A new powah is rising...

[Voodoo Rufus]

Still waiting on the most crucial part to ship, but this is the beginning. I've had these parts for a long time, but never did anything with them.

Laing DDC 3.25 pump, EK V.2 top.
Thermochill PA120.4
EK Black Sparkle compression fittings

The CPU will not be water cooled this time around. That will come with my Sandy Bridge upgrade in due time.

The new panel is for my Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 case. Just received that this past week.

[Saaby900t]

Well the seti team just keeps getting new parts.

Also Very nice.

[Bakkoda]

Mountain mods make some sexy cases. Im completely jealous. Have fun with the new toys.

[Voodoo Rufus]

The debate now is whether I want to go whole hog and get a second GPU for this project in an attempt to build a 100k RAC machine.

Not sure my wallet or electricity bill would forgive me though.

[Bakkoda]

Agreed on the second gpu. Ive got a 560 still in the box while I fix my PCIE connector but Im not sure I wanna install it due to power consumption.


100k RAC does sound nice though :P

[Voodoo Rufus]

There's only 2 rigs with 100k+:

DOOOOOO ITTTTTTT!!!

Wait! Even better... Go ahead and get 2 more for Tri and save on shipping

I looked through the p0rn first, of course, then started reading. So far, so good - very nice but nothing (for me) to get jealous about - until I got to the last line: The new panel is for my Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 case. Just received that this past week. You DOG! :p

[Voodoo Rufus]

Hehe, I should have bought the new panel when I purchased the case. Didn't foresee a quad radiator at the time for some reason.

You guys aren't going to know what are the guts until it gets listed on my Seti computer listing. Then you will tremble in ph34r!

[byrdawg]

Would you at least reveal the pump you plan on using? Pretty please.

Laing DDC 3.25 pump, EK V.2 top.
Thermochill PA120.4
EK Black Sparkle compression fittings ???

[byrdawg]

Oops. Missed that part. Using my phone and screen and words kinda jumble together this small.

[Voodoo Rufus]

What really stinks about this is that I've been working so much I haven't had time to touch this project the past month!

This weekend, I will do my best to fill, leak test and power up this beast. Tyrinon is catching up too quickly.

[Tyrinon]

Only about 800k to go and I have 45k rac on ya at the moment. No pressure or anything. :D

[Daemonkin]

I'd be worried. Them Yakima boys don't do anything but pick apples and watch for aliens. :rofl:

Well, ok, they also shoot pool at the gear jammer and lose money at Legends. :D

[Tyrinon]

Yeah, well... about 50% of that is me, and then again, only sometimes. 25% of that would be me 100% of the time. lol I take it you are in this area somewhere or at least have been? :D

[Daemonkin]

Been there many times. :)

I was stationed in Bangor, up on the Kitsap north of Bremerton, but I've been back several times since I left.

[Voodoo Rufus]

It's been leak tested and flushed, and is now happily chugging along 5 Cudas simultaneously at 980MHz on the core.

And now for the finished pictures:

:drool:

The little black component at the bottom of the case is the pump, (I believe), but what is the clear little component about half-way up and on the right hand side (about 3 o'clock)? Top off tank?

Looks like a dandy little set up there! :thup:

[QuietIce]

Nice work, Rufus! :beer: ... what is the clear little component about half-way up and on the right hand side (about 3 o'clock)? Top off tank? Never heard it called that but, yes, it's a Swiftech MicroRes.

[eaglescouter]

Looks like a very clean build. Is it running yet?

[Voodoo Rufus]

Been running for more than more than 60 hours now.

Still waiting for some nice setiatwork updates.

The statistics issues caused by the weekly project downtime, combined with the validation delays have hidden your production increase for now. The next few days should be more interesting.
