hey i saw ur front panel u put the vandel switch damn sleek man...whr u bought it?

OR the new NZXT Hue.

but have to take measurements first.

Thanks bro! the switches I got them from PPC when they were on offer. You can get them locally as well, from lamptron (ask niclasteoh/lingloong). I think limhongwoon has as well.

The ones I got are delrin blue dot LED momentary switches.

that is a very nice switch! btw ur rig is awesome! fully wc..just wanna know how much does this cause you?

thanks!

Current running costs or cumulative?

If cumulative then I think past 6k already.

If current then I think about...2k? and I still have more parts to get.

oh thks! coz i'm gonna do mod after exam...got 6k budget but all tols i don't have, so gonna left 1k for it, now i think hard to get wc for cpu...

btw nice mod...wish to see more!

Just get a dremel with the extension, seriously. BRILLIANT tool. And a corded drill with speed control. and safety gear, if you're that kind of person.

Personally I got glasses, mask and foam plugs.

Depends what you wanna do with your WC really. Get in touch with ezzy or cyntrix. Pretty sure they'd be happy to help you out.

naiseee

Can't do any more cutting for the time being. lost my mandrel screw. . Currently waiting/searching for a replacement.

In the meant time, I've made some more drawings so I can finish the panels properly with straight edges(!)

Also, selling off the Bitspower 3x120mm radiator grill. Anyone interested?

Bitspower 3x120mm mesh grill

Such a sad waste. Gotta go find a replacement now.

Still hunting for that damn mandrel, so still no cutting.

Spent the day filing down and finishing the panels.

Got the switches to fit!


Don't even need to remove the original LED acrylic thingy.


But had to cut out the chassis, where the original power/reset switchboard was. Small matter


Did a test fit of radiators with the PSU I'll be using. FIT.


Resuming semester tomorrow, so log might slow down.

But will be actively procuring more parts to stuff in, since I still need:

Tubing
Fittings
Reservoir
7950 FC
Sleeving
Lighting
Odds and ends

look like pro modder here. nice mod bro.

can potong my side panel? hehe

just starting out only la bro. haha. but thanks!

sure! why not. if you're serious, shoot me a pm.

Sorry for the lack of updates you guys. Will be posting some photos in the coming days as my package from Aquatuning arrived yesterday! Got some new switches, a pump top and radiator grill.

Also, I'm thinking of selling off the current switches I have, 22/19mm(depending how you measure) Black Delrin/Acetal blue dot LED switches. Perfect condition. Haven't put up the sales thread yet, but if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM!

OKAY! an update, of new parts I just got over the last week.

I managed to trade off my Bitspower grill that I couldn't use 'cause of the fan spacing. Paid a visit to PPTEK in Subang Permai and got this(!) :



Thanks vlad and ezzy for the help and time!

A couple days later, a box arrived all the way from Germany, courtesy of DHL and PosLaju.



They sent me gummy bears, German gummy bears!



And other stuff, of course.

Got a new radiator grill, which fits!



Watercool's 360mm HEXX grill, 15mm spaced, stainless steel! So shiny.

This, from Aquacomputer



Inside is:



Aquacomputer's delrin DDC top. Very nice. Phobya has one which is full nickel! Tad more ex.

Also bought new switches to match what I have in mind.



Phobya stainless steel switches, blue dot and blue ring LEDs.

So much stainless steel.

A couple weeks back, got a pair of fillports from Pargon:



and today, APES.my sent me 2 units of this:



Thanks G.Bonez and Vlad/Ezzy!

Can get back to cutting up my case this weekend.

Going to riddle it with more holes.

Didn't manage to do any cutting over the weekend. Having difficulty sketching out the location. Will probably wait for a few more fittings to arrive then I'll try again.

In the mean time, I've opened up a group buy from Performance PCs. Anyone interested can check here!

pls continue the worklog bro.

Been such a long time since I updated anything. Sorry you guys! Been busy with a whole lot of other stuff, my casing is still the same condition as the last update.

I have however been getting more bits and pieces for my build so there'll be a lot of pictures. Eventually.

Been having terrible luck with the fitting of my stuff. First it was the Bitspower grill, recently it was my 7950 water block. Had to sell off a super beautifully sexy watercool heatkiller block along with it's backplate.

Fellow forumer shepard owns it now. Lucky bugger. Hope you're enjoying it!

Not sure if anyone noticed, but I updated the first post in my thread. No longer running an AMD system. Gave it to my brother. Will be upgrading to an Ivy system and I already bought my motherboard, an MSI Z77 MPower (!) a steal from Newegg at RM620 with shipping when it was on promo.


Okay, no images of the board yet. Will do that when I can set up a nice area and use a proper camera to take some photos.

Loving Newegg's box!



Got the reservoir that I wanted, a Bitspower Water Tank Z Multi-80, Full Acrylic! Looks like glass. Very nice build quality. Thick acrylic walls.


My koolance fittings arrived some time back so I could get to marking the fill and drain ports on my case. Unconventional way of doing it, but hey it works.


Still have quite a number of components and mod things to buy -

Components:

120/128 GB SSD (Crucial M4/Samsung 830/Samsung 840/Intel 520/Corsair Neutron or Neutron GTX)
Intel i5-3570k (!!)
16 GB of RAM (Avexir/Patriot Extreme Series/Gskill Ripjaws X/Samsung Greens(?)/Corsair Dominators)

A whole lot of fittings which I haven't totally figured out

Mod stuff:

Sleeving!
Sleeving tools
New hole saw because I misplaced my brand new unused one.
White LEDs! or the NZXT Hue

I have a bunch of water cooling stuff on it's way over, an EK 7950 nickel plexi block that will fit my card, some brand new primoflex advanced lrt and some other stuff that's classifed under water cooling but I'm really just using for aesthetics. lol

Got myself some MNPCTech case feet as well!

I'm just hoping now I can escape tax.

If escape tax, you guys here can take turns buying tubing!

A little stumped with cable sleeving my PSU. using a TX650M, it's got a daisy chained 4-pin molex which I have no idea how to individually sleeve. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA?



or should I sell the TX650M off and get a different PSU?

me too the molex really made my cable management looks messy
