hey all
finally got my lights and stuff a few days ago... here are a couple of pics. they don't do it any justice though, as this is a crappy camera. the water really looks like a real bright cartoon-acid green :p i just used a highlighter to color it... it glows under the lights real well.

yeah, that's right... jammed 2 radiators in there... hehe

i've got 3 lights in there... a UV and blue in the bottom, and a blue in the top.
also, i got a double order, that's why i have 3 lights (one was blown). heh. figured why not waste the free stuff though :D

also, on a side note... does that 12" woofer look a bit too close to my flatscreen monitor? i've had trouble with this monitor ever since i got it... it turns pink often. i don't think the speaker is close enough, but i just thought i'd ask. the center of it is about 15" from the back of the monitor.

Nice setup youve got there.. what size of tubing is that on your WC setup? 1/2 inch? :)

[Korndogg]

yep.. 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD

What are your temps?

[Korndogg]

the CPU surface is usually ~92ºF (33ºC) with my TbredA @ 1.8Vcore. ambient is probably 65-58ºF (20ºC), but i don't know for sure because i don't have a thermometer in here....
seems a bit warm to me... but i havn't been able to do anything about it.

Can you commend on the 3.5 inch bay rheobus? Im thinking of picking up one of those babies and i need some recommendations...

[angomeka]

hehe, me too


and yes, i like the fan bus. 4 pin power in, 4x3pin power out. up to 8 watts per channel.. adjustable from 7-12v output. i've only had it for a couple of days, but i havn't had any problems with it yet.

Great thx. I was choosing between this and the new vantec one, but this will do the trick, cheaper too!

Am I blind? I can't see the second radiator!

EDIT: Cancel that, it was hiding..I SWEAR!

hehe.. that one that was blown.... i took it apart and re-soldered the ends and now it works beautifully :D :D :D

so now i have 2 blue CCFL's and 2 black ones
spiffy ;)

[Korndogg]

as mentioned already, i have one of these:
http://www.svcompucycle.com/35drivbayvrf.html
it's rated at 8 watts per channel... but i just realized that i have like 8.4 on one of them
that sound bad for it? heh
i think i'm just worrying about my new parts... but i figured i might as well ask :p

[greg r]

How do you like that fan speed controller? I was considering getting the same one. Thanks:)

Korndogg what case is that? I've been looking for a nice case that big =P

[Korndogg]

it's a cheiftec... full tower, not the ones that are usually 'called' fulltower... heh. a full tower cheiftec has 6 5.25" bays. the best place i've found for prices on cases is directron.com. huge selection, cheap prices.

[CRowsey]

allright appreciate it!

[Korndogg]

damn, netfirms is down... (that's where my images are hosted)
hope that won't last long. anyway... that's not what i wanted to say..
i justed used channel 1 of that fan bus for the first time, and it stays at 12v!!! AHHH!!! piss me off...
anyone... have any suggestions? heh... i'm doubtful anyone has anything to say except "that sucks" or "send it back"... but i just thought i'd ask. heh.
and no, i havn't taken it apart to examine it yet, because it'll be a BIG pain in the a$s
