while i was pulling parts out of my PC to prep it for WC, i had a crazy freakin idea to mount the floppy drive in the second PSU bracket above the motherboard... so i grabbed a sheet of 1/16" aluminum that i had, cut it out on the scroll saw, drilled a few holes, and bam! you have the sickest floppy drive relocation that i've ever seen

got my 2 Alphacool Delrin Repack reservoirs mounted (sexy, eh?)

got my 2 DDC-2 pumps mounted to run in series - i have a 12x12" sheet of 1/2" clear gel rubber coming from mcmaster (same stuff as petras tech "gel stuff") that i'm going to put behind/under the pumps to isolate vibration from the case

i also drilled out all the holes in the original hard drive rack, and added rubber grommets to it - i will actually be using this for the hard drives, and you'll see how its all going to work out once i get some 2" 6-32 threaded standoffs from mcmaster

... and i got my PA 120.3 w/ shouds mounted

last pic: this is my computer as it currently sits while i prep/mod my case for water cooling

sweet idea on the floppy drive, and you have no idea how much i hate you at the moment

 

[Acurax]

lol, nice work with the floppy drive.

What do you use it for? I've been floppy-less for 2 years

 

[Sneaky]

just for school stuff and BIOS flashing

 

[Sneaky]

I finished re-installing the PA 120.3 minus the shrouds (they just took up so much damn room!), and also installed the BIX II while I was at it:

 

[Sneaky]

got my pumps sleeved and then mounted with petras "gel stuff" underneath them (not from petras - but the exact same stuff from mcmaster-carr)

and also replaced the socket cap M4 threaded screws on the alphacool delrin repack reservoirs with black oxide button head M4 screws:

 

[SolidxSnake]

nice... do you know what kind of problems i could solve with a machine this in-tents?!

 

[flamerail]

So sweet!

 

[Sneaky]

started routing the tubing:

 

[hainer36]

did you test how good the mag II LE is, compaired to all the other pumps you had?

 

[Sneaky]

mag II LE sucks, period.

mine also has issues not starting, so im calling DD tomorrow to hopefully return the pump, or use credit from it to pay for part of another DDC from them

 

[hainer36]

good to kno...i was wondering about em since i first saw them, and thought they might be crap....no pump that small could be good......except the DDC (its bigger i think though....right?)

 

[Sneaky]

finished plumbing the loop:

and some classic waterblock pr0n:

and yes... the DDC is bigger, and its made by Laing Thermotech, Inc. - people who have REAL experience making pumps

 

[Fr3@k3r]

is it possible to slighty heat the tubing in order to get it to conform to a certian angle? just a thought in case you might come into some problems..

btw

very good so far.. altho a little expensive for my taste, unless you plan on tryin to win some awards with it lol

 

[Alchemy1]

What pump are you going to use for your GPU loop now? Also, where did you get the metal barbs for your PA 120.3?

 

[Sneaky]

going to get another DDC-2 + alphacool top

 

[Sneaky]

finally got it filled up and is currently bleeding/leak testing

and damn! that reservoir looks freakin' hot when its filled up!

 

[inkfx]

You sir are good at what you do. It looks better and better everytime I see it. Keep it up man!

 

[KyleB]

What liquid are you pumping through there? Looks a lot more green than mine

 

[Mr. Roboto]

my god, that's some nice work man. Looks awesome. I wish i had the money so i could have that kind of fun
