clocker,

You get my first post...I had to come check out your worklog.

You are clearly a man that pays attention to detail. Have only read a few of the pages but continue to be impressed by the quality of the work that is clearly reflected in the pics you've posted.

There...I gave you the praises that we contracted for...please be sure to mail my check.

All kidding aside...nice work man.

Hi Reef.

Folks, allow me to introduce a friend from OC forums.
The Reef is also quite the artisan and a fearsome competitor for goods in the Classifieds.
A wily capitalist, I have somehow become indebted to him for unsolicited praise (really, I'm going to have to read the small print in our contract).
If we are lucky he'll post some shots of his setup which, judging from the purchases he's been making, is a groundbreaking amalgam of high-flow active and low-flow passive components.

Thanks, guy.

I'll give you a fotie a OE if you make another post reefa.

I'll give you a fotie a OE...

I have no idea what this means...


BTW,
I can now officially say that I hate sheathing cables.
What a PITA.
The main ATX bundle on the S12 is only 16" long, about 4" shorter than it needed to be. Previously I ran it under the motherboard which got me by but this time I decided to add an extender and do it right.
However, I did not want an extra 24 pin connector block cluttering up the space so I've de-pinned them, reconnected the fittings and heatshrinked each wire. Now I have to remove the end block to slide the sheathing over the wires.
The remaining wiring will be much simpler to deal with.

That's what I keep telling myself at any rate.

Thanks for the intro...I think.

groundbreaking amalgam? Easy to do...just put the cpu on the high-flow loop and the gpu on the low-flow loop and just let the NB sit there and pout under the fan.

And speaking of water cooling...Liquid3D sent me an email yesterday to let me know he is shipping parts out on Monday or Tuesday, so if all goes well that passive AquaCool system should actually be in my possession soon (along with a real nice assortment of German made blocks).

With respect to pics, unlike you, I don't have the talents to mod a case and make it look like it came that way from the vendor, so I go for what best suits my style/talents, which is the bolt together testing station type setup. I have one in the planning stage and if I ever get it to the point of it being worthy to share, I'll post those pics, otherwise, I just don't believe anyone here would be interested in my rats nest of cables and hoses.

OK, now that I've posted...please kindly send PPP (Pay-Per-Post) funds to my PayPal account at [email protected], as business is just getting off the ground and cash flow is king at the moment.

Later guys...got tax returns to work on.

I'm interested and I suspect others are too.

Post away!

I'm interested also.
Not interested enough to pay though...

Sprocket is currently formatting in preparation for my two millionth Windows install.
I tired of waiting for the rest of my waterblocks to show up so I toddled over to Microcenter and picked up some temporary Danger Den stuff to use. Filling/bleeding went well...the new reservoir actually works and the system is as quiet as one could reasonably expect.

I'm actually quite proud of this incarnation...everything went together as planned and worked the first time.
I'll admit to cheating a bit on the PSU sheathing...I ran out of the proper size with the PCI-e cable left to do but I didn't feel like buying a whole kit just to do the one bundle, so I just let it go. Maybe I'll get to it someday (doubtful) and it's not that terribly obvious (making excuses) so for now I'm calling it quits.
Frankly, I had no idea this would all take as much time as it did and I'm tired of all the work.

Temporarily, I'm sure.
For now, I think I'll kill the remaining Bass Ales in the fridge and just luxuriate in Sprocket's splendor.
