hmm with mine i put the filter on the outside of the intake fan, but i guess its only a cosmetic thing afterall..

you sir, are an astoundingly brave man, i dont think i could even comprehend doing a build such as this!

 

[nocteratus]

Well HDD positioning don't effects its working or life.
And about dust filter it's a good idea. i will think about it.

anyone using dust filter for intake fans...?

+1 on the hdd positioning...

I work in IT and I've work for companies with PC brand like Dell, HP, IBM... and the HDD are never place the same way. Sometimes they're upside down or vertically attach...

 

[antiacid]

nicely done!

So, what is your next tweak on that computer? A waterblock on the video card? Custom heatsinks? Custom etching in the acrylic frame? Keep us updated

 

[nukemaster]

Cool!

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Thanks Mr. montyuk, Mr.nocteratus, Mr. antiacid, Mr. nukemaster

well for further, i am having a 320GB sata hdd in hand thinking to add it in case.
as per watercooling VGA currently i am having XFX Nvidia 9600 GT, i dont think it's worth to watercool this GPU.
I am planing and saving for palit ATI 4870 X2

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Watercooling 4870 GPU will help me overclock it.

but overclocking 9600 is not worthfull.

May be till next month i will be having 4870 X2. It's very expensive in India.

well putting filter on outerside will not effect its working, But it will hide your fan (specially if you having LED fan looks)
second after a period or so dust will be collected on your fillter, it will look very untiedy.

Placing filter inside will not hide your fans and even dusty filltes are not easily visible from outside. So you case look more clean.

true watercooling a 9600GT will not help you... temps should not be a problem at all, merely the (lack of) voltage being supplied to the GPU and mem limiting the overclock.

if you haven't done so already, i HIGHLY recommend you oc that 9600GT 😀

cheers

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Thanks Mr. V3NOM

I have tried OC 9600GT but it's make no diffrence in Game playing (according to my own Gaming Experience on my machine), only increases 3DMARK point with some no.

 

[doped]

dude!.. that is one awesome build you made yourself.. I really admire your skill.. very good job! and you inspired me, to move my hdd's from the bottom of the case (blocking use of my PCI slot 🙁) to the side.. and a last comment on your fansystem on the side, that's an awesome idea, to make it with the contacts that way

many thumbs up!

No links - I've DIY'ed dust filters for fans before using two square metal frames with a thin loose-weave fabric held between them.

Nice effort on that case.

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Thanks Mr. Doped and Mr. Mugz

Hello.I wan't to build a watercooling system myself, now i'm researching the internet for usefull information. I found this very usefull links: http://www.webx.dk/oz2cpu/pcmod/water.htm and http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=105157 , and of course 😀 your thread.Please can you describe step-by-step (if it's possible with photo's or schematics) how you build that waterpump? I would like to try to build one too.Thank you in advance.

 

[Raviolissimo]

looks good. do you have access to a milling machine, drill press, that kind of stuff ?

 

[robyistvan]

I work in advertising production. I'm the operator on a cnc machine and also a laser engraver, i know corel, so yes tools are not the problem 😉 .What i need is what i was asking from rakesh_sharm, specifically how he built that waterpump. Another good link : http://forum.***.com/water/108-home-made-water-cooling-4.html (replace the stars with x+c+p+u+s, i mean put together the five letters)

 

[eclipseaudio4]

Very nice rig! Lots of respect for the ingenuity and research. Reminds me that not all people have become mindless drones.

 

[V3NOM]

...yeh but i bet the temps arent as good as my S1283 mate.

 

[blackpanther26]

Wow nice rig. You should publish your Water cooling system on the web. Or ask a company like Swiftech if they want to buy your design. First patent it.

 

[rakesh_sharma23]

Sorry for late reply I was bussy in completing my DIY sub-woofer This i will discuss later
First Reply to Mr.robyistvan
Sir sorry i dont have pic of my pump development. But i can give you some Idea.
First you should have a pumping unit and second driving unit to drive pump..In my case iam using HP inkjet head motor to drive pump armature.

I have also made a small pump for my Gpu Water block(under progress).
hava a look on motor , pump unit , armature and small pump running..
