My eyes they burn..... So beautifull

BTW what colour of coolant are you gone use?

[pastafingers]

Using Noctua fans would be awesome for this build IMHO

haha thanks man, better go use some eye drops lol, I plan on using white coolant, I am also painting the tubing copper with a pattern left out/ hard to explain but you'll see in the next update =D

I have had a few people mention that, the thing is they are not quite close enough of a match, I would have to paint them. Not quite sure what fans to use, thinking of maybe noiseblocker e-loops.

That's why i love FB early updates

Yep!! That's why I share my Facebook modding page in every update in case people want to follow the project on a daily basis =D Some like the suspense of waiting for a bunch of work to come in on the forums, some like to see the little by little every day, comes down to personal preference, I like to offer both =D

Hey there everyone! Very exciting news for the build, Swiftech has jumped on board and sponsored the build with the rest of the watercooling parts I needed!

 

 

Very excited, things are just getting better and better! Now I can afford to put 2x 780s in the build and I will cool them with the Komodo blocks!

 

I delayed the update 2 days waiting on some parts to arrive to photo out and add into the update. I Also recieved my prizes from my article in Custom PC magazine, one of those prizes being 2x 256gb solid state drives from Corsair, which I will be using in this build in Raid 0.

 

Another item in is my Asus z97 Sabertooth board which is absolutely awesome! I wanted a solid motherboard that is good for modding and this one is the best of both worlds! The main modding I did was on my power supply for this update, my case is tore down and I am doing another round of details as I build it up, so the next update will be a lot of that.

 

Before I get ahead of myself lets start the update! First thing first thank you very much to all of my sponsors, you guys are awesome! Very grateful to be where I am today!

 

 

Okay here are the parts that came in Ill start with the Swiftech goodies!

 

 

 

First the radiators, a dual and triple 120mm. The dual is for the front under the bay waterfall and the triple is for the ceiling exhaust. These will be painted copper.

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is this beautiful CPU block, the Apogee XL, right now this has got to be the best looking CPU block on the market, that is my opinion. I chose the clear acrylic, and Ill be modding it white and copper with the white LED.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love this =D 

 

 

 

Now the new Komodo-NV GPU blocks! These boys are very clean with an industrial feel! There is an LED panel inside with removable filters for the colors. I didnt mess with that yet, I will have in depth more detailed photos of the hardware again when I do the modding on all of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The backplate, another toy to mod! 

 

 

 

 

Next up is the pump! I am using the MCP35x2. Its the PWM double DDC, I figured I need at least 2 pumps for good flow through all the hardware and through 2 waterfalls. Also I got the heat sink just incase. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I threw on some pf the Primochill revolvers and took some group photos. SEXY! lol yeah modders like myself are weirdos and find hardware attractive haha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright thats all the parts from Swiftech for now, I took a couple shots of the solid states from Corsair.

 

 

 

 

Alright up next the Asus Z97 Sabertooth! Very rugged PC board, when they say its TUF they mean it!! Just holding it it feels more sturdy than other motherboards that feel fragile when holding it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I held the board up on my IO panel I made.

 

 

 

Okay now that you were properly introduced to the goodies on to the modding of the update! I did quite a bit of work on the Cooler Master V750 Semi-modular Gold Rated power supply. Not only did I paint it to the theme, I also cut the GPU power cable daisy chain jumper off and spliced the cables inside the power supply creating 4 independent 8-pin GPU power plugs.

 

 

First up some sleeving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay here I separated the GPU wires, cut them off, cut them in half, and resoldered them on 2 per lead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what I ended up with.

 

 

 

 

Then I cut the switch cables and power receptacle cables, removed the board and the switches from the case to paint.

 

 

 

 

 

Primed and painted the shell starting with the top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE how the top worked out!

 

 

 

 

The bottom I had to open the wire hole.

 

 

 

 

Then painted and reinstalled the plug and switch.

 

 

 

 

Now the finishing touch is the new V750 on the side since I painted over the original. I cut it out with the scroll saw on 1/16" aluminum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After filing it down I painted it copper, and glued it on the side, now the PSU mod is complete and I think it lokos pretty damn good. I got a couple paint smudges but I have touch up paint to cover up and you can barely tell. The side of the PSU with the V750 on it will be seen through a clear acrylic window in the bottom case middle panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well that is all I have for this update! I am days away from finishing my CNC which has been stealing a little modding time from me. I need to install my limit switches, bolt down the table top, fill the spindle loop, and wire the spindle and I should be wrapped up on that for the time being and I can go full blast on this Cyprus build. Glad to finish as there are some cool ideas I have for this build that I can make on the CNC. Also don't forget catch daily updates on my Facebook page Clockwerk Case Mods if you would like. I Share my daily work there and recently started taking a couple daily modding photos and sharing them on Instagram, my handle is orangeclockwerk on instagram. I am also trying to get things going on Twitter where I also go by @OrangeClockwerk. Well thats all now! Until next time, you know where to find me!

Thanks for the kind words Fuzz Master Fresh! Im trying to get good at photos but I think I need a better lens, I would say I am at about 75% with this ones 3 outta 4 are good photos. its a 20mm-50mm. I have the most trouble when I want to take a broad shot and have the whole photo in focus. It also seems like sometimes the focus just goes where it wants. I also have no clue how to properly adjust the functions. I really just wing it and snap a shot when it looks good. I know when I take my time my chance of a good shot goes up but I am rushed when doing my logs because I take a lot photos. I like to document my build almost like a shorthand SOP, if you follow my log you can almost rebuild my machine lol Its the engineer in me.

[Kittke]

Wow very nice

I'd liked it even more if the CoolerMaster logo on the PSU was on a whit background.

[enRodjavel]

Looking sweet, gona be having an eye on this

[CookieTheMonsta]

Damn nice job on psu, and all those pics

[OrangeClockwerk]

Thanks! I totally agree, I wish it was like that. The only thing that will be seen in the final case on this power supply is the V750 through a window I'm making in the bottom case mid ane so it really is all just for the sake of not doing anything half ass.

 

Looking sweet, gona be having an eye on this

 

Thanks man! Its coming together!

 

Damn nice job on psu, and all those pics

 

Thanks man! Im practicing my photography, like I said I need a few more lenses but I need about 1200$ to get the 2 I want. All in due time =D

Is it dangerous to take apart a PSU? 

[OrangeClockwerk]

Is it dangerous to take apart a PSU? 

 

It can be because capacitors hold a charge and that is what usually zaps people , I would always check with a volt meter first.

It just keeps getting better and better bro
