finally got decent pics of my system... a lot of them (56K warning)

hey all (edit: DAMN IT! ..netfirms is down.. piss me off)

Edit again:
netfirms finally came back up, but it put an end to remote linking of pics... :(
here's the pics... http://angelfire.com/pq/korndogg/temp.html

where's the cheapest place to get a .com? and will i be guaranteed to be able to remote link to pics on my webspace?
</Edit>

finally got some pics of decent quality to show off my system.. there's also sort of a question at the end of this post...
also, these pics don't do any justice for how well the water glows with highlighter in it... i couldn't get a good "in the dark" pic.

like the style of the front of this case? not the matrix.. not the dragon.. the scorpion! hehe
http://korndogg.netfirms.com/Dscf0013.jpg
...the fan pulling air through one of the radiators.. i made that blowhole with a dremel.. you can see how smooth it is at the top of the pic.. see the reflection?

whole desk area..

the other side..

again, the front of my case... like? i like the design, but it's kind of restrictive.. which is the question that i mentioned at the top of the post.. i'm thinking that i should cut this design in between the case badge and the power switchs... there are LED fans behind there, i think it would look good... anyone think i'll run into problems by doing this with my dremel? heh..

Sweet system :eek:... I like how its all in the case and not around the case like some water cooling systems have stuff everywhere. also what's the skull for???

I really like that setup. Good job!! :eek:

yeah, i like having everything in one (...gigantic) case. makes things look a lot cleaner.

the skull is just a decoration on my fill hole :p
i've had bad experiences making reservoirs where you just screw a plug into a hole in the plexi, so i made a permanent fitting in the plexi that i cap off... not a single leak with this reservoir yet.

thanks for the compliments :)

That is one AWESOME rig man, you can brag about it all you want.:D

PS. What are those two fans above the RAM?

:eek: I'd hate to see a leak in one of those tubes.. VERY nice rig, i must say. Your case is HUGE! :eek: Also, I suggest you paint the case a different color, looks like its only been primered.. :(

Jagermeister:
keeps the ram nice 'n' cool :p
notice how i have 3 sticks of ram with heatspreaders? without those fans, the center stick gets real hot.. and after a few hours of gaming it tends to crash without those fans.

Mrfreddio55:
that's cause the flash is too bright... it's darker then the pics show..

see the color of the edge on the top there? that's a pretty accurate representation..

I believe those two fans are cooling his RAM chips :)

Very sweet case, but two cooling rads is crazy! I would love to move to a water cooling or even a pelt cooling mod but I am holding off on that for now :)

yeah, my next plan is to get a 226watt peltier... that is, if i don't have to spend this cash on a new monitor... i think mine might be running on it's last legs...

I like the red X you have painted in the side of your case, although white is a boring color :D . I wanna see them too...:(

yeah, i'm sorry about that... korndogg.netfirms.com isn't working for some odd reason....:mad:
there isn't a bandwidth limit on the free account is there?
all i can say is please check back... heh

Pelts are not very expensive...what is expensive though is the separate PSU you need to get for such a large pelt. I think 226W go for something around $30 a piece...like here:

The psu you need to power that puppy is about $110-120.

well.. i'm fed up with netfirms..
angelfire doesn't allow remote image linking though.. but here are the pics.. they're in the same order, you can use that to tell the comments i put in the thread..

http://angelfire.com/pq/korndogg/temp.html

You lug that monster to a lan party???? Please tell me you dont. Your back must be killing you :D

I never noticed but the bottom portion of you case (if you can chop off the top part above the power button and lights) it would look like a APC UPS. ROFL. It even has the center power button and the shape of the UPS. Let me see if I can dig up a picture.
02-24-2003, 04:03 PM
Korndogg

what's an ACP UPS? lol

and yeah.. i'm taking it to a lan party.. i'm really not looking forward to transporting it though.. it must way at least 60-80lbs and is awkward as hell to carry...
i'm debating whether or not i should bother taking the water out to transport it... i think i'm not gonna.. heh

Here is a link

Click on the link and scroll down to the Back-UPS Pro, Select the model BP650S. The shape of your case reminds me of that UPS :)

heh, yeah.. it does...
'cept something's wrong... upside down maybe? :p

wanted to bring back to the top so that people would notice the EDITs at the top of the first page... heh

and i'm back from the LAN party :p
