Project: PrometheusCu

This is one of the most clean, stylish, classy, professional, and overall awesome builds i've ever seen. the black and copper are totally great together man, you have fine style. love the gpu waterblocks also. Can't wait to see the finished result, particularly how you will manage wires. But a clean watercooling setup is one of the most beautiful things, especially when done well. Rock on man!
 
What is the max Watt per loop you're expecting? The chipset/MOSFET loop can't generate that much heat... Dunno, seems a bit overkill :) The main loop could have 500+ Watt dumped into it from a quick calculation, so watercooling there seems perfectly alright, the chipset loop perhaps 100 Watt if you squint a bit?

Not that I'm complaining about overkill :p
 
@ZMTToxics - That's the best part. I love the military base.

@TooBooKoo - I agree, if there's space.

@MurderCityDevil - Thanks a lot man, I appreciate that.

@Elledan - I added the extra dedicated loop because I hadn't planned on cooling the NB/SB/Mosfets originally. When I got the blocks I figured it would be putting too much load on the 360, so I added a pump and a 120 rad.

@Markistehnamezor - Thanks
 
The sun is out so I got some better pictures.

Here is the 'fillport' for the first loop - this will be a bit more complex later on.

Here is the 'fillport' for the second loop, This T will be swapped for a Q and too will have a bit more added to it.

Here's where the Pico Rad will be mounted:

Here is a super simplified version of what will -sort of- be happening later.
*click for big*


I must stress that this is just the beginning, I have quite a few surprises left for this loop.
Also I will note that because of the second loop I'll no-longer be running the blocks in parallel - like my first diagram showed. The added tubes of the second loop kind of ruined that plan.

SO much more coming.
Tune in soon.
 
Great! I can't wait to see the temps. I'm curious since some parts look very restricting and i've never had any experience with such high cfm fans.
 
@F.E.A.R. - Thanks man.
@Vinnard - Check back on page10-12 I think that's where I posted the illustrations.
@silent-circuit - Thanks.
@edinator - I too am curious about this, but I think the pump can handle the load. I have room for two more 120mm rads and another pump wost case.
@Hilmarhd - Thanks mate.

PS:
In this picture:

You can see the difference in colour between the two tubing sizes - the colour difference is much more apparent to the human eye... luckily I'll be sleeving the tubes.
 
On the graphics card blocks, why did they make the only part out of plexiglass, the threaded part with the barbs, seems badly designed...
 
I see the complaint structurally, but it's not an issue - polycarb is plenty strong for the application.

They probably opted for the polycarbonate because the seal between plastic metal will be better than metal on metal.
 
I just got my receipt from CableOrganizer.com (finally, damn eChecks take too long to clear!) - I got the below:
225' - 0.125" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF0125)
200' - 0.1875" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF01875)
200' - 0.25" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF025)
100' - 0.50" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF050)
75' - 0.75" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF075)
25' - 2.5" DuraWrap Ballistic Nylon Side-Entry Sleeve (MSDW250)
25' - 0.25" 2:1 Heatshrink (HS2-025FT)
25' - 0.5" 2:1 Heatshrink (HS2-050FT)
5' - 0.75" 4:1 Heatshrink (HS4-075-FT)

To- be shipped on the 28th... a bit behind schedule, but hopefully not an issue.

I hope they put a O-ring on it to seal it, if so, then it shouldn't matter what the 2 materials are, in my experience lexan/ polycarbonate is really brittle, my maze 4 chipset's top cracked, so did the thermaltake block that earned them a line in my sig, also, my glasses have a little crack in the side of one of the lenses, from dropping them a foot...

You should make a video on how you filled your loop. It still confuses me on how your going to do it.

These are the fillports...
 
I haven't filled the loops yet, and wont be doing so for a week or so still.

I'm behind schedule due to shipping delays, back ordered items, and eCheck clearing times.

All will make sense once it starts coming together,
 
To vent air pressure in the case of corrosion - not that I expect any corrosion, but it helps to be prepared.
 
it's a shame you won't be able to see the custom engraved gpu blocks. i was always disappointed that the art on video card covers was never even visible in a standard mobo mounted vertically.
 
@MurderCityDevil - Remember this?
prometheus-acrylicmirror1.jpg





Here in the early hours of the morning I came up with a method of running the ATX and 12V lines between the motherboard and the mobo-tray - only to emerge right next to the PSU.

What I have come up with will involve soldering the power lines right to the mobo.

Also I'll be making a cut though the mobo tray beneath the ethernet port - I intend to solder a second port onto the bottom of the mobo, making it easier to wire the mobo to the Alix router.

I'll post a proper illustration - my brain fart doodling is indecipherable. Methinks it'll be tomorrow evening as I'm now off to bed now.
 
haha for a split second i thought that was a pic of a lapped cpu

but yeah, that will do the job well. it seems you really have thought of everything. keep up the good work man!
 
Here's a very quick and dirty diagram to roughly show my intent with soldering the ATX and 12V lines to the bottom of the mobo.

I had a short run of (1250ft, lol.. minimum manufacturing length) 24conductor 18agage 'PrometheusCU edition' ribbon cable manufactured by ITW Pancon especially for this (and alot fo the other wires) purpose.

Click to expand...

Dude, I could have got you 24conductor 18g ribbon cable for like, 22c a foot locally here... You had 1250 feet made for you?

That's hardcore.
 
This has a 0" pitch, meaning it has no spacing between wires, It's also black.

I called almost every wire manufacturer in North America, and a few in Europe - no-one made the product I wanted.

For some reason this is a very rare cable... or I'm just too damn anal.
 
Yep, I've got the same stuff, in 400m rolls in the china-town district of my home town :D

Might I ask you how much the roll set you back?
 
Far too much $$ - far far too much... that's amazing. I searched everywhere for a month.

If I paypal you some cash for your troubles, think you could hook me up with a roll?
 
I'll be close to $15,000 by the time it's done.


Thanks guys!

Quickie update:
After a lot of measuring, scoring, snaping, drilling, and filing I have this:
1 down, 1 to go.

15 gs....? holly fuck, lol....

personally id spend that on travel, clothing, parting, some PC parts, a nice watch....

thats a LOT of $$$. wow.

but the case is uber sweet, a build like non-other. certainly a build thats most $$$
 
Is that copper serving no other purpose than just aesthetics? And 15gs does not impress me one bit.
