Watercooling goodness :D

[TB-303]

That looks great nice work!

[BCMods]

I may have just ordered 3 of these :D

[BCMods]

Thanks 909303 :)

Did some overclocking on the 7950. Temps are around 75c when stressed and the stock cooler makes it sound like a leaf blower. Need to get it underwater soon...

[BCMods]

Not really anything that interesting today as all I did was put my hardware into the case :p

Look what TNT brought me!


A few extras that were included with the case


Mystery bag


This is where a photo of the case would go, if I had remembered to take one...

Nice and simple HDD mounting. Simply slots into place :)




Motherboard in


GPU installed


This is one of the only issues I had with the case but it's still an extremely annoying one. Since the plastic above the PCI slots is directly in line with the hold-down screws, you have to remove the entire back panel and pull back the metal mounting plate to get the screws in... A PITA, to say the least.


Cable monster


Tidied up and hidden


Windowed side panel back on with everything installed :D


Installed the rubber case feet


Watercooling goodness coming soon!

[BCMods]

Got a fantastic deal on this drive, also fits the theme really well so i'll have to find somewhere to put it on display!

[BCMods]

Apologies for the lack of updates, I've been really busy with tying up loose ends with coursework. Only a few weeks left of college and then I can get the watercooling side of things done! :)

Mystery keyboard!




GPU waterblock




New case idea? ;)


D5 cables cut down and sleeved


Pump mounting holes drilled


Pump installed into the case floor


Mounted within the cable monster


Made up an LCD water temperature sensor!


Getting ready to cut


LCD installed


Also added a fill port whilst I was at it :p

[Dacho]

[Marc030]

Looks really great, love the color combination!

[BCMods]

Wow, thanks a lot for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it :)

 

A load of the watercooling bits got shipped out today so lots of updates coming soon :D

[_The_Petes]

This build is sooooo epic! Not too many G1 M3 builds out there. Soooooooo sick bro!

[j1philli]

Yes. Just yes!

[Guest]

Really nice Build but, 3-Monitors and a 7950? why didn't you go with a 7990,7970.690,Titan?

[DoctorNick]

Awesome build! Love the case  :D

[RFM-PC]

Absolutely amazing build, love the fact that you just got 3 of those LG's when I am almost done saving up for 1 :(

[skullbringer]

Looking awesome. I thought the mainboard is mounted on the bottom of the case and the window is on top, so that you can see in it when it stands on the floor, in the first place. But then I realized mainboard and window are mounted on the sides. Looks epic anyways.

[bradscoolio]

Aww man! Loving the case :D

[BCMods]

Thanks a lot everyone! Most of my watercooling bits arrived this week, I'm just waiting for EK to hurry up and send out some more 7950 backplates since all UK distributors are out of stock.

 

Really nice Build but, 3-Monitors and a 7950? why didn't you go with a 7990,7970.690,Titan?

 

I don't really game on the 3 monitors, only not very demanding ones such as Minecraft.

 

Also, I'm 16, a Titan isn't exactly something I can afford :p I may get a second 7950 at some point in the future, although I expect next gen cards will be out by then.
