Looks cool. You always see every build using hard tubing with perfect right angles and stuff. The unusuall angles of the tubes will complement the crystals and their angles nicely. Great build keep it up

[Nup]

Its gonne be a real spectacle!

 

Looking forward to more! will you be giving us a filling vlog too?

 

Also; those fittings are baller.

Thanks.

Another Vlog:

[OddsCrazyStuff]

System finally got the cleaning liquid running it in, but it seems that I have punctured the top radiator in front.

So there will be some more work with it, meaning it seems that I wont be filling it with pastel this weekend.

[iHardware Shelden]

All I can say is this song started playing when I saw those giant pictures

 

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Okay, lesson learned.

1 min of PWM power beats 4+ hours of trying to get the air out of the system.

[bmawn]

Did you manage to fix the radiator?

Looking forward to see the end result of this.

Did you ever think of maybe designing crystals in e.g sketchup or solidworks then either 3d printing them or maybe milling them in acrylic?

I just removed it. For now so dont I need that 5th radiator anyway.

Will replace it with a shadow box for Dreamhack, will see what happens after that. Consept can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paper-Cut-Shadow-Box/

 

As for crystals, it seems Skeeper will be adding more custom work to this build:

"All invited have been mailed and informed now".

Guess I ether didnt go custom enough or didnt manage to tell about it good enough.

Ether way, they didnt pick this project

Looks really interesting! Can't wait to see the end result man. Rest and post some more updates

[OddsCrazyStuff]

The pc is finish, except the shadow box, but at worse so can I go to Dreamhack without it.

So the finish pictures and movie should be up at Sunday or Monday, depending on how much work there is with the shadow box.

 

Edit: forgot about the crystals (which are in the mail) and the LEDs

Why are you cooling your pc with blood and milk?

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Status update:

 

After a lot of back and forth, so will I be going to Dreamhack. Sadly without this PC.

The reason is simple, the reservoir holders would not handle the trip, which ment ether take it a part for the trip or go with my streaming pc.

I choose the last one, as it was not worth the work to hope thats its problem free once I get there.

[OddsCrazyStuff]

So I'm at Dreamhack with my streaming pc. Place C15:4

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Found 3 of the Casemod invite cases, so though I should share what the judges thinks is good enough.

And based on that, so do I have my work cut out for next year.

Status update:

 

I will take Desember off.

The only thing I plan on doing is the video from Dreamhack about computer stuff from there, but other then that so I will not be working on this project as it has been going almost none stop since August.

So unless the PC temps gets worse, so will it remain the way it its now till new year.

 

What I have planned for next round is to take it apart and figure out why the temps are as high as they are (70 C on CPU with 2x 480mm rads under full load) and get custom cables made (Icemodz seems to offer it).

After those problems are dealt with, so will I start figure out how to mod the case it self.
