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

**Korndogg** · 02-23-2003, 04:52 PM

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.

waterblock..

dual radiators

the reservoir i made.. i like it. perfect fit

(notice how it bends around my sound card?

hmmm... i seem to have too many pics...
i'll see if i can reply with the rest..
< continued >

**Korndogg** · 02-23-2003, 04:53 PM

like the style of the front of this case? not the matrix.. not the dragon.. the scorpion! hehe

...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..

hope you like, i've been meaning to get these pics for a while now..

now it's time to update the page in my sig... hmmm

Sweet system

... 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!!

**Korndogg** · 02-23-2003, 06:26 PM

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

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

*drools*

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

PS. What are those two fans above the RAM?

**Mrfreddio55** · 02-23-2003, 06:48 PM

I'd hate to see a leak in one of those tubes.. VERY nice rig, i must say. Your case is HUGE!

Also, I suggest you paint the case a different color, looks like its only been primered..

**Korndogg** · 02-23-2003, 07:07 PM

Jagermeister:
keeps the ram nice 'n' cool

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

**Korndogg** · 02-23-2003, 07:12 PM

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...

**K()th** · 02-24-2003, 01:19 AM

I like the red X you have painted in the side of your case, although white is a boring color

. I wanna see them too...

**Korndogg** · 02-24-2003, 01:23 AM

yeah, i'm sorry about that... korndogg.netfirms.com isn't working for some odd reason....

there isn't a bandwidth limit on the free account is there?
all i can say is please check back... heh

**talldude** · 02-24-2003, 01:31 AM

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.

**Korndogg** · 02-24-2003, 01:36 AM

yeah, i know.. i'm gonna order the same stuff from dangerden.
i'm also gonna spend a bit more and get the "extras"... like, oh... you know... neopreme..
lol

**Korndogg** · 02-24-2003, 03:54 PM
