Project N.V. - A watercooling adventure

[p0Pe]

Hi Guys!

 

My name is Hans Peder Sahl, and I come from Denmark. I am in the process of starting up a new casemod project, but thought I would get to know you guys here first, and show you my previous build first.

 

A little about me:

 

I am 25 years old, come from Denmark and am currently finishing my Bachelor degree in Integrated designs. I currently work spare time for SteelSeries whom I also write my Bachelor project for. I have done quite a few casemods which can all be seen on my website www.hps.dk and you can also see a few of my other stuff, and a few teasers on the new project on my facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/DesignsByHPS

 

I hope you like what I have to offer, and can only say enjoy. This project was finished a few months ago, and was my biggest build to date.

And some highlights from the build:

 

Filling of the interconnect plate!

 

 

Initial design of the motherboard interconnect block:

 

 

 

Some parts:

 

 

 

 

PSU reservoir - this is a modification of the one I did for Project M8, and is now made in clear akrylic!

 

 

 

Prototype of the interconnect plate:

 

 

 

Mounted:

 

 

 

Deciding on what colors to use:

 

 

Huge ass quad front reservoir (this baby weighs over 3 kilo and supports two loops!) which was fun to design!

 

 

 

 

 

Pump setup:

 

 

 

Fillports:

 

 

Sleeving:

 

 

Lights under each gfx card!

 

 

Aquaero and Aquaadjust housing mounted:

 

 

 

Hard tubing! All over the build, and only 90 degree turns.. This was quite a challenge!

 

 

 

And the case compared to the next mod

 

 

Dying the loop:

 

 

And thats the highlights of this build:D It was a tough ride, and I hope you like it!

[Hanoverfist]

I saw this on YouTube recently.. Stunning project. Loved the video. Love the Build even more .. Very advanced modding here.

[Hikaru12]

After seeing this on YouTube I was wondering who the mystery man was to this incredible build. That's awesome. You can barely see any wires. Where do you have your storage?

Very nice build. Welcome to the forums. Have seen the video on youtube multiple times.. Favorite part? putting the red dye in the loop and watching it chagne red.

 

Thanks for the welcome! I also had 3 camera´s set up to catch that moment:D Was not easy, and there was no second chances

 

welcome to LLT. glad you could make it over here. I know Ive seen this case before somewhere else.

 

Thanks man! I hope to share a few more of my finished projects with you guys before starting my new one:)

 

I've seen this in so many places, and yet I watch that video and amazed every single time. Its amazing!

 

Thank you! I am also quite proud of the video

 

 

holy mother of jesus, this guy has his own made quadrocopter....

 

Haha yeah, that one was fun to build. I designed the entire thing myself, and 3D printed the entire shell and then soldered the electronics together. She flies like a dream:)

 

Build of the week for sure!

 

Gonna have to check what that is:D

[p0Pe]

 

 

AMAZING O_O

 

but how did you put all the mobo block in place?

 

Patience and properly to much brute force. Everything still works though:D

 

Truly an amazing build.

 

That interconnection plate is amazing. 

 

Glad you like it. It took waaaayyyy to much time to get the measurements right.

 

Super awesome! DO MOAR!

 

Working on it:D Just need a few more parts from ASUS, bitspower, EK and Corsair and you will see a new mod from me Teasers is on my facebook page.

 

But the real question:  Can it run Crysis?

 

I actually did not try LOL. But it does taxes very well

 

one word perfection 

 

Thanks!

 

I saw this on YouTube recently.. Stunning project. Loved the video. Love the Build even more .. Very advanced modding here.

 

Thanks man! I aim to do something new with each of my projects:)

 

After seeing this on YouTube I was wondering who the mystery man was to this incredible build. That's awesome. You can barely see any wires. Where do you have your storage?

 

Storage is in the front below the blue ray drive:)

 

wow. thats some pretty epic custom blocks there man. far out. you have talent my friend. its like a mini powerhouse of pumps.

 

Thank you man! And yeah, 4 Aquacomputer D5 pumps might have been a tad of overkill, but hey, the rest of the build is too:D

 

Thanks for all the replies guys! It is wonderfull to build something like this and see that people enjoy it:)
