Clocker Come Here

[DWk]

Well, I'm not sure if you have crossed through something like this, but since you have the opportunity to do this kind of things, I leave the task to you :)

Hope you like it :)

:P

As I said, my point won't be the obvious one, but the "behind-the-scenes" one :)

Power supply is at the bottom. :)

Interesting.
There are several features that I like a lot...removable motherboard tray, the PSU placement, the use of thumbscrews.

The size troubles me though.
I'm having much better success establishing good airflow patterns in my small case than was possible in the Xaser.
My next case will be even smaller I think.

What was it about that case that made you think of me?
The excessive number of fans?

I admit to a fondness for spinney things.... :lol:

[Mr. Elmo]

and you make fun of abu for his "carnival rides" inside his comp :P

[atiVidia]

the extra room could allow for a sexy Aquarius watercooling system to be stored INSIDE the case LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

[clocker]

With my PSU remounted into the lower front of the case, my Aquarius snuggled into the old PSU location quite nicely.
It was a great installation...
Too bad the pump started to act wonky.

I started to get a rattling noise from the impellor.
The pump had been almost totally silent, but overnight it became the loudest thing in my machine.
Believe it or not, even with all my fans my comp is whisper quiet.
The water pump, even though it was apparently working fine, became a real distraction.
I was concerned that it might fail totally while I wasn't around.
I considered running it through the fan header on my board...that way I could implement a shutdown program if the pump failed, but I'm trying to free the board of any extraneous power drains, so I just removed the H2O setup altogether temporarily.
I'm actually very fond of the darling little radiator and I love the way I have it set up, but the pump and waterblock are marginal I think.
The problem with replacing the pump is that all of the good replacements have larger inlet/outlet fittings which will render the radiator obsolete...

If you figure it out, please let me know...

[clocker]

No need to be cryptic Al.
What do you think the culprit might be?
How did you access the pump...through the bottom, I assume.

What model is the pump, and who makes it.

Ugh, their used their own propritary pump? Yeesh, you would atleast think they could let Hydor or sometone handle such things like a pump.

Lol. Dunno... just thought of you :)

Hope it can give you some ideas B)

[clocker]

Well thanks,DW...it's always nice to be thought of.

[Weedy]

wow, that case looks really good, how many fans are there?

[clocker]

How many ya got?
It looks like it could take them all...

[clocker]

excellent.

[clocker]

Give me a hint here...what was causing the increase in noise?

[SciManAl]

clear

[clocker]

DOH!
No sh*t Al.
The impellor is the ONLY MOVING PART in the whole pump.
The question is why did it start to make noise and how did you repair it?

No offense.
I'm just antsy.

[Virtualbody1234]

He's teasing you, clocker. :)

It's not nice to yank Clocker's chain... :(
