I prefer spoilerless posts, I'd rather scroll than click on spoiler

buttons all the time. :D

 Yeah, but do you like scrolling on and on forever just to see pics? :D

180mm fans on a 200mm res? interesting choice...

 

My 180mm dual was a monster @ 45mm thick. That must be exceptionally imposing.

 

I can imagine the conversation with your wife if it's anything like they are with mine...

"look at it! LOOK AT IT!"

"....."

"...you don't understand..."

"..... " *walks away*

Oh all of y'all with your wives while i'm sitting here wondering how the hell you guys get wives in the first place. lol.

Hahaha. That is a "conversation" that I have had with my wife many times.. :P

MUHUAUHAHAHAHAA

Well there is a table of contents now hyperlinked to the actual post. You can now skip all of the "fluff" and "waffling" ;)

 

Oh all of y'all with your wives while i'm sitting here wondering how the hell you guys get wives in the first place. lol.

I wonder the same thing every day Gilbert..

 

Forgot to say; Jesus that rad is HUGE Think you have enough surface area to cool the entire rig?

Well I hope so. A regular 360 rad gives 1296000mm (360x120x30mm) whilst this rad gives 6800000 (400x200x85mm). If I have read correctly, I could in theory passively cool the entire loop.

 

well, that is a giant rad. This is going to be one awesome build!

Thanks mate. I am still  shocked with it's size!

 

Cool, I might consider putting it into my sleeper build, will be a good upgrade to not only cool the cards, but increase the free air space in my case too haha.

I would like to see the progress. Make sure to link me when/if you do it :)

 

dat rad 

:3

 

Hopefully some pictures will be posted up of the painted case panels today. Stay tuned :D

Uhm, yes, that's why I'm in the build log section in the first place. :D

Hey guys! 

 

I don't have so much of a big update but rather that I have just finished painting the panels in a matt carbon black colour. The reason why I have done this is because the anodizing was sun damaged and started to turn a gold/pink colour. So I just gave all of the panels a nice sanding, thorough clean then a few coats of the paint, and finally a clear coat. 

They turned out very nice :)

In other news, I went to the hardware store to get the U-profile aluminium, but the stores' personnel could not find it. I have one on back order, and it should arrive in a few days. I also ordered the ASUS Armor Kit for the Z87 Gryphon motherboard today, and that too should arrive this week.

 

That is it from me for now. Take care :D

Justin.

newbie question

just mounting the rad there 

Well personally I think it is easy... I am going to use some aluminium u-channel and drill holes in both ends. I will tap one side with the size M3, with the other side having slightly larger. The side with the larger holes will sit between the rad and fans, with the fans screws holding the u-channel in place. The sides with the tapped holes will be attached to the case back panel with M3 screws. The tricky thing is to get the drilled holes to line up. Nothing really fancy I reckon.

 

oh yeah the computers pretty cool too.

Haha, thanks :)

MetallicAcid's FT03 Project

 

 

FT03header_zps9c1bc470.jpg

 

 

Hello guys and girls of modding and welcome to my project build log!

The introduction

I am about to kick off another project that I have been designing for roughly 2 months now. I have this perfect opportunity to work on this project whilst I wait for PC components to come in for my ongoing black and gold Silverstone TJ07 project. The TJ07 project has been put on hold for 2 months, so the end of July is my deadline to finish this Silverstone FT03 project. This will be my fourth project since May 2013.

The project

This project is primarily a simple upgrade for my personal gaming rig, to turn it more into a design capable PC with boosted CPU power and looks to kill. This PC will have an upgraded CPU coming from an i5 2500k to an i7 4770k. I will also have a fully upgraded watercooling loop which will also include the GPU this time. The radiator will be no less than an 85mm thick MONSTA Phobya 400x200mm radiator sitting on the back of the FT03 case like a backpack of sorts. lastly, this project will feature aluminium "armour" panels to give it a unique look and make the external rad tie into the overall design.

The hardware

Intel Core i7 4770K

ASUS Gryphon Z87 mATX

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2133mhz

Samsung 840 Pro 512GB

ASUS Geforce GTX780 3GB

Corsair AX850w

Silverstone Fortress FT03

Custom watercooled loog

FT0366_zps2a9231d8.jpg

FT0367_zpsfc3cd2f8.jpg

The conclusion

So to round things up, this project is going to be (hopefully) short and sweet. The custom aluminium panels I will have CNC milled as I have learnt a CAD program and created all the necessary files. All of the hardware I already own and am currently running as of writing this first post. And lastly I have had a great time designing this project first in SketchUp and learning a professional CAD software (Autodesk Inventor). I can safely say that modding is my passion, and I really hope to make it my profession!

The sponsors

I would like to thank Aquatuning.se for sponsoring the following items to help make this project become more than renders and 3D models:

12170726944l_zpsdb144430.jpg

Phobya Xtreme 400

Phobya G-Silent 18 700rpm Slim black

Vandal proof Power button 16mm White

Alphacool bulkhead fitting G1/4 - deep black

Phobya ATX-bridging plug (24 Pin) - black

The update index

Update 1 - Aquatuning sponsors the project with watercooling

Thank you for your interest in my build log, and I hope that you choose to subscribe and follow this project. Take care.

One more thing, how are you going to plug anything to the back i/o when it is going to be covered like that? Is there a latch or door up there?

Touching the rad shouldn't damage any components.

It's isolated from the components and grounded on the chassis once it's in place
