BEAST of a case!

Plenty of room!

XSPC360 goes here

Once I remove the drive bay a XSPC240 will go here

Watercooling bits!!! Fans and fan controller are inbound. Should be here Friday?

Hardware has been sitting in Indianapolis all day!!

Board is an ASUS. Had great luck with them over the years.
I wanted some extra grunt in the GPU area to assist in CAD and video/photo editing. I'll check in on the latest games every now and then...I know I grabbed way more than I need in all areas, but I don't like doing stuff twice....

Heh... I tried doing that once.. next thing I knew I ended up with a 46u rendering farm in my basement. On the plus hand I don't think we turned on the heat that entire winter.

Got some work done tonight, but too tired to post pics....will get them up tomorrow.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

UPS showed today!!

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Alright...here is some of what I got done last night.......

Eight rivets were drilled out as this cage has to go....

Once the rivets were gone the cage pulls out and makes for some room we will use later

Stock water pumps.....bleh.....

This is the only part I want!

Once the pumps are stripped I can install in this Dual 5.25" Bay Res. Fill ports on front eliminate the need to incorporate one elsewhere.

First pump installed

The res can be run in either dual or single configuration. It comes set for dual loops, but since I will be running a single loop with serial pumps I had to swap out this plunger

here is both

short plunger installed. Now it can act as one giant res.

This tube will allow the pumps to run in series

Test fitting

Also got the 360rad installed up top. Bitspower compression fittings installed as well

I then realized it was late and went to bed!!!!

ugh....filling the water system Saturday night and found an internal leak in my RX240....now I have to deal with the Northamerican/Asia rep for a UK based company....


BOOOOO....

Needless to say I now have a 98% complete build sitting on my kitchen table that is going to sit there for the foreseeable future.

I'll get some pics up later.

1. You dont do anything "normal".
2. The videocard has a "FOR THE WIN" edition. This is both awesome and .. awesome at the same time.
3. I found a picture of you and the computer on your kitchen table.

Dont spill your milk.

XSPC can lick my combat cock....never another dime from me.

This seems like a lot of hassle when you could have just gone to the apple store and purchased a vastly superior computer and taken it home and it would have just worked.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Computer has been up and running for a while, just haven't posted the pics....XSPC just is not standing behind their product on any level.

 

[Cru]

That sucks. I've never had any problems with apple support. Weird!

Why buy a K16 when I can build a billet SBR?

Why buy a K16 when I can build a billet SBR?

I've seen your SBRs, they always have mag issues or no batteries in the red dot...

Wait a sec, this is starting to make sense

 

[ZbornacSVT]

The 'mag' issue turned out to be a 'just not broken in' issue, dick...lol. And I had batteries in the Red Dot, they were just dead!!

Back to the real topic dammit!

My new love....Sandy B.

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Her problem is she didn't like her old clothes.....

So I had to buy her a little black dress!

 

[ZbornacSVT]

Then came the accessories......

 

[ZbornacSVT]

She really tied it together in the end

 

[revsaxon]

I Reeeaallllyyy dislike you. After re-seeing this thread last week I had to go out and build a new one for myself Thanks for making me spend money I didn't need to!
