radodrill Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Update time again Installed the DVD drive Re-sleeved the necessary PSU cabling in UV-blue Also custom wired one cable for power to the floppy headers on the MB, the fans, lighting, and the pump. Pulled the heatsinks off of the PWMIC, NB, and SB Installed the mounting hardware for the waterblocks and re-installed the PWMIC block with AS5 Installed the waterblocks Pulled the heatsinks off of the 8800GTXs Applied the thermal pads and AS5 (if you're not confident that you won't over apply the thermal paste then you should use the ceramique that's included with the block) Put on the waterblocks Sponsors: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radodrill Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Since that MB has 3 PCI-E slots.....can any two be used for 16x SLI? Top 2 slots are x16 and the bottom one is x8, intended for a physics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 First off; slight mod to the PSU; since the stock fan was very loud I replaced it with a 140mm Yate Loon There were some clearance issues with the GFX cards and the rear X-Flow Radiator So the RAD is being replaced with a standard (non X-Flow) radiator The two side by side Clearance issue resolved A few shots of the case Installed the tubing for the CPU, NB, and SB Adding the GFX cards And the rest of the tubing Filled the loop; currently bleeding/leak-testing (removed the drive bays to make it easier to see the tubing during this phase) Booting it up for the first time after installing it into the case A gallery of the case with different lighting schemes Now it's just a matter of finishing up the baseboard for it. I'll also post some stock-speed benchmarks shortly and also some overclocking results later on. Sponsors: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneedav8 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 That looks awesome, did not realize how large that case was until the mb was mounted in there. You should toss the idea to DD to put your design into production so people can buy one of their own....giving you credit, compensation and naming it after you of course. I am not too big on acrylic cases but I would buy yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mknwatt Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Now that's a nice looking setup :drool:. I'll look here if I ever need any ideas....you've done some excellent work. The fun begins testing the new hardware. Job well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
