evilsponge build log for project "Impact"

[evilsponge]

Hello all

[evilsponge]

Hello sorry about the first post I thought I'd be able to edit it but I can't. Anyway I'd like to introduce every one to my wc project. Since I didn't want a big MM cube the goal was to see how much wc gear I could cram into a full tower pc case. I call it project impact but it probably better named project compact. Anyway here is the progress:

[Ricey]

Oooo Masterkleer... You guys really like Masterkleer huh? I spent last weekend cursing and swearing replacing my boy's tubing. Duralene is what I'll try next time.

[Septim]

well which ever is cheap and easily replaced or just a stand in for the actual colored tubing. hehehe...

[RedRaider]

Look forward to seeing more...

He's one of the original casualties @ AT who got Aigo'd.

They made me into an adverb on Anandtech. :\

[TedShred]

I love my Cosmos, but the more I see those Lian Li's the more I'm impressed. They seem so nicely finished.

GL on the build!

[evilsponge]

Hey guys thanks yeah I have to admit I'm addicted now. Neakuh it's all good you showed me the way to hours of entertainment and well and an empty wallet LOL more to come I promise

Ok here's a few more pics but nothing on the inside yet as the inside configuration keeps changing I can hear neakuh laughing as i type this. I broke down and bought the official LL top replacing my home made job. It looks allot better oh well not every mod works out perfectly. At least I intend to exhaust the LGA775 path before going i7 hopefully we see cpu price drops soon ;).

Hey Ted the Cosmos is a very cool case to be sure I like the looks allot, but if you get a chance check out a LL in person they really are a quality case the fit and finish is beyond reproach and I'm not saying that because I have one I have owned many other cases and LL are hard to match quality wise the closest thing I have come across is my friends TJ07 by Silverstone a quality case as well.
MM case may be the same quality but I have no personal experience with them. I just purchased a CM 810 stacker the new rev for my home server with one extra CM 4 drive modules for two total. The quality of the stacker is very good considering what I paid for it but it is no where close to LL quality but hey it came with wheels! and a clear side window that no one can see as the window side faces the wine fridge oh well :D

Forgive my ignorance what is so good about Durelene opposed to masterkleer I thought both were made by St Globin?

[RedRaider]

Give us some updates EvilSponge...:D

[Kayin]

Durelene is a different durometer. It's inbetween 3603 and r-1000. A lot closer to 3603, but a bit softer. Also, even though I use thinwall, I find it's really hard to kink it (bend radius of close to 4 inches, insane for the stuff). Also, my stuff is 39 cents a foot.

God bless Sidewinder, who fuels my addiction 20 feet at a time.

[evilsponge]

Ah ok now that is useful the maskerkleer has a pretty good bend radius but I don't think it is 4in cool next time I need to loop up I'll give it a try thanks for the suggestion oh RRR I'm in the middloe of finals I'll post more pics soon go sucked into a new power supply black friday deal corsair 750w I considered the 1kw but then chickened out :D
