I like it :D
 
I assume 2x3500+'s to see which one OC's the best? Were they winchesters or clawhammers?
 
so what plans do you have for the case? looks like some nice hardware, though...
 
One processor is a 3500+ clawhammers and the other is a 3200+ processor (what kind ??).

Then 3200+ processor is for an old pc that has a fried motherboard and etc form my dads work.

And No my dad didnt pay for the whole thing. I payed $1,500 and he filled in the rest. Whch is really cool.

The the case I used a plama cutter (SP?) to make room for the Radiator and the pictures of that shuld be up in a second or two :D
 
files are your friend;) those edges look a bit rough. may as well make them pretty (even though no one is going to see them) and when they're smooth, it'll increase airflow because there will be less resistance.



:p
 
and suggestions on what to do with the watercooling??

I always like help and etc :D
 
what did you pay altogether? just for the computer hardware for you, and without the water cooling system :)
 
Without the watercooling (which was ~$530) and the case (~$220)

I payed about ~$2,200 to ~$2,500 for the parts
and about ~$2,800 or so for the entire computer


I mean I looked at a tone of place for parts and deals and etc.
 
Holly shit :D , i did pay around 2000 $ (1600€) , im a little bit envivous ;) i have a radeon x850xt but you can make sli i'm not this makes me sad i'm looking forward to see what you make with your beautyful case ^^ . questen: is this case longer than the normal cases?

(sorry for my bad englisch -.-)
 
no problem man,

I have got a few German students in my High School so i can understand you just fine. :D

No my lan li case is not the larger one :( with is why i have to cut a hole on top of it.




Also Im going to install all of the parts in it tomarrow/Saterday so look for an update then.
:) :)​
 
O

Would you guys mind helping me out by finding some really cool walpapers, skins, screen savers, add on programs, and etc?? Thanks :)
 
Man, I don't know how you can be so patient. If I were you I would've chucked everything into the case and had it running off air 'til everything else was prepped for water.
 
sorry for the extreamly large pictures but I wanted you to see everything clearly

what should I do??

cut the wire?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!​
 
if you can see. the fan wire was glued to the card. (came to me that way)

i need to install a Danger Den 6800 Waterblock and cant get the Damn wire off!!!
 
If it wont come off, no harm in cutting it provided you cover up the bare ends. Easy solder job in future if the day ever arrives.
 
or even try just heating up a pin and then push it into it while you pull the wire, or you could try a knife
 
Well I used a wire cutter to cut the thick parts of glue off.

I then tried to use a rasor and then a even sharper smaller knife that my dad just bought
for his work. (he is a dentist so i got one of his really really really sharp cutting knives,
belive me this thing cuts, ill post my finger later :D)

But even in dispite of that, the gule would not budgek, and I don't have a sodering iron...
so heating it up whit that wasnt going to work, lol. I used a hot needle and it didnt work either.

So I tried to pull it and well quss what happend next :( it got strech marks and well forced me to cut it.

So now the wires are cut and I never even tested that card yet.

This must be the best feeling that I have ever had in my life :)
NOT :(

And if you guys don't mind please pray that my card works, It may just save my life or
500 dollars, lol.

EDIT: Also the male/female connectors are stuck together with something even tougher!!!
so now there are 2 great things happening now
 
O Ya updates will be posted tomarrow morning/afternoon

As soon as I wake up :D
 
Day #3 :UPDATE:

Finally, it is starting to come together. And all my waiting is starting to pay off.

After cutting my finger, having my good old video card be a pain in the @$$ which lead me
to cuting the wire, getting shiped the wrong size connectors for my water cooling fittings,
and melting my front drive bay door with the plasma tourch :D it has been extreamly fun.

Currently I am installing the wires and etc but here is what I have now - :)

All of the good old parts

This looks great

I know that you cant really see how everthing looks and etc (need to find a better place to take pictures) but this still gives you a overall good look at it. Also the tubes have a lot of slack in them... so they will look better in the end.

I know this is my first complete build and first try/plung into watercooling but what do you
think so far?
 
i think you should have mounted the radiator down inside the case with a hole above it
 
that was what i was orinally planning on doing but I just didnt have enough room for that.
If i wanted to uprade to SLI my sound card and etc would not fit. Also I only have 1 drive
bay open which I am going to mount the LCD temp monitor in so I mean this case is
full :) and even though the radiator shows, it just has to be that way.
 
Actually Im betting I Can.

Im not sure, but from the looks of it I really think I can
