Wokeh. Finally took sum time of gaming to take sum pix of everything up n running in Ch3@psk8. It's still really messy coz I havent had time to stealth the wiring. Did a rush install to make sure no DOA parts, n also was rushing to start playing games. Will update sumore after stealth wiring is done.



Overall look now.





Mobo area.





Close up of mobo area. C that blower fan on the end of the heatpipes. That's the optional fan from Asus. I hafta use that coz of watercooling. The usual CPU fan usually is enuf to blow the heatpipe radiator but on watercooled CPU like this there is no air movement there at all.





N here's the evil twins! Unfortunately there's no watercooling solution for the 7950GX2 yet. So far only Alienware has watercooling on the 7900GX2 specially made by Coollit Systems.




Will update again once I stealth the wires. Maybe a long time more since I'm gaming away all the time now.

Ian, I read somewhere that the area where you fixed the fan blower thingy, does not have thermal paste on it.
Maybe you could open that area, and apply some AS5 to cool it better.

Wah! That's gonna b a right royal pain to do. If u look carefully at it, the radiator is connected to the heatpipes n it's like a whole unit. Anyway, I dont think it's important to haf TIM under the heatpipe radiator coz it's sitting on the VR n it's a really good 8 phase thingy with Coolstack 2 cooling. The really hot bits r the 2 big mamas below.

Anyway just out of curiosity, can u post the link on TIMming the radiator?

Out of curiousity, why does someone who is able to afford a 20" WFP and a sexy motherboard and GFX card need to have a 'cheapskate' case? ;P

haha true. but his project is like fitting a proton saga with an evo9 engine. nice work there. an eye catching casing esp the water cooler set

hmmm, good job uncle... long time never come in here d...

really good job

but that case seem too big to me. tower casing.... can even mod and fit a vacuum cleaner inside perhap

btw, anyone know how to reduce weight for pc casing? my cavalier2 htpc casing too heavy(move it around freq). mod and cut a big window, reduce 1.2kg but still got about 11kg, just for the casing

any "Sparco' style weight reduction?

*i know it's easier just to change the casing but i like the casing. look slim(put vertically instead of desktop style) and cool(big window, removable side panel)

-using 1 bay 5.25 dvd+rw
-using 1 harddisk
-using chapalang psu because more lightweight
-using alumium casing.

For that...you need carbon fibre

If anyone come across shops that'll make carbon fibre side panels, please let me know too.

or better, try reduce the earth's gravity.

you can try to place some tires under it for more mobility

ian man...dis case where got cheapskate anymore..more like super rich...

yeah respect goes to you man!

hails DIY!

Well. I just like to mod stuff n I wanted to c how a rat piss damaged, total loss case could look like after sum tender loving care. Hehehe. Besides, I'm a Ch3@psk8 so the case is a perfect match for me.

Damn! My Sunbeam blue CCFLs just died on me. No more blue bling bling.
Oh well, will just get the new CM CCFLs. The new CM CCFLs r even brighter than Sunbeam now. N since I'm gonna hafta remove the dead Sunbeams, I'm finally gonna get down to Stealthing the wires nicely n will also do an all new window mod on it. Watchout for new updates soon.

wahlau eh...nice sia..from zero to super nice casing...but have to have nice performance parts oso lar..haha

better ask permission 1st lor..nanti kena charged at court coz curi hakcipta..

Ch3@psk8 has been decommissioned. All the hardware has been moved over to my new Lian Li V1200B n the new project is now called King Kong.

There will b more updates on Ch3@psk8 though. Coz it's now an empty case. I'll haf lotsa time to mod the case sumore. I'm thinkin up sum new stuff to do for Ch3@psk8. These r the things I'm thinking about for Ch3@psk8.

1. New side window design.
2. May make a window for the other side window as well.
3. Top window.
4. All new custom made front panel using acrylic.
5. New coat of paint. Mebe metallic blue?

Well, I'm open to ideas from u guys. Pls share any ideas u may haf for new mods to Ch3@psk8.




edit: this is gonna take sum time. My priority is to get King Kong completed 1st. After that I'll get back to making Ch3@psk8 even nicer than b4.
