TV-stand computer case (In progress)

[jollander]

Tubing done! Time to fill her up and test for leaks.

 

 

 

No leaks so far! The air bubbles are making a horrible noise though.

 

 

The coolant foamed up quite a lot and seems to have coalesced in to some gunk. Should I be worried?

[Godlygamer23]

Working now.

Photo worked for me..  looking great !

[That Norwegian Guy]

Heh, this sure is inventive!

[Jokrik]

the foamy thing should be gone by time

if you can control the speed of your pump than put it on low, it would help it gone faster

 

anyway, looking good!

[jollander]

Pretty much everything done. Missing my acrylic windows because of fudged up delivery. Going for a black back window to keep you from seeing all the cables from the tv & speakers. Transparent "doors" on the front so I can open. Keeping my 3D glasses there as well for movie-nights.

 

Combined with Philips Ambilight - LED-lights on the sides of the TV that reflects the colors near the edge of the image - the ambiance is quite pleasing.

I hope you guys enjoyed watching this build. I'll have one final update whenever they manage to send me the acrylic windows but all in all, apart from some minor adjustments with the UV lights, this is it!

 

Thanks

Looks pretty good, mate.

Though I would really, really go with some dust filters one those fans!

[Banana_Molester]

what coolant is that

[Raptus]

Very, very slick. 

[Jokrik]

Looks good! :)

 

are you worried about the dust building on those rad without filter?

[TicTac]

turned out nice awesome job love it !

[jollander]

Thanks for the feedback. I think perhaps filtering the entire bottom half of the front side would be better in the long run for me, to avoid  hassle when cleaning.  Any recommendations?

 

I'm noticing noise issues from my Corsair HX 1050 as well. Any time it is under load the fan goes berserk and it sounds absolutely horrible. Not that great considering it's coming from the centerpiece of my living room.

Anyone know a workaround fix for this?

I've been googling about it and apparently the HX series is kind of known for being loud. Wish I read up a bit more before buying. 

 

The pump and fans are silent. Having stopped all the fans i notice no difference in noise level at all; it's all coming from the PSU.

Amazing build man! I dig it.

Team slick for sure! :D

 

I love the ingenuity of the build and the ideas you've implemented... Much cheaper case, and looks more awesome IMO. :D

Keep up the awesome work!

[Akula]

Nice job, i highly considered a build similar to this for my HTPC setup, but time got the better of me.

[thirdworldking]

maybe you could put acrylic opanels on the back and front and put slits on them and mount fans with filters so theres no dust but you can still see everything dunno just a thought

If you ever have enough time to start such a build - I'd love to see it! Considering this is my first ever loop, I'm sure someone with more experience could have done the same build and ended up with a much nicer product.

Thanks! It's really nice not having a bulky case next to the TV stand as I used to have. And yay #teamslick!

Yeah I'll be using acrylics but I won't be mounting fans to them as I'd have to detach them from my rads, which would be bad.

 

 

 

I forgot to show you guys my custom boot button. I did the wiring with some sleeved cables going under the mobo tray. The button itself has this awesome Tron look about it and is hidden behind the TV / Speakers so you have to know where to look to boot it up.
