On ivitation from Carl I post a pic of my case here.
I have done this 4 years ago and no changes since. The paint has a lot of scratches now (highlighted by the flashligt of my camera) and the bronze colour almost completely has come off the handle.
This is probably the only chocolatbrown case in the whole wide world.



Some nice cases you guys have there btw!

soundx98 suggested that I post my machine's pics here.
I don't know whether my post is on topic or not.

Because my machine has no case!





Do you want a silent PC?
This is the answer.

Thats sweet man. Is that plexi that the mobo is attached to?

Thanks culinist.
Yes, the motherboard is attached to the plexi.

Please check here for full setup pics - Looky here

This thread needs its usual bumpage.. So all the new peeps can check out the awsome rigs here...

Enz0, is that a CF card you are using for your main drive? and external firewire/usb2 drive for storage?

Yes, the CF is my main drive.
And I don't have an external drive for storage.
The CF is 1GB and 80% of it is used.
FreeBSD without X is very light!

Here is a new picture.

love that orange and blue goes right with my team colors. Were did you get that case and or lights from A G?:nod: :cool:

http://

well finaly broke down and got a new case and I still have not heard the last of it from my other half. But holding on to a case for over nine years is that bad. :eek: :nod: :shake: One I get my camera up and running I ll post some pics.

Sorry, not a DFI. I'll post the other rigs once I've put them back together

Specs on this rig:
EPoX 8KDA3J (nF3 250Gb)
Athlon64 Newcastle 3200+ (240x10), Cooled by Thermalright (like all my rigs) SLK-948U + Antec pro 92mm casefan
2x256MB TwinMOS PC3200@Sync, cas2, 2.8v
BBA AIW Radeon 9800pro, Cooled by VGA Silencer rev.2 (Soon to be replaced with a 6800 Ultra, which is ordered, but currently out of stock. Not good for my PSU )
WD1200JB + WD800JB
LiteON 52327S CDRW + Ancient Panasonic DVD-RAM/R w/Cooler Master alu fronts
Audigy Player
Ti Wireless-G card
KME 5260 case + 2 12" Blue CCFLs, 4 basic 80mm LED fans


[bimg]http://www.ndt-uk.net/uploads/img41a7e6d402752.jpg[/bimg]

I tried to darken this one a little so you could see the CCFLs and side decal as they really look... It didn't really work, but in reality the decal is much more visible, and the blue is much darker.

And the hideous moment when I take a flash pic and you see that none of the PCBs match... At least when I had the Infinity in this rig, the graphics card matched the mobo, and I didn't have the disgustigly brown Audigy in there...

Here's mine.

Hi Guys,can someone explain how to get them pic posted i see that are the Realsize ones.Thanks.

The new case



Gratuitous money shot



On the shopping list - Vantec 3.5 Nexus controller - 2 Blue LED Fans for the front grill - Some alloy Drive covers - Terratec DMX Fire Sound Card - A Monitor to do my $500 Graphics card justice!

Then onto the 939 system :nod: mmmmmmm new build

Ok.. this thread needs a bump.. I also figured Id let you guys druel over my work computer..







:nod:

NIce THunDA. Did you do the button mod on that monitor. I saw a guy over at extreme forums with that exact sane rig. Had it running 400x12,1:1 @1.35v:)

Actually I did mod the dumb fan duct they have on the cpu..
It was vibrating and driving me nuts so I did a cardboard mod and wedged a piece into the plastic to stop the noise..

Man this thread is overflowing with geekyness! :-)

And where is yours.. ?


:shake: :shake:

Is that a T2x series ThinkPad I see there? Good choice of Laptop, I have to say! My T20's still going strong (I updraded the CPU to a 900 too... Madness for 200MHz )

jus posted my pics on my clas forums and .. figured id show u good guys here too . should have some new parts such as rad shroud , UV cold Cathodes , and some primoflex tubing. but here it it before that .

Nice rig man. What's that coolant hose going straight up from the T-connector for? Going to throw some water on your vid card as well? How do you like the powerstream? I've heard a lot of good things about them but somebody was telling me the shielded cables are really hard to route.

Looks nice. What are you planning on using for coolant?

DS

there is a little bit of hydrx in there now . the hose going straight up is for my t-line setup for me to fill and bleed the system because i didnt have the right length tubing to hook up my res . i have a schroud my cold cathodes and my primochill tubing coming tomorrow :shake:

nice system, thanks for the pics!

here is a pic of my DFI UT250GB repacked into a small Coolermaster centurion case. This case is Ideal for watercooling (for such a small case).



Rig specs:
DFI UT250 GB
3400 clawhammer (2.5Ghz)(vcore 1.84)
1GB OCZ VX Gold PC3200 (A64 tweaker settings)(3.3 vdimm)
(2-10-15-2-2-5-2-3-1-2-4708-8x-64-d-d-4x-7-5.5-16-e-200)
nVidia Prototype 6800 Ultra (modified custom bios)(495/1250)
74 GB raptor, 250 GB data drive
Silver TDX (with custom chrome top)(#4 insert)
NV-68 (Custom UV Green Lucite top)(very 1st NV-68 made)
Dual DDC Laing pumps running paralle
BIX rad (chrome)
Lite On Dual layer DVD burner
Audigy 2 sound card
OCZ Power Stream 520

It is an OK little system. I mainly use this one for games. Until I get my NF4 anyway....

CPU Killer

Is that the two pumps down at the bottom of the case? How do you balance the flow between them?

Yep, 2 DDC 12v DC pumps

they are in parallel so there isn't any issues with "balance" output pressures are the same, just the flow is increased.

Nice rigs guys..

; p jus got my shroud and tubing now
it GLOWS!! :drool:

cpu killer, how would you say your h20 setup compares to say a koolance exos?

lol.... night and day difference

Silver TDX waterblock and a NV-68 with dual DDC pumps on a BIX rad.... I/2" ID tubing

Koolance.. 1/4" ID tubing, tiny pump, tiny rad, plated blocks very limited heat removal.

lol answered it for em .. i have gonna say almost the same thing thats pretty sick with a silver block aswell im pretty damn happy with my copper TDX setup and the quality of Danger Den parts from this purchase put me in aw when i opened the package nicley lapped and the finish of the top and engraving was alos pretty damn nice :drool:

LoN3r - What case is that? Looks like a small version of the Antec P160. If so, where'd you get it?

CPU Killer - I really like your rig. I've seen very few water cooled boxes that look as clean as yours. Great pics!

now, don't take this the wrong way, Koolance has it's place in watercooling.

It is for the people that want the quiet option of watercooling. It isn't for the extreme overclockers that are dumping additional heat into the system. It was designed for the people that have no intrest in "modding" or limited mechanical skills. But want to watercool too.

I tell people that call DD and ask about our gear that if you want a silent cooling solution and have no plans of overclocking, then get a Zalman system or a Koolance one. DD gear can be silent as well, and will allow you to expand into the dark arts of overclocking, but if you arenot going to OC, then you could save some money by getting a Koolance or Zalman setups.

that is the p-160 got it at my local Comp Usa coz i didnt pay for it ; p 150$

if ya liked that one, here is my 875P-T (one in sig)(this one also has dual DDC pumps)

well, I would have to agree with you regarding the koolance. i've had this for maybe six months and am not satisfied w/ the temps when oc'ng.

I would not say that I am an extreme oc'er at all but like to maintain a moderate oc. And I would not say that I have NO interest in modding or that I have limited mechanical skills.

I have read good things about DD and am interested. What gear/kit would you recommend to someone that is into moderate oc'ng of an fx55?

Thanks.

This is what I would recommend.

TDX cpu (copper version)(3/8")
maze 4 gpu block (acetal top)(3/8")
BIX rad with one 120mm paspt fan (3/8")
DDC pump (if you want DC powered) hydor L35 pump (if you want AC powered)
3/8" ID tygon tubing
MCT 5 or MCT 40 coolant
bay res (for very ez filling n bleeding) or "t" fitting
misc hose clamps
artic silver 5

if ya want more info email tech support over at DD

Hey thanks cpu killer, I'm going to check that out!

Thanks....I always like new projects! :nod:

I would rather go w/ 1/2" tubing. Do you think that would be better?

3/8" is more than enough...I asked him the same thing and he told me to shaddup and use the 3/8"

and he was right...its plenty good enough.

i remember cathar talking about how 3/8 is plenty good and look at how his blocks perform :drool:

Thanks for the reply AG & LoN3R! As soon as I get my SLI-DR board running smooth on my exos, I'm gonna start a DD system!

I think my mobo is lost in here...



The videocard is bigger then the mobo..hehe



More pics next week once I finish a few mod on it..

Nothing too special, but I like it. The fan I cut into the window I'm not to happy with. It isn't quite square.

Wires are a real mess I guess.

I should really neaten up that wire on my 9800 Pro. I didn't have any heatshrink to make a nice neat job covering up the resistor for the voltmod, so I just slapped on some electrical tape. Doesn't look very neat.

I figured I'd post a few pics of my setup and let you all drool over my 20 inch flat panel. :nod:
