MORE WATER PARTS FOR SALE ASWELL

here it is. all cleaned up

broken foot nothing better to do but take pics of the pc for now lol

and as you can see i still cannot master the canon rebel xti slr camera XD

Low light shots are always a problem. Your best bet is to get a tripod and press the shutter gently.

lol it is on a tripod loool
i will get the wife to take a pic later she seems to know how to use this camera better then i do
more parts coming in the mail next week. i have a second video card coming with full cover water block. some more lights. and the rest of my custom made water blocks from viper jon.
i am also going to be customizing case abit to retrofit a PA 120.2 240mm radiator inside where the large fan is on top. when they designed these cases they left a huge cavity up top that is almost useless without some major modifications.

ALSO
anyone with a Mozart that would be willing to sell or trade. let me know.

This weekend i will be installing ALL my 790i water blocks i got in the mail from EK. 2 vcore blocks 1 sb and one sb block made for the evga and xfx 790i motherboards.

here is what the new build consists of.

2 x 6 fan controllers 40w per channel for a total of 12 fans

2 x cable sleeving kits from murder mod

slim slot load dvd burner for laptop with adapter for sata. and custom made 5.25" cover to blend in with front mesh on case

second gtx260 video card

bran new dremel with large enforced cutting disks

2 rolls of blue painters tape

24x24 piece of wire mesh matching the mesh stock on the antec 1200 cases. im going to be customizing the top of my case to fit a pa 120.2 radiator. not exactly sure how this is going to go until i get the case all apart.

2x led switches for the uv lights in the case

12 x yateloon blue led fans 2500rpm. 3 in front 4 in back on first radiator, 4 ontop on second radiator. and one on the door.

12 x bits power compression fittings

2 rolls of 3M 4010 mounting tape

pack of 100 black 4 inch zip ties



the build is gonna begin early tomorrow morning. I will post up some pics of the build if i remember, if not i will be sure to get some up when its all finished. I am hoping to get this ALL done in one day. but it will probably lead into 2 days. I hate sleeving wires.
Those power supply tool kits for removing molex and 24 pin motherboard connectors are junk. I bought 2 of them so far and neither of them do as good of a job as my small screw driver and a safety pin lol

post some photos of all the gear and take regular breaks and use the time to snap some shots as ya go !

Yeah im gonna try to illustrate this whole build. When I am ready to get started I will try to take pics every 20 30 mins I decide to take a break show progress. I think I said I would do this before but I forgot and just got straight into business lol.

This IS my last build till I get back in September from Texas, probably going to jump to i7 by then. Maybe not, skull trail is becoming more and more affordable these days.

build post pone till later this week. stuff came up :/

all done. 3:52 am. started at 2 pm :S

i didn't take pics as i said i would but i got finished pics. i will post them up tomorrow.

here are the pics. damn wifes canon rebel xti camera is more complicated then building this computer lol sorry for fuzzy pics
pc came out quite nice if i do say so. running about 5c cooler now too.
Next is to cut door to make window bigger. or i may just order the pre made door.
