Project: Destiny [Update 02/06/2008]

Post by Skidd »

So my new project begins :wink:

So I orded a couple things which should be arriving today, some from the UK and some locally

First Locally I got the following coming..

Coolermaster Centurion 590 Chassis
Image

SwifTech H20-220 Apex Ultra CPU Liquid Cooling Kit
Image

Then my cousin is coming from the UK and landing today and she has with her..

RadGrillz™ Stripes 2x120 Aluminum Black
Image

Magicool 3 Port Plexi/AGB Reservoir - 250mm
Image

Feser One F1 Cooling Fluid - UV Red - 1 Liter
Image

Tygon 3603 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) Clear Tubing - 3m
Image

Hardware wise Im slowly getting together the stuff thats going to live inside, its not going to be anything special as this is my second machine which the GF uses mostly for minor gaming and work. As for the rest of my plans for this case you guys are going to have to wait and see :D

Well some of the stuff has arrived but with a slight problem.

The coolant, the blue one for rebirth and the red is for the new project.
Image

The Tygon tubing.
Image

The Alphacool 250mm reservoir.
Image

And here we have the problem, two of these arrived instead of a dual 120mm one :cry:
Image

But I have to order some more stuff so I will just get the right one next time round or make a plan to make my own.

Update:
I found a Swiftech watercooling kit going for a damn good price, so I took spent the extra cash and got the Ultra+ kit that has the Gcard and the northbridge cooler as well. I dont know if I will be using the northbridge cooler though so that might get up for sale at a later stage along with the swiftech tubing since I have tyrgon which Im going to be using for this project.

Anyways enough chit chat here are some pics I took in a little of a hurry...

The Box!
Image

I love opening boxes specially ones that contain such cool stuff in them (excuse the pun LOL)
Image

Swiftech waterblock goodness!
Image

What an awesome pump, I swear by these pumps!
Image

Last but not least the dual raddy!
