Good Ol' Fashioned Homemade Rig

chunkeymunkey25 · Jun 25, 2005

I (finally) finished my loop, so here it is in all its ghetto-ness

Components:
Kustom block
19?? Escort heatercore w/ shroud for 2x92mm
Eheim 1048, run submersed
5 gallon bucket reservoir
About 8' 1/2"id-3/4"od Home Depot vinyl tubing + 2 feet POS 1/2"id-5/8"od "kink-for-sure" vinyl
1 3/4" gallon distilled h2o, with a spa biocide tablet
Lotsa hoseclamps, zipties, ~1 1/2 tubes 5 minute epoxy, some amount of my blood and sweat

Now for the pics:

Completely kustom block:

Inside with impingement center inlet and 2 outlets

Copper base design, 1/8" dimples driled into the 1/4" thick bar with channels connecting most holes (the copper pipe on the inlet fits over the dimple array).

Completed block epoxied together.

Currently, with one 92mm fan running I'm getting about 45*C load, but then again the AS5 has had no time to set in, and I'm at my school's lan party where it's been pretty warm so far for this time of year. I'll post more pics for any requests for specific pics.

More Pics

My reservoir: a 5 gallon laundry detergent bucket with barbs epoxied in

19?? Escort heatercore with a cardboard/ducttape shroud for 2x92mm fans and 1/2" barbs epoxied into the pipes.

The Eheim 1048 is completely submerged, and goes straight to to heatercore, then to the waterblock, then back into the bucket.

The whole loop, with many of the peices of my Knex case project also shown.

Hey,

Cool project you got going!

Are you sure the base isnt hitting the white plastic retention to the left? The one marked "Socket 462"?

Anyways great job there, looks almost like my block.

Wow...

That is so ... ghetto-tastic!

orionlion82 · Jun 25, 2005

oh gawd! its perfect. all function and no form!
maybe you could spraypaint the bucket, and somehow waterproof an LED or two to make the water glow?
not exactly bling, but even trailerparks have some pink flamingo's and bathtub jesus on the lawns... hehe.. awesome!

riceshocker · Jun 25, 2005

hahaha, and i thought using a beer can as a reservoir was ghetto.

I made one very much like yours about 3 years ago
when in first saw the "pop can block" on the OC front page
out of a shaving gell cap

But after the JBweld Cracked and water went over my Graphics card
Due to the stiff pipes when bleeding the system kinda made me think i should make somthing stronger
Luckly the Geforce 3 lived

I went to all Cooper, Made almose the same as my shaving gell cap block
Very easy to make
copper 2 inch end cap, 3/8 cooper barb (part of a "T" ) 3/8 to 1inch fitting
solded together

Be a lot safer

Keep up with the good work :thup:

Well it looks like it should work. Looking forward to seeing the results.

super ghettoriffic!

chunkeymunkey25 · Jun 26, 2005

Yep, I drillled the holes incorrectly (long story short, I measured incorrectly horizontally, so I had to hastily cut two new seperate holes not touching the previous holes), so it does go over oart of the Socket 462 writing. Then again, I applied enough AS5 to cover any potential errors such as this, and I had to cut all of my springs to different lengths to create a tight enough mounting system, which seems to have held pretty well so far.

MBM5 is currently showing WC'd machine 40*C while being used as a WOW lan server (google it), so it seems that the 1600+ could very well stay under 100*F under full load after the AS5 get fully set and I use more than a single 92mm fan.

Makes me think we shoudl have a sticky thread just for pics of ghetto rigs.

Some of the besst ingenuity I've seen goes into making these "ghetto" systems.

chunkeymunkey25 · Jun 27, 2005

Man, being caled as ghetto as ghettocomp...what an honor :beer:

After lugging this back and forth to the lan party, I'm going to build an external box to somehow hold everything inside. Right now I'm thinking of heading over to my local surplus store and getting something like this .

The funny thing is I got the idea because there were about 10 of these exact ones at the school sitting by a display server :shrug:

. Then again, I do go to High Tech High International, so I should expect that by now

. Thanks again for all the replies, my brother is now calling me an internet \/\/hore for posting this.
