Got some new stuff today!

One from Primochill's new range of products. Their 'Zencoil'. Wasn't very zen when I stuffed this in my reservoir. Why? Small diameter res, large diameter 'zencoil'.


Okay, so the zen coil is suppose to sit like:

But for the purpose I'm using it for it ended up like:


It's pretty much stuffed in there. Hopefully there are to adverse effects to the reservoir. Because of this, the aquapipe in the reservoir can't be used. Oh well, small matter.

Got some case feet!
Felt a little cheated though. When I first saw them I thought they were compression fittings. .
They're pathetic. TINY. Only slightly bigger than a 10 sen coin (the old design). Guess I'll make my case look like it's floating.


Got a flow indicator! Anyone know what the purpose of the flow diameter conversion is for? It's beyond me.


Another from Primochill's new product line, 10 ft of Primochill Advanced LRT in UV Blue. Free SysPrep!


A close up:


Those interested in the clear version can find a photo of it on my bulk page!

Got a replacement waterblock for my GPU, from EK since it's a guaranteed fit. I really hope so.


"High Performance Watercooling Product


Guess that's it. It's just going to be a lot of buying for now because any modding will require more test fits, need some fittings and adapters for that.

great stuff...with nice picture summore...wish i have a camera like you

hope can join your bulk someday..

thanks bro. simple camera la, nothing fancy; a very old Canon 20D with a 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. hand me down from uncle. heh

it'll always be open. Just PM me if anything!

bro have you survey the price for that alphacool rad that you are going for? can let me know how much is it?

Why not going for xspc ex240 instead?

already have the rads. . cost me about RM 600 for both together, coz kena tax (I think large shipment). would have been less. if you're interested, let me know which ones you want I'll quote from PPC.

opted for this coz of the multiports, which I will be using for fill and drain.

ex series got multiport also ma...available locally if I am not mistaken...

btw pm me the price for 240mm rad & how much you kena tax?...if price difference is not that huge from xspc might consider getting it since its slightly better than xspc

didn't know they existed when I got my alphacool rads. haha!

but the finish quality for the alphacool rads aren't that great. I kena tax 200, IINM. gotta let me know which exactly you want bro, got like, multiple versions of 240mm. different thickness.

what kinda of feature are you looking for, anyway, since you said better than xspc. (in what way better?)

Alphacool's NexXxoS XT45 240mm (full copper). Not sure about finish quality of both of the rads as I havent own any of it yet but cooling performance wise nexxxos xt45 is about 1degrees lower than ex240.

I dont have any features in mind, only price haha. sorry turning your worklog thread into a garage sales thread

ok. will PM you shortly. haha.

don't worry bout it.

Small text update!

Ordered my SSD and RAM before something goes wrong with the world and suddenly all the NAND chips and whatnots go out of stock and prices soar like they did with hard drives. As it is, Intel SSDs are going up.

My 128 GB SSD and 16 GB RAM kit should arrive by the end of the month. Not disclosing what I ordered. Exciting times!

Only component left before I can get this rig booted is my CPU. Anyone feel like sponsoring me an Ivybridge K-class i5/i7? (I kid, I kid. But if you want to, or have one to sell to me at a reasonable price, you're very welcome to shoot me a PM )

Now, be as excited as I am and await my post for my SSD and RAM!

ps. you're welcome to speculate here! hopefully it's not deemed as illegal.

price goes up almost every few days. what is wrong man!!??

Had some time today, so I took photos of my motherboard!


They even specify where to plug up your SSD.


Just waiting to be inhabited


Also realised there are no proper photos of my radiator and pump top, so






Just some photos today. Hopefully my modding can resume soon. Been so long since I played with my Dremel.

Got to working in my backyard again!

Tiny update.

Got around to cutting out the holes for my fillports.


Turns out my method of marking the spots to cut was SPOT ON! perfect fit for my fillports and aligned with my top panel and radiator.

Next thing to cut is my stainless steel grill. Anyone tried cutting up stainless steel before?

really got some great items in ur mod bro...damn.. kinda jelly for a bit.
really want to try out that Alphacool thinggy..

thanks man. Alphacool thingy? You mean my rads? I'm actually not very happy with the finishing. haha! If you're interested in multiports, XSPC has. But their version has high fpi and thinner. Alphacool's is lower and thicker.

Yea bro..i mean the rad .. Alphacool's rad is better for low rpm fans (as far as i know) yet thicker.. kinda good for my setup.
Besides..i kinda like how it looks bro..

Gotta agree with looks part. More symmetrical compared to xspc. Haha. Just paint job and overall quality could be better I guess.

Text update

I FOUND MY HOLESAW

and because I was so excited I went ahead and cut up my stainless steel grill to accommodate the fill ports on the top of my case. No photo yet, unfortunately. Need to file it down and clean it up a little before it's photo worthy.

Also decided to add a little something to the radiator grill. Since I have excess acrylic, I'll probably go ahead and make an acrylic spacer just for kicks. It'll double up as something, but you'll just have to wait it out and see what it doubles up as.

SSD and RAM should be arriving tomorrow!

pristine~ do you carrying ppc order ? nice update.

Haha! I hope to share what's coming tomorrow. I'm so excited for it to get here.

and to answer your question, yes! I still am doing the PPC bulk. it's still in my sig. . what do you need? hit me a PM!
