Richard, Got my Extended Ascension CYO and water barrel from Ben at Mountain Mods on Friday. Let 'The Beast' build begin! I have you to thank for my current direction. I only hope my build turns out as fantastic as yours. Truly a work of art and love. Kudos to all your wins and accolades. You...

Acrylic is an unforgiving bitch of a mistress. Sorry about the bar and your fingers.

That is just sick! Quality build! Very impressed.

Here is how I finished plumbing the line. I didn't have enough red fittings to do the whole thing. Oh well. You know what happens. Here are the rads with their new red side moldings. Sweet looking eh? Test fit. Here is the finished board side of the plumbing. After the...

Here is an overview of the water block I purchased for minibeast and a quick how-to on installing the back plate. The Heatkiller CPU block is really nice in my opinion. The un-boxing. The screws and stand-offs were not connected like that. That was me, so I guess this is not a REAL...

Tiny update. This is where I left off. Almost done! Stay tuned!

Nope, not yet. Won't happen until I return from Oregon. Hopefully, I can get the loop finished on Friday. We will find out then.

Dear [H]'ers, Tomorrow is my big trip to Oregon to visit Mountain Mods! I'm super stoked. I'll make sure to take a lot of pictures. Wish me luck! Stay tuned!:)

Dear MouseTrap, thanks!

Dear Octonaut, yea, what's the hurry. Your current case should do you well. Waiting for stuff to be shipped sucks!

Dear deadlift1, Yea, most people can't afford to have GTX 690's laying around, let alone ones with waterblocks attached. No, you cannot fit a pair or 360mm rads. One will fit on the front, but not the top. Ask away. I try and make time for all my [H] people.

Thanks!

Dear DraginDime, Yea, the gold is worse than the blue, but I really don't spend a lot of time gazing inside my case. I'm super jazzed because I leave for Oregon tomorrow to visit Mountain Mods! I have never been to Oregon before. I hear it is really green, compared to the Arizona dessert I...

Dear Octonaut, Thanks. You can always change your mind if the funds allow. I hope you enjoy the NZXT.

Dear Jorona, Your guess is as good as mine. We are going to find out. I let you all know.

Reserved!

Since I'm in limbo waiting for my custom case to be manufactured by Mountain Mods, I figured I'd update my previous water cooled build (Beast 2.8). There is a build thread under the same name if you'd care to see what went into Beast 2.8. Short and sweet, that system consisted of an Intel i7 -...

Justintoxicated, I was using mct-40. A non-conductive fluid I purchased from Danger Den a while back. It doesn't state 'anti-corrosive' anywhere on the bottle. It was a little like anti-freeze. It was something you didn't want on your skin, but is sure was non-conductive. Had a spill or two, and...

That is a freaking sick desk my good man! Awesome work. I'm just floored. Speechless.

I did not consider that. Hmmm. Like I said, I'm no expert. Then, the only complaint I really have is the water block material. It's funny, I just got done tearing down an H2O build I did some time back that has a custom made 5.25" bay reservior made of 6061 aluminum. I opened it up expecting...

Thanks gigatexal! Nothing excells like excess. LOL!

Here is what over $1400 in red Bitspower fittings looks like (thanks and kudos go out to Performance PC's). I went a little overboard I know, but these red fittings are so cool looking. I actually have more coming on Tuesday. Call me crazy. Bulging bag. Say cheese! Stay tuned!

Here is my newly transplanted dialy driver. Nothing to special: Cooler Master Storm Stryker case, Asus P8P67 deluxe, Intel i7 2600K (with a Corsair H70), EVGA 680 GTX (with backplate preinstalled), Corsair AX860 PSU, 16 GB Corsair 1600MHz, 2 TB WD Black spinning Win7 home premium. Waiting for...

Since I'm having to wait for my case to be made, I figured I'd get a new home for my current machine. The case is a Best Buy Rocketfish made by Lian Li. I was in a hurry to put her together so I didn't pay much heed to cable organization. Going to try and spruce her up a bit this go-round. The...

Thanks Octonaut! You'll be happy with the two 760's as long as your not going with multiple 30 inchers.

All the ones by the expansion slots and the sound chip. I see black with a round silver top. Those are not solid!

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the capacitors. They couldn't use all solid caps? They did on the Z87-Deluxe (I know cause I have it). That just pisses me off. And don't get me started on the aluminum block! I have had aluminum parts that were anodized in a loop. The anodize doesn't...

More package goodness. I love getting things delivered. Especially to me! More hot-swap bay device goodness. I found this on TigerDirect. Seems better than the Akasa. Time will tell. These actually come all the way out! Back This is more suited to a SAS connector...

Just got another package in the mail. Hot swap bay device goodness. Haven't had a chance to try it out. It seems this device is more suited towards thicker mechanical 2.5" HHD's. There is a lot of play (top to bottom) with an SSD...

Your build turned out sweet. Clean looking. I hope it fulfills your needs for a couple weeks. Always something new around the corner. LOL

Thanks for the info Island. Yea, I found them. OOS! Sucks! Even OOS on performancepcs. I will get one. Eventually. If anyome has the three slot version, I will buy it from you. Make me an offer. I will pay more than retail. I must be crazy! Certifiable.

Don't feel bad. I paid $1000 for both mine. They were brand new though.

Hey Island, where did you get the 'Shiny EVGA Sli bridge'? That is slick. Thanks Stevennoland

Lovin that front panel. Gonna look sweet!

Sweet build! Neat idea. That mobo IS tiny. Keep up the great work.

Because of my condition, If it takes longer than an hour to drive, forget me showing at all. Eugene Oregon is a flight trip. I'll more than likely fly into Portland. Ben @ Mountain Mods has to go into Portland, so he offered to pick me up there. If we can't swing that, I'll still probably fly...

Dear Quicksilver_; Thanks. No prob. Thre are a lot of times I'll look in on a build thread and not read a thing. Just looking at the pics. So, I'm just as guilty.

Dear ccityinstaller, Sorry to hear abot your friend. I pray God's will be done. I pray I can hang around as long as the good lord has intended. Plan on staying with SB-E cause Intel is supposedly releasing a new proc later this year. Don't have any info on it yet. Power savings are mute...

Thanks Bosebeer! Bad ass eh? May be a little. Crazy? Absolute! This build is approaching about $6000.00 . With most of that cost going towards the watercooling and case. 14 radiators do add up. Not to mention all the things between the rads. As far as a living? When I was able to work, I was a...

Just got a package in the mail. I happened to be scanning ebay and did a search for 'Bitspower' and came upon an auction for a lot of misc. Bitspower fittings. $100 with free shipping! I couldn't resist. Check em out. This was a weird one. These are not bitspower...
