whose house are big enough and nobody at home?

joking.

Just like to share a little thing i did on my CM690 with a tight budget WC kit.

Initial plan is to fit a 120mmx2 rad on the top, unfortunately it is not possible along with the fans. So i thought of installing the fans outside of the case, a little modding is required, i currently dont have any proper tools so this is the temporary result.

Did some rewiring while im at it.. and got myself a fan controller to minimise the noise =)

Whats new here is the whitewater CPU block, self modded nirox P3800 pump, gas tubes !!! (it was the cheapest solution and the only 1/2" tube that i manage to find around hardware shops...) then again, it looks pretty cool though the current rad was bought from BST dude for only RM60 , it is a thermaltake dual120mm rad (using this while waiting for my cool-trek from moderno XD)

So.. basically this is what it looks like.





And the naked view (without side/front/top panels)




The Thermaltake 120x2 radiator





This would be the cacing escape hole



And this would be their home
Most of the cables are wired through the holes at the 5.25" bays by removing the molex so that they cant be seen passing through the side.



The 2 120mm fan on top



UV-fied a little

now with covers on ( there are still work to do for the meshed grills, as said i dont have any tools for now so im using the anti-slip pads to cover the ugly part that was sawn off to give more space for the 2 fans to fit )



I noticed the sidepanel fan is causing 2 of the tubes to kink pretty badly when sidepanel closed.



so.. a simple solution install it outside !!!



and to minimize cacings.. this is what i did with the thermaltake fan and the fan controller



the reservoir is tied via zipties (was initially thinking to DIY a reservoir.. but was poisoned by moderno and his demo rig )



This is where the pump power cord exits



Well.. thats about all for now, will update once my new rad arrives.. and im thinking to change the tubes, it looks pretty awkward

Honestly, these tubes are quite soft and nice to bend, does not kink easily, worth every penny. Only cost me about RM2 per feet. But they aren't exactly the looker

here is the pics of my stacker stc-01 after some minor updates...

nice cm690 dude

wah many many pictures.......nice...... see this weekend got time or not, i also put mine again hehe

lichyetan, put a fan grill to ur fan very dangerous on the rear exhaust there........

AoiNatsume , what cpu block u using, why u need y connector there..so weird......btw very nice setup there wor hehe.....show us some temperature also lar.......... bila mau put ur GTS with WC too ??

its a 2nd hand whitewater block bought from a friendly forumer here, there are 2 outlet from the water block and 1 inlet. GPU block would be the next thing in my list after the rad

As temps, not very good at the moment, i think most likely because of a lousy rad which is bottlenecking the water flow since it was originally a 3/8". Still a good buy though since its only RM60 , ill post up some temps on WC thread when my cooltrek DP 1202 arrives

@ AoiNatsume - Wah I din know those gas tubes were UV reactive. Very nice UV look when they glow blue. That kink in the 2 into 1 joint hose, u can put a zip tie right at the middle point of the kink n it'll make ur hose nice n round again. Try that.

oh... thanks for the tips, will try it when i get home

Yea, the tubes are slightly blue actually, initially, i pictured the green liquid and the white mesh inside the tubes to glow.. but it turns out the light blue is glowing instead, though it actually look pretty good heck it cost me only about RM2 per feet

glad to see ur WC stuffs inside the CM690 there

not bad eh for the gas tube....if got stamp AC Ryan, Thermaltake, etc brand on the tube...sure cost RM 10 per feet...ekeke

moderno will start selling gas tubes already i guess hehe..........

lol lol ahaha, actually there was another tube i bought before this one im currently using. Im very sure it would look much nicer than this blue ones, problem is, that tube is too hard.... and might give lots of pressure to the component attached to it. Its clear acrylic and with white threadings. I might go search for more cheaper pipe solutions from other hardware shops, will share with u guys if i find any good ones

When you put to 2 x 120mm fan outside at the top, u still can close the top cover?

no i cant, thats where the cutting comes in. First you have to cut off all the plastic grills inside, then cut off the mesh grills to bend it to shape and allow the fans to be placed. Its just nice, =)

i just want to share with u guys all these CM casing. but it's from another forum.
if this post is againts the rule, moderator may delete it.

i like the Cosmos and Lumina mod.

woah.. i love the lumina, slr was pretty good too...

nice WC setup you got there guys
and what's that about gas tubes? you're using gas tubes for your WC tubing?

@AoiNatsume

fuiyoh nice wey ur setup haha, next would be me wey but nid 2 mod the casing first

yala..kena poison from betwen u and moderno xDD

@Ryo
If you'd look at my tubes properly, i think its not hard to figure out that tube is it

Indeed its the gas tubes, economical and it does the job =)

@bryanyeo
ahaha, the poison is too sweet to "not" swallow lolx
still waiting for the rest of my stuff.. damm, "fat mou" liao.

btw, i need to do some minor cutting oso la, i think the rad is gonna be placed on top, which means switched with the fans in my current setup, fan on top not very effective la , need to remove the grill as well... affecting the airflow quite badly. Ill need your help again bryan in some cutting
