Fabulous..

Can we get some pics of the inners of it. I was thinking of going with a acrylic case and want to see what you did to hide the wire's mess..

[CrashOv3r1De]

[The Byter]

Custom made acrylic case, custom keyboard, custom LCD,
EMP watercooling 2 blocks, cpu&nb(self design and cnc), HD window,PSU heavily moded.

Hope u like it :)

Looks very nice. Cables and tubes are organized very well.
1) What kind of radiator do you use? Are there shrouds attached to it?
2) What pump do you use? Is it eheim 1048?
3) What kind of liquid do you use? For how long does this sytem run and was there any bacteria growth?

10x alot :)

1)its the swiftech rad. (what r shrouds?)
2)the pump is a eheim1250, now i use a 1046 (silent, no vibes)
3)its a car cooling liquid keeps the system clean as new for months...

[Orka]

1) shrouds: http://www.overclockers.com/tips1022/
2) when you switched from 1250 to 1046 how did this effect the perfromance of the system?
3) you run it 100% car cooling liquid or mix it with distilled water?

no, no shrouds.
the 1046 gave the same numbers, teh 1250 got hot and made my whole desk vibrate...

[Orka]

Thanks. That's very important to me as i'm going to run quite a similar WC in the near future. Why do you think 1250 heated up and vibrated that much?

3) What about liquid? Do you mix it with distilled water? Have you tried to run 100% distilled water on this system and was the performance if you did?

4) I notice your ICH (SB) has passive cooling. How did you attach it? Thermal glue?

5) Which fan sucks the air into the case and which blows away? Why so? Did you try different fan blowing directions and what were the results?

6) What was modded in PS besides the lighting on the fan?

[NO LIFE]

I dont see a video card..

[sk-]

He is using the onboard video

Looks rally nice. I like the placement of the LCD.

I think we have the same windowed hard drive:

- The 1250 needs a 1/2" tubes i use 3/8OD.
- i use only the car rad liquid, the distiled made the block black...
- its an EPOX 8RGA+ mobo so the OB gf4MX gives me 100fps in cs
that is all i need :)
- all the fans suck air from the case to the outside.
- the psu got a new fan, a relay inside, the EL cable invertor in side, the P4 cables cut off and all the molexs rearrange.

Nice looking setup!

[Enyo]

looks great. but watch it with the elbow bends.. they kill flow

[Steve978]

your lcd has an lcd...

[vonkaar]

Very well done! My biggest pet peeve (besides people who use the expression pet peeve) with Acryllic cases are ****-poor cabling. It's very rare to see someone pull it off well, and you did it. The water-cooling placement is great (I love side exhaust setups), the tubing is clean... the whole package looks well thought-out and executed. Very nice ^_^

All the fans? Or just the ones on the radiator?

[The Byter]

Thank you all ppl.

It is very nice to see that there are still ppl who can give a good word.

BTW: the CRT has a LCD... (LG 795FT Plus CRT)

the rad fans suck in all the rest suck out of the case

[Orka]

The Byter:
Cool. You made one of the most organized transperent cases i' ve ever seen. Really neat work. Cabel het"het ;-)

Two last questions:
1) Did you think about using a UV die in your setup? It may give even more attractive look.
2) The transperent top of HDD: is it an original or you modded your HDD too?

Thanks for your anwers.

[YviE]

Great machine!! I love it!

[El<(')>Maxi]

Wouldn't it be better to have the radiator fans blowing out of the case?

Sweet case, nice work there.

[The Byter]

the coolest air you can get is outside the case that is why they suck in.

the HD mod is mine too :)


thanks alot ppl i took me like a year - on and off...

OK that makes sense, but according to this (http://www.overclockers.com/articles769/index03.asp) the air coming off the radiator should "preferably not blow into the case"

I don't know jack about water cooling and that's just something I noticed. I am looking into water cooling at the moment:p

[vonkaar]

Not to derail this topic or anything, but I completely disagree with a radiator that is used as an exhaust port rather than input air. I've tried both setups on every water-cooling system I've installed. CPU temperatures have consistantly been higher when I test the radiator fans blowing out.

I still love the setup The Byter has going here.

The front fan take out the hot back rad air
