There you go...looks like you have extra image tags though, but that's minor...can be fixed using the edit feature.

Your last thread is almost 90% ok, you need remove the

earl45- I also use Photobucket. If you look on the image page, there are 4 different URLs available on the right side. You want the one that says 'IMG code'. If you simply click it, the site 'copies' it to your clipboard...or simply highlight and copy/paste. This will be the format you need...and you don't need to add the extra tags.

[Lutfij]

awesome work there bro!

 

[rubix_1011]

Thanks! You can really tell from these better photos that I have a little touch-up to do, but all in all...I am very happy with how this turned out. I just wish it wasn't as heavy as it is, but I don't go to LAN's as much as I used to, so transporting isn't as big of an issue. If I were to do this again, I'd make sure I had a table saw and some different tools than what I used for this project. The entire thing was cut using a jigsaw and even though I took incredible care to make good cuts, human error is to blame for how some of the panels fit. I can fix the minor imperfections, and I worked quite a bit to get most to fit as they stand now. Would I do this again? Certainly- but only if I had as good or better plans than I did with this project. The hardest part is making sure everything fits together in three dimensions as well getting mount points, holes and all of those component placements that you take for granted when mounting gear inside of a normal case.

 

[Lutfij]

will keep those points to mind when i'll probably do something like this.

could try adn look at the TJ08-E case if you're a lan goer.

 

[rubix_1011]

I think if I do this again, it will be as a SFF or media center type of case configuration.

 

[wolfram23]

rubix that is massive!!

How come you decided to put everything on the outside of the case though? Just looks cooler?

 

[rubix_1011]

I wanted everything visible...I wanted it to be more art than anything. The HDDs, PSU, and wiring are all internal; I wanted the external/visible components to be very clean, functional and tidy, while lending to clean lines of the build. All the mess and garbage would be hidden, thus the reason all the other components are internal.

I was very, very close to mounting the HDDs externally to display them, but I had the 3x 5.25 bay mount for the drives, so I decided to stay with the black/white theme and mount them internally.

 

[earl45]

That's pretty nice, definitely thinking outside the box (no pun intended).

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Nice Rubix,
I'd have been tempted to maybe go bigger on the hoses for visual effect, like 'sleeve' the hoses you have in one inch massive ducting type stuff
but I do like what you have created there mate, enjoy it

It's already 1/2"ID-3/4"ID Primochill LRT...the stuff is pretty big.

Very nice!

Cool LED layout, and I like that fan above the motherboard.

Could you link that fan?

Thanks and sure it is here http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Ultra-Silent-140mm-NF-P14/dp/B002XISTXM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1325016031&sr=8-6

 

[Rustyy117]

Been busy with a new project, GPU to be replaced by something less crap soon!

 

[rubix_1011]

That's quite a clean build you have...I like the black/white contrast. What is painted, what is stock?

Interesting reservoir placement... *****LOVE***** the D5 pump/top.

 

[hydromarket]

This is next level guys!

 

[wolfram23]

Maaaan... I want a new case
And a new monitor
And a new PSU
And more water cooling stuff

I hate computers

Hey all,

I'm nearly finished with my watercooling build. Just waiting on white single-braided cables for ATX and PCIE and a smaller res so it fits under my graphics card and I'll be finished.

Take a look and let me know what you think. Note: This picture was taken during leak test, so the observant eye might note the 24 pin is disconnected and jumpered.

Specs:
Fractal Design Arc Midi
/w modded window (not in picture)

Let me know what you think! Cheers :-D

 

[wolfram23]

That is really nice! I'm liking all the white LEDs, that must look awesome. Not to mention the hardware (7970!).

Is that enough rad space though for all that?

Not sure why it wouldn't be enough rad, but here's some stats . . . cuz haterz gonna hate!

The following was captured after running Unigine Heaven 2.5 and prime 95 blend test simultaneously for about an hour.

Temps stayed pretty constant. GPU never went over 40C and CPU stayed low to mid 50s for most of the run.

I'm gonna start gaming now and probably will all night. Can post temps when I'm done

 

[Hobo82]

2 hours of gaming later:

Max CPU temp: 52
Avg CPU temp: 43
Max GPU temp: 37
Avg GPU temp: 34

Mind you, it was only SWTOR which isn't all that intense, but I doubt I'd get much different results on BF3. If I can bring myself to play that game again, I'll let ya know.
