so far , things that i have finished ...

-cut the side panel for acylric.. measurement roughly around 2mmx420mmx580mm [done]
-fix all my WC gear inside the case (pump,nb-max and res) [done]
-ordered PSU sleeving gear and cable management stuffs [working on it]
-re-apply the proper way of TIM (OCZ Freeze) on my gtz, it spreads pretty evenly (checked ) and no dark spots alright.. [done]
-ordered a 120mm saw hole [done]
-ordered 5x 120mm fan grills [done]


things i still havent done:
-cut the other side of the panel (just for fun )
-re-lap my processor (if i have time)
-havent ordered any plexi glass/acylric yet [DONE]
-need a longer screw (M3) if i want to mount a fan on my side panel [ordered]
-get a diamond disc cutter [no $$ for it to expensive]
-get some crazy delta fans for fun lol.. [DONE, GOT 3x ULTRA KAZE]

well i still need some opinions on this:
-cutting a few holes on my mobo tray for E-ATX mobo psu cable + SATA cables [DONE]
-cutting the aluminium mesh on top of the case.. replace it with acylric and 120mm blowholes for fans (optional) [DONE]
-change from UV white tubings to normal transparent tubings as i dont have any uv cathodes.. only light blue ones or just get UV cathodes [DONE]

-pics will be uploaded soon
-did all of these with a drill and a dremel

here, my current side panel


my.. the paint pilled off =/ and this was from pulling a masking tape lol also there are a few minor scratches inside


whole setup =X



should i cut this? the alu mesh +X


is the tim i put too much?



-really cant say anything about the wires ._. [sleeving + cutting the wires on the process]

start the project when u got some photo of progress or shots of ur material or hardware on hand... =="

uploading.. imageshack is being an ass xD..

edited * done




my very first blowhole on alu.. its a Silverstone SUGO series.. for my friend.. did it with alu.. i screwed up the fan holes .__., did it with a dremel and without a fan grill haha..

shouldn't u spread the TIM instead of putting a strip there ? but i tried spreading mine and it's just impossible coz its sticking to the spreader.
so i've wasted a lot. coolermaster thermal fusion somemore ..

This post has been edited by cyewe: Sep 12 2009, 08:34 PM

lol no need to spread also can the weight of the cooler would spread it automatically haha i also thought need to spread end up using 1 whole tube of thermal compound ... like what u said haha

theres a blob and the strip way =D use google

and for ts i think the tim is enough lol

lol thats why i just put 1 thin line since the i7 die core is slightly longer than the normal core 2 duo's, spreading with hand/card seems to be impossible coz it end up sticking to the card/finger..let the weight of the heatsink spread on it, bolt thru kit seems the best for this job...


btw i just cut a square hole for my mobo tray.. now i can slot in the mobo-ATX psu and graphics card psu neater ..

next job to do, cut the aluminium mesh on top of the panel and replace it with acrylic (will be using scotch's double sided tape for sticking it... and also re-paint the case , its pilling off (fuk this is a very tiring job and $$ money)

This post has been edited by reiben05: Sep 14 2009, 09:33 PM

the blow hole was no good!!!!!!!!

duh.. it was without a proper fan grill .. cutting it mostly base on assumption..

btw i have a adjustable saw hole now.. can't wait to use it, waiting for clamps

hehe it was done by my friend =D..

hmm i think i mounted it correctly, mobo is an ASUS Rampage II Extreme ..hmm?



This post has been edited by reiben05: Oct 20 2009, 01:48 PM

probably around RM800 too.. with 2 compression fittings (mine is silver instead )

lol

i saw it wrongly

ure right..

is it your pump bitspower mod kit is the same like the URL below?
http://www.gammods.com.au/store/index.php?...roducts_id=1492

lol thats just the back and holder

the top and pump not included..
so u better add another AUD 110 min.

thanks cstkl 1.. will find the one u stated then


anyway still using the MCP655 pump inside rite?

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Oct 21 2009, 04:48 PM

They are just replacement parts for cosmetic looks It doesn't give you any performance difference. Best of all, it's not cheap which is why I didn't even get it for my setup

it gives u a bit of more choice on how to mount the pump @_@ and looks good at the same time too .. btw just got my ultra kaze's today.. 3000 rpm.. 133CFM, 48 dBa D:

yes its the same as that alright

5 PAGES OF BS CLEANED! WHO ELSE WANNA GIVE ME 1 HOUR OF WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!!!!!

mr reiben05... where did you bought the bitspower mod kit? did u imported the items?

o.o got ppl fighting my thread D:.. omg

yup bro.. its a MCP655 pump + D5 vario+ Bitspower modkit.. its gonna cost a lot probably around RM800++, yeah its imported alright.. bought it from acther a few months back


This post has been edited by reiben05: Oct 31 2009, 06:57 PM

k pics updated ..

















only left with mobo tray now.. ^^.. looks like i wont be having an internal DVD drive lolz..

yo reiben05... anything update on your case mod?

ur black paint seems very sparkle ish

waiting for my PSU and GC haha.. aiming for the Vapor-X HD5870/HD 5970(hd5870x2), i doubt i can fit another rad for the GC inside this case lolx..
asked a fellow forumer to sleeve it for me as i got no time and proper equipment.. should arive by end of the week

using metallic black spray XP

wahh upgrade the PSU again eh? Corsair HX1000 still not good enough ka?
maybe u can buy modding kit tools instead and start sleeving yourself

to reiben05

nice 1....
i like the 1st photo...

lol im using the OCZ Elite X Extreme 1000W.. modular =/.. the wires are pretty messed up and the sleeving that comes with it are awfull.. i wish i have the Tagan PipeRock 1300W..

hehe thnx bro , i have assembled everything btw, mobo, tubes and everything.. just no GC and PSU

i'm wrong... hahahahha... there's someone else using the Corsair HX1000 psu... so what happen to your current PSU? gonna sell it ka?

otw, using posparcel to ship it from sarawak to my place, should be here by tommorow , i'll post some pics later on to see how my psu is after sleeving xD

Nice. Waiting for updates

great.. so you're gonna sleeve it with the mdpc-x sleeve or just a normal chapalang one?

he sleeved it for me edi, chapalang ones i think xD

i striped all my parts back off.. gonna re-do it AGAIN.. since the cuts i've made are not straight =(..

WC parts im using now

EK MultiRes 250
Apogee GTZ SE 1366
Feser 360 + 3x Scythe Ultra Kaze
MCP655 D5 vario + bitspower modkit

MIGHT BE ADDING

Bitspower NB/SB Block for R2E
Bitspower HD5870 GFX Silver Block [MIGHT BE GOING CROSSFIRE]

if i add the GFX , i guess i'll be needing another rad [240]

as for the colour =P.. my uncle said that he might be able to get powder/ceramic coating service for me

nice.. so what will happen to your current NB/SB R2E WB then? gonna sell it or keep it?

woahhhh...powder coat...buatkan sekali blh?wakakakaka

u mean the NB-max?? one of the screws fell into the sink drain when i was cleaning it inside the toilet rofl, the rubber thingy also problematic, couldn't get it to fit inside lol, and one of the screws (the head) is screwed, its stuck now >.< ..

ahaha nak powder coat ape tu?? raidmax D:?

woww.. u must be very ganas to screw it (the NB-max) and then leave the damaged till cannot use it anymore...

a bit la.. menyesal now

oh btw.. the square slots on my mobo tray.. i just filled it to make it circular shape.. now it looks like a double headed dildo lolz.. will upload later..

powder coat...raidmax ak laa...hahahaha...nnti nak kalau ak blh dapatkan dremel byk bende nak tebok...compem chassis berlubang2...hahahaha

whole rig

gila kentang rig !
where's 5970 ?

camne ko pnye sleeve ujung kaler biru?
uv blue?spray?

your hole tak sand dulu ker? nampak mcm tajam je... kena tangan putus jari ni.. heheheheh

lol.. tunggu abah balik haji ^^" then he sponsor haha.. if not i just grab normal 5870 + WB.. even now using his HD4870x2 lolz

heat shrinkable o_O??

its actually quite smooth enough, gonna perfect it later if i got time, tommorow got agama paper T_T.. i sprayed it metallic black and the original colour is white.. thats why it look a bit sharp + shinny..

This post has been edited by reiben05: Nov 23 2009, 07:17 PM

owh...bukan heatshrik...if u notice...the mobo 24pin cable got some blue colour after the heatshrink...

now i noe...its the lighting...XD

lol ok.. btw im in the process of making the edges of my side panel as smooth as possible (no curvy/wavy cuts).. using a file to do this (very tiring)..

and pics of my res and rad added , the res gives some waterfalling effect (the sound) thanks to clawhammer hehe ^^

This post has been edited by reiben05: Nov 23 2009, 08:08 PM

still using the EK multioption res aa?

wah lao good job.. can see ur fingers have already taken a beating through all that modding!

i got girlish fingers + those modding really tore them up >.<

btw jeng jeng jeng



just bought a heatgun hehe for RM 17x , up to 500C temps (speed variable motor lolx), HEHE now im gonna use it for custom acrylic made brackets later on for mounting fans/hdd althought i need some skills first

btw i just finish filling.. dang it looks SOO MUCH better than before, even scrapped off the paint too (sending for powder coat), although it still looks a bit wavy and curvy but what the heck >.< too tired edi haha..





btw i just noticed somthing.. my gtz has a metal top .. didnt realise that haha.. normal ones have plastic ones





This post has been edited by reiben05: Nov 24 2009, 08:38 PM

that's because yours GTZ is GTZ SE...

wahhhhhhhh....later when u learn how to bend acrylic let me noe...wanna ask u to do sumthing...huhuhuh...

then u can open modding service lol...XD

lol ;_; didnt know SE comes with metal top.. no wonder a bit pricy , but i guess well worth it (imo)
next upgrade .. XT SE (after results come out haha)

ok boss.. will do, ^^

NEXT OBJECTIVE

-fixed my radiator mount (360)
-add a 240 radiator mount down

Updates to come

XT already comes with metal top on it bro.. if XT SE surely fully cooper on the top.. hahahahha

copper top

btw do u think i should buy a full nb/sb block for my mobo instead??

RAWR.. look what came in



Size Comparrison



gosh the card is big =.=" bigger than a 4870x2 lol.. 5970 is 2 inches longer rofl..

working on my rig right now

[/IMG][/URL]

the card runs incredibly cool and much more silent compared to my 4870x2 and performs equivalently or +/- against it..
and no stuters/smooth gameplay with the card.. max temps of the card was 60C @ 23C ambient..

This post has been edited by reiben05: Nov 29 2009, 12:08 PM

don't u have the nb/sb wb used for your mobo right now already? seems like you does.. If you're really gonna oc the nb power and put a lot of pressure into the PWM, the answer is yes. go for it!~


what's the difference between both cards? it's a same brand, powercolor. so how's the performance and the data sheet?

didn't u sell your 4870x2 already?

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Nov 28 2009, 06:36 PM

dont have any nb/sb wb for my R2E, something bad happened to my nb-max and i couldn't use it anymore

i got 3 total 4870x2 xD

2x mine [ASUS]
1x my dad [Gigabyte]

sold 1 asus and 1 gigabyte

the 5870 runs cooler, better clocks, less stutter, less TDP..

wowwwww.. a lot of 4870x2 unit aa... maybe can consider sell to me later with cheap price.

lol i'll ask my dad later if he still wants his GC.. see me upgrade a bit sure will make him also..

btw just tested a few games, fps just the same as 4870x2 but really, so much less stuttering

wow...nice hardware dude...rich boys toys...hahahaha...

haha.. EK 5870 WB otw ^^

Wow, damn power. Reiben can sell me your 5870 for RM500 when Fermi is out? I spend you KFC

ahahahaha...juz kfc only???hahahaha

sure bro.. maybe i can sell u less if free WB for ferni wb haha..

ok la tu xP

hahahahah great word to see from the rich boy..

woke up at 5.30 today and couldn't sleep... might as well fix my top of the case, work start around 7.45, finish at 10.00..

the cuts i've made weren't straight at all, (did that like 3 months ago)
so something poped up in my head and i decided to do this wavy design instead





2 hours of filling xD, it isn't finish yet, i'll try finish it ASAP

and i remove the paint (use a kikir), scratches everywhere but what the heck, its fast and im gonna re-paint/powdercoat it anyway

it'll look beautiful once i've finish the whole top part and re-paint it

x nipis sangat ke bro?nipis2 sgt nnti time filing blh kemek..

Added on December 4, 2009, 4:47 pmnak bagi dia beralun.. sebab the line before this was veryyyyyyy curvy and unstraight AT ALL..

This post has been edited by reiben05: Dec 4 2009, 04:47 PM

wowwww.... but i saw there's a lot of holes around there

yeah i know that.. that was my biggest mistake like 2 months ago rofl.. i even used the wrong drill bit sigh**..

i got my acrylic measurements wrong for my radiator..

This post has been edited by reiben05: Dec 4 2009, 05:33 PM

hahahha i think better u cut everything include the hole and put big nice acrylic there. at least you won't noticed the mistake anymore...

I think you should give up this TJ-09 and go with TJ-07 or anything better

tj-07 surely is splendid idea~ how about our next plan tj-07 bro? hahahahhahahahah

xD might think of that

u've been saying this since like 2-3 months ago XD

Added on December 4, 2009, 8:19 pmback to topic.. finished 1 side of filling..






This post has been edited by reiben05: Dec 4 2009, 08:19 PM

lol. other TJ09 user will cry when they found the one you did that... hahahhahaha

Reiben i think the wavy line idea is a good one.

People wouldn't realize it was a mistake. Also if you put a radiator grill, people don't see it anyway.

Good recovery

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Dec 4 2009, 11:19 PM

better than bad cuts =_=".. at least this is art lol.. more like for cover up xD , u got any good idea lol??

yup lol, might consider that.. looking for ACRyan aluminium radgrill but i dont think they bulk it here [alu] ... only plastic UV

Added on December 4, 2009, 11:34 pmi tried looking for TJ-07 at lowyat.. they said they dont make it anymore sigh**

i can try looking for it at forums but i'll have to use my own money haha [buy at c-zone, dad sponsor rofl]
rather spend some on taste NB/SB/Mosfet blocks

This post has been edited by reiben05: Dec 4 2009, 11:34 PM

woh...ahahaha...nice coverup bro...

anyway u can still find the tj-07 from moderno. just go to their subang shop with your dad ler... they can get you. i also have plan to upgrade my case to tj-07 at least i can go for quad radiator later.
