Since there is HAF 932 amd edition with the dragon.... so i decided to do..... HAF 932 intel edition also with a dragon. but still unsure whether to do a dragon, maybe u guys can suggest a mythical creature that can put up a fight with a dragon, thought of a phoenix b4 but i want to spray my casing all black.. shining black... and i have never seen a black phoenix before... some more i need to make way for triple radiator. I know haf 932 can support triple radiator but previous owner mod it so it can support double rad only ..... nvm, that is why i wanted to mod

i start this project 2 days ago... i estimated i will finish modding by 2 weeks or in mid of March... right now i am still thinking whether to choose either an acrylic for the top panel or order a radiator grill for top panel or self mod for top panel, but self mod will look ugly cause still newbie...


sorry i forgot to snatch the photos while the casing are still together because overexcited after i open a youtube video that shows a HAF 932 modding step by step

anyways this is how it looks like after dissembling it... drill the rivet out and bla bla bla








items i bought... i bought 4 can of spray... 3 shining black and the one with white cap i dunno the name but it's function is to make sure that the paint won't go off easily... the 3rd can on the pic was suppose to be shining black, but accidentally took my friend's flat black the sandpaper's grit is 600 and 1000.
btw the 4 cans cost rm28.00 and the sand paper cost rm2.30




before spraying... actually my friend told me that i don't have to "sand" all the parts... so i just cincai lah, since i am not spraying..(never spray b4 and my other friends compliment him for his spraying skill)



after spraying and applying the spray with the white cap... also at the second pic down there u can see my shirt reflected by the shining side panel .. actually my cam is not powerful enough to show how shining it is:lol:


this pic above, you can see i tried to spray the hdd tray and 5.25 on my own, since my 1st time i spray i got really excited, i accidentally spray the wall hopefully the neighbor won't notice.
u can see me taking photo of the side panel with my camera...lol... if i can spray like a pro surely i won't have to buy a mirror




btw i plan to engrave this on the side panel acrylic if i decide to choose a dragon...



i may not be able to update soon mainly because i am busy.... latest i might give some update by the end of next week

neighbor rarely go out..
but i don't think the neighbor bother... i think only lah...

no idea at the moment... currently think of acrylic or radiator grill (already pm one member to enquire about the grills) or find some unused casing side panel then mod it, but don't have tools

which do u refer the radiator grill is?

something like this
link

i thought you want the same like vlad's koolance shroud.

anyway since it's build on steel, go for it.. it's better than acrylic type which easily broken if mishandle the thing.

is aluminium grill

i also consider getting ones like vlad's.. but dunno how much it cost, looks like it's gonna cost a bomb.. zzzz

wah.. fast2 update..

trying to, but maybe latest update will be next weekend.. some more need to find some suitable parts 1st... and this coming week i will be kept busy by assignments..

maybe you should take a look on TFC rad grill too.. it's made by aluminum (black color) and it rock solid with a thick build.

Added on February 28, 2010, 5:17 pmlol.. the steel i meant here is not a vlad's shroud, that one is made by alu... but it's the one that mato89 choose from. you can take a look at the link he given before

Added on March 9, 2010, 1:29 amthe pics were so blur.. i cannot see it clearly, so cannot make sure is it the image of barb or the compression fittings...

is it your tubing size 7/16?

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Mar 9 2010, 01:29 AM

maybe u din read this lol

so excited... hahahha

yes i see your words there.. but i didn't see the things well.. hahahahahahahah

tomorrow... lol... cause my camera outta battery...

Bro , use antivibration camera . U using what camera ?

sweet stuff bro

don't have dslr.... sorry... will snap better picture later... gimme 1 hour...

this saturday will be running leak test... 1 hour leak test lah..



latest update due to special request



i was suppose to pay my phone bill, then i park in front of hardware shop, my hand so itchy that i couldn't "tahan" so go inside and buy some clamps... damage is rm5.70

This post has been edited by mato89: Mar 10 2010, 01:11 AM

now i can see it clearly dude, the barbs from bitspower. i thought you're grabbing some compression fittings earlier

so your tubing is 1/2" or 7/16"? if it's a 7/16" you don't even need a clamp.. it looks more terrific without it like a million-dollar-pc rig

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Mar 10 2010, 01:18 AM

7/16".... ya.. now i realize, i tried to fit those tubings into the pump, so damn hard, luckily i got some secret "technique"

use lighter or push it slowly.. it can be fit by then.. without using clamp is better because it's not easy to take off. 7/16 when put on the 1/2 barbs is super tighten already man.... it looks better without clamp

clamp can spray black... hahah... nevermind... will see how leak test goes..

hahahaha better you fit the tubing to barb first.. let see, how hard to go...

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=212017

best clamp eva

hahahahaha if like that.. i sokong... better looks

anyway mato89, you're using feser cooling fluid, need no worry if there's leaking somewhere.. but if can, please don't because it's expensive.... i already tested it while my pc is running.. like nothing happen...

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Mar 10 2010, 03:15 AM

i know i know... i am worried la.... since the intake and discharge head for the pump should be tight, then ok la, i should be worried about the waterblock and reservoir... thx for thos advice above

wuiyoh...expensive coolant but very worth it...wonder if u shud get some...

at first i doubt that it will be enough but, 1L is a lot.

ahahahahaha...but nevertheless someday ull have to drain the loop right...n i absolutely hate it if i had to halt anything i felt like doing just because the thing needed is not there...

ever considered using food dye + distilled water??

but the colour of the dye fades after some time..

lol... distilled water i can just "take" from laboratory... lol... there is even deionized water... water have so many type, can do review on which type is better lol....

now that u mentioned it...next week i go lab find those things if available... lol










mau acid, alkali, ethanol or anything chemical just pm me... hahaha, can even prepare which concentration u prefer lol

wuiyoh...i wonder if u have a fluid that very slippery like oil but can carry a lot of heat...got alittle project...

why oil??? even if the oil is in solid form, it would gradually melt if you paste it onto hot surface and it might or will ruin your hardware... but if you still insist, then i could only recommend petroleum jelly or also known as vaseline...
oil has higher boiling point than water, but they could conduct heat equally the same.. but if you include solid, copper is the best, since tuniq tx3 is 6.00 something (refer to label behind), the second choice to replace it is mercury, but, u know lah mercury very dangerous...

everything including Feser cooling liquid will fade after some time laa reiben

a clean without pollution distilled water will do... righttttttttttttttt....

yes siput, you can try out a mineral oil as a solution. maybe you can pour down the oil into your rig .. no damage bro, believe me

hurmmmm...mineral oil motor?will try dude...thanx...

seriously?

is it april foot's yet ?

i didn't know that lol

Hard to find mineral oil

and i thought mineral oil would stress ur pump too much

silicone oil or parafin, maybe?

depends on the viscosity of the liquid... oil can store more heat compare to water..

mineral oil for food ler.. not the motor one...

that motor engine's mineral oil is too thick in viscosity... it will put a burden to your pump...

owh ic ic... i tot u wan to use it to replace thermal paste

lol... ok ok...

errrr to replace thermal paste? ohhhh no.. please don't... even you get a good thermal pad it's not as good as thermal paste...

so, how about your setup? already finish or not? go snap a picture by then,,, we want to see it

This post has been edited by kInOzAwA: Mar 13 2010, 06:26 PM

should i say like 70% done... lol... don wanna snap pic 1st... not much progress at all

it look stun if you make it little by little by post its pictures.. let's see the part by part on this worklog pal

nothing to stun about lol... it is just simple modding.
1.spraying the whole case with shining black spray.
2. mod the top panel so 360 rad can fit.
3. and er... (secret)

just a simple mod lol.... shy to show, when all worklogs are overkill here.

still no update?

this week i am waiting something from mr.vlad, but seems no news yet, so i just have to proceed...

i think you need to do some cable management instead bro. It's a bit messy i thought. For WC, it's not bad for the first time by doing setup like that. Maybe you can relocate back 'em for better cable management and neat WC setup. Remember, less tube is better than long tube if you'd WC it.

could use some MDPC-X Sleeves

and i think red coolant would look nicer ^^.. just my 2 cents

This post has been edited by reiben05: Mar 28 2010, 03:44 PM

Where got sell it ?

u mean MDPC-X? lol... you can get thru Clawhammer.

clueless already.. anyway i'll relocate everything soon..

i'll sleeve as soon as i bought a new psu...

don't want red... too "garang" .... my pc is supporting earth hour hahahaha because of green color hahaha

This post has been edited by mato89: Mar 28 2010, 06:37 PM

then grab DFI mobo instead of red Asus R2E lerr...

baru mau buy owikh punya... tapi sold out ...

actually i prefer black pcb as when i turn my lights off at night, things look wireless and cableless, provided i sleeve the psu and do something about the red sata cable

u sacrificed ur rear exhaust fan for the reservoir??

id put the reservoir in the drive bay next to ur pump or in the space between ur PSU n HDD bay...then put the rear exhaust fan instead.

if UT is not available then, grab DK instead. Supposed it can do the same, just it lacks of digital PWM, some accessories and mobo's heatsink only...

yep.... what to do...won't put at hdd bay cause some of my personal stuff which have sentimental value to me i keep inside my rig... haf932 is kinda small too... maybe tj07 is coming

i don't think haf932 is small for your setup right now unless you're really want to put 2 x rads and quad sLi or CF-x on WC too.
i just saw a CPU wc only.. it supposed can do well like what madman said. even if you grab TJ-07, you'll still say it's not enough and small.. believe me.. you need to arrange back the CM and tubings as well..

maybe can set this as a simple mod but still it is nice


just my 2cent, what if your Intel theme, turn the color into shiny blue

well..it is big enough right now, but later it won't be enough.... wanna put it some gc in... right only using tiny 4670.....

actually i wanna name it "haf 932 simpe mod" but someone started using it earlier than me

wanna make it blue later when i reposition the wc and add more things lol... some more my mouse and kb and blue color.. lol

That's not bad for a start Of course you can still meddle around further and if you get bored of your HAF 932, you can have my ATCS 840 (can PM to discuss) I'm looking at Lian Li again.

thanks

wait for me to get bored with this case lol

HAFF is huge, i thought it small! LOL!

it also depends what you stuff inside your casing... sometimes even fulltower can look like mid tower if your casing is packed
