The Scimanal Rig

Hello All,

By request I am now showing pics of my Computer... Nothing really spectacular..., but i have some pics of me rebuilding it again, and what it looked like finished, and what my "heatpiope" cooling sys looks like (bare in mind you are seeing the prototype version, it isn't pretty and may scar you forever... i have scrapped parts from many different things to make this... :D

Here we go... Mind you all Dial-up users can go to hell... because i am not going to resize all of these images...

Pics...


So as promised on staurday... early saturday morning... infact i have posted pics.. i will be standing by for the inherent questions that the monkey failed to answer... <_<

Here, this is from my MBM log file...(the file wouldn&#39;t attach right?&#33;?&#33; :blink:

I am going to bed guys see ya later&#33;&#33;

Al,
Your pics resemble an Impressionist painting.
Very arty.
Unfortunately my old fart eyes could barely make out any detail and I got tired of scrolling all over the place trying to locate a reference point.

I did recognize the Aquarius waterblock right away though. :P

Your system temps are very impressive, but I am still confused about the nature of your cooling setup.
Would you mind giving me the "SciMan Cooling For Dummies" version when you get a chance?

General pic of the piece of junk

OK, First of thqat is a gladware tubermaid thing, and that was all the strenght i needed to maintian the vacume required to keep the water boiling right.

The upermost piece of copper, holds currently ra-36 (or somthing of the like, car coolent...) ok, I stated earlier that i had a block of metal around this... Well, i SHOULD for safely reasons and to keep all things alive around me have one here, but like i said this is ythe beta and it works... (i pray everynight) anyways the metal holds the pressures inside that come around at about 400PSI...

The lower piece of metal foam thing, was to hold thw water in and let it out... The pipe takes the water out, when there is a certian amount of reserver water in the tank, and then the foam secures the hole i made in the gladware container, I used "Great Foam" to seal it all up, very cool stuff, comes out semi likaud/cotton candy, and then turns into a hard foam...

ok there is a nipple inside the pipe that leads down and away from the whole thing, and that is where the tube is... It is held on by suction more than anything, but it works... so i am happy.

hmm...

sany more?? It works as explained earlier... I have a better version of it being made in the procces, but then this version cost me 30 bucks to build...

The beta version only cools the cpu, and so some fans are present... But when for instance i install my vamped up aqaurius 4000 in there with 2 water pumps out of my dishwasher..., and blasting water at over 1000 gallons per min on the CPU, and then out the cooling elsewhere, say my Vid card, my 3dmark scores double...
hehehe, but all that is just plain stuff...

What do you do walk in the front door and tell everyone to freeze and then just take the comp and leave? lol...and what do you do take the graphics cards outa the box IN the store and put them in ur coat?

Firstly, in a victorian style house (lots of those here) the bedrooms are farthest away from the kitchen, so you raid thier rooms, of all stuff when they are having dinner... you leave they don&#39;t know what the fuck happened. Because if you are quiet, and if you stay out of sight, you stay out of mind...

SecondGrphics cards can be aquired afew different ways, but firstly day after thanksgiving sales events are the place and time to go... You can very easily blend in, and at my store it is body to body closeness, 600+poeple in a little itty bitty sotre... cameras can&#39;t see anything below the waist... and since it is cold everyone has a coat... now, when at these events they regularly have poeple requesteing big items drive around bag and wait while they load whatever it up, to avoid the front lots congestion, so you get some buddies, and a truck etc... park in back, say you are waiting for a bigsreen etc... Then havce your buddies go in... The backway does not have any security and thus you can say they looked for the sales guy, but couldn&#39;t find him and were simply coming back to the car the way they went in... In the mass frnzy all is possible... But with bulging coats... we can get as many as 4-8 vid cards at one time per person.. and typicly we can nab anywhere from 100-200 ram sticks, or simply as many as they have...

Now if you were to attempt to go out the front... a whole different store, you need a demagnitizer, or a way to get everything deboxed.. and hidden... But see i like the 9800xt boxes... so i like the car waiting method, plus you get in the car and drive off, with lots o shit...

Sad thing was is that i didn&#39;t find a way to steal 9800Xts from the store untill a little bit ago, so i guess i actually have purchased some major equ9ipment...
any thing else??

Figures. A genius mind in the body of a thief.

Life is ironic ain&#39;t it :smilie4:

And of course minus the 500 dollar XT you said you bought, in your last post.

Looks like a nice rig, though I never liked the plexi look, though the pictures are really grany. I take it your water cooling?

If so what waterblock, and what pump are you using.


Also, scimanal, ever have any luck with that Ram we talked about......... :rolleyes:

He has his own cooling system, John. Didn&#39;t you see his post asking questions about it? Uhhhh I think you replied in it :D

:huh: umm, i have an aquiaroius water cooling system that i heavily modified... But in the current pics etc i have my heatpipe cooler installed... It doesn&#39;t use a pump, but otherwise it uses the same as the aqaurious package it has a block etc...

I actually don&#39;t keep the heatpipe in for very long, mainly because i have doubts about it&#39;s flimsy construction... I am waiting to get my new one done... made primarily out of more stronger things etc...

Right now i am running on the acquirois 200 as i call it... It has 3 pumps, the normal aqaurois pump runs all the time, the other 2 can be switched on or off, ansd they are the jets that pump water inside a dishwasher, or more simply they pump allot of water... Umm same block etc...

Ahh yeah, of course, the heatpipe.

I dont feel like thinking about that anymore, so lets move on, lol.

But serious Scimanal, you know, Maybe 1-2 stick of 3500 Ram.... Two 256MB ones for some dual channel...... I could pay shipping, if you happen to be able to get them at a reasonable price, *wink *wink........

really 3500??? set in stone this what you want?? i may have choice in brand, what is you preference?

i will get 2 256 sticks of your choice, (or at least try...)

Shipping is of course your price...

Sci-man al: where are some picks of the 9800XT?

Preferably Name brand, but let me do a small list of the top of my head, in terms of one over the other. And I mean, what im really looking for, is 2 stick of 3200+ ram, so I mean, 3500, 3700, etc.

1. Mushkin, OXZ, Corsair,
2. Kingston Hyper X
3. Crucial, Kingston regular
4. Off name stuff last, though generic memory usually doesnt do as good in the overclocking dept, meaning that 3500 Speed ram doesnt alwys even run at 3500 speed.

How much to ship two stick to my area code, 27520? Any ideas?

We can PM to further talk about this btw.
