Sheesh i'm hacked off. I worked for about an hour on a piece of plexi that would serve as the mounting hardware for the chipset waterblock, and as i drilled the VERY LAST FRIKKEN hole...

Haven't felt this frustrated in a very long time...

its like that, modding is full of mistakes or misjudgement, or knowing when to take a break.... Dont worry Ettienne ive had the same problem with my modding. Just gotta leave it and come back with a free mind.

You'll get it right the next time around, as silv3rback said or even better. No knock your self over about, it happens.

Just keep doing what you do bud, thats Modding

No problem guys, i came back with a vengeance

Check THIS out! I'm so frikken amped!

I worked the for most of today (bunked class

) on the mounting of the Chipset and CPU waterblocks. I sourced koolance blocks for the Chipset and CPU, but i didn't have the mounting hardware, so i had to make some.

I started off with the CPU. I cut a small piece of plexi out of one of the sheets i have, masked it up, and started with some measurements:

After some intimate time with my scroll saw:

After that, it was a little more scroll saw work, and then SANDING!! Progress:

Test fitting:

Then all i had to do was a little more sanding, and then polish the edges. End result:

I THOUGHT i was finished, until i test fitted and saw that there are four capacitors on the motherboard that were in my way, so, i masked it up again and made some markings:

Finished:

Then i had to make a panel for the BACK of the board that will hold the 4mm rods that will come up through the board into the new mounting hardware:

Long boring story how i did it, result:

Sorry for the out of focus image.

Then i made a simple mounting bracket for the chipset block. There's no need for me to explain HOW i did it because you'll see by the images that it really is a simple bracket.

Anyway, here's the final result of today's work:

This is probably the most chuffed i've been with my own work in a while. These pic really don't do it justice. In real life it looks like it was made in a factory.

Too bad nobody will ever see this. lol. Oh well, i'll KNOW about it.

That's it guys

God Bless
Ettienne

Looking good there Ettienne, Banking class to do modding isnt a good idea but the results are great

If you get Ett's marks it's a great idea!

DUDE!? dont you think you should have used 5mm perspex?!?!? i wouldnt trust the strength of 3mm....

but otherwise GREAT work!

Rob~!

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 01 Nov 2007, 19:09

Thanks guys

@ Rob: No dude, 5mm is WAY too thick, unnecessarily thick in fact. 3mm is more than strong enough for this.

And yeah, like psychowit said, bunking a day of class isn't gonna do much. I actually DID go to class today though, but only for an hour, then i got up and walked out (was bored to death). It was every OTHER day of this week that i bunked! lol! It's cool though, i'll still make it

Rob~!

Why not? I'm using 3mm to hold down my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.

But Ettienne bru, looking good as always!

She IS beautiful huh? Sheesh, i seldom see someone who comes close to hhb's beauty

Ooh la la!

DarkRanger wrote:So DAE, you seriously gonna sell this mod? And for how much, is that hardware included?

Ag, i was thinking about it but decided that i don't want to. So much work and effort just to sell it off. I'll rather have it and not use it than sell it for money that i don't really need in any case...

Besides, i'll use it for LANs and stuff. The 4400+, 2GBs of RAM, and two 7600GTs are enough for a LAN machine

So yeah, i'll be keeping it

Post by **KillerByte** » 01 Nov 2007, 20:53

i saw the 2x PCI-E x16 slots, but they look very close together. will they fit 2x7600GT?

That setup makes for a good little LAN PC. especially if you mainly go to LAN's to leech.

DarkRanger · Post by **DarkRanger** » 01 Nov 2007, 20:59

and if you really want to, you can later upgrade the CPU and cards if you really have to. I'm actually glad that you are keeping it. Coz other people will never have the same appreciation for it that you do.
