the pump looks awful like this ): Let's put on the cover.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm going to sleeve the cables in black paracord, but I've lost all of mine (spent 2 hours looking for it) so I've had to buy some more. Hopefully it'll come by Tuesday.

now that'll be a sexy pump.

[Oshino Shinobu]

So, as I said in my last post, I lost my paracord. I spent ages searching for it, but gave up and ordered some more. The day after I order it, I find the paracord I already had -.- I'm going to have enough to do two full PSUs now. 

 

Anyway, pump sleeving is underway and pictures will be up in an hour or so. 

[Oshino Shinobu]

Sleeving done!

 

Had to use heatshrink to get the cables to stay, would've preferred to do it without though. Either way, looks better than the normal wires on their own. 

 

 

[Oshino Shinobu]

Decided to sleeve my spare 8 pin cable while I had all of my sleeving stuff around. I've seen more and more boards using two 8 pin connectors, so I might be needing it if I decide to switch to Haswell-E in the future.

I really like the sleeving without the heat shrink, good job.

I am waiting to see this build done.
