[Project] Water-Hybrid

[Demthios]

Alright guys just gonna give you a heads up on a new build that I'm getting ready to get started on. Gotta wait till the new year to be able to order the case because the MM case's are pretty darn spendy! but I think it will be money well spent since I need the space. I've put in out 40 hours into sketchup planning out the build and trying to get layouts done before I have to deal with that again. Here are some of the early ones that I've taken the time to render will post up some more when I get the next loop done right now just have the GPU one finished.

I plan on using the Bitspower 90's on the gpu's to make routing of the tubing a bit easier and seeing how they will be on there own loop not gonna be to concerned on the restrictions of them. I'm just warning you it will probably be a slow build don't really expect this to be done till fall of next year alot has to go into this and I'm just finishing up school so I have to find a job and all that so just a warning this might be a bit slow just wanted to start the thread so I can have some place to ask all the questions with out them being scattered everywhere.

GOOD IDEA STARTING early as we all can help in anyway we can .

looks to be an Interestion Ride along with you...
I myself love these kinda builds as everyone can learn from the interactions of the membership as we ride along with you on your trip in The wondrous world of a Mountain Mods build .. Looking way Forward to the build .. i myself am starting a MM build & sharing it with the members all the way also..

Okay first question for all of you guys that are running the MM cases. Which way do you have the front fans running? are the blowing air in or out? I kinda thought running them all in coldest air obviously, but then I would have a 9 inlet to 5 outlet....

[Septim]

i've always believe that positive air pressure is good, keeps the dust away from all other air entry points... pls correct me if i am wrong.. as more inflow less exhaust forces air to go out from other entry/exit points...

and with this in mind, the front of the case almost always is air intake

[Demthios]

Yeah that was kinda what I was thinking...but thinks for the reassurance LOL

The front six on mine are intake while the back 5 are exhaust and my PSU fan kicks in a little on the exhaust side so its about even, I get about 35CFM total airflow in the empty space between components in the bottom of my case.

Great Idea and awesome drawing...:coolup:

I got my :popcorn:

So you're going to put a phase down below there?

I like the look of this. I'm thinking about doing something very similar at some point in the future.

[Demthios]

Yeah gonna put the phase in the bottom for the CPU but the reason I call her a hybrid is because instead of using a typical condenser I'm gonna use a Plate heat exchanger and water cool the refrigerant. Kinda the opposite the most guys do for their waterchillers. Gonna put it thru a Thermochill 120.3 not sure what fans yet though...still trying to get the phase loop done in sketchup will show you guys after I get done.

Alright here are some more pics of the case I've got still trying to figure out the rendering program. Can't seem to get the blue plexi glass to be see thru on there so here are the Sketchup photos.
Alot of the pieces I've had to make or modify from the original. Like the case I got from RRR, and had to extend it out so that it was an Extend version, had to hand make the 4870x2 EK block, as well as the heat exchanger, Compressor. The two mobo blocks are just generically made because I didn't know what company made them for that board and it wasn't really important just needed a spot to be able to hook up the tubing to.

I really got to practice my sketchup skills.
Nice drawings and good luck.

[THP Dan]

awsome start!
I realy need to practice in sketchup now your making me look bad :(
What program do you use to rander?

[becandl]

This looks like a really cool idea. Bookmarked!

[LowBrowser]

I don't think this is going to get made, because the last post by Demthios in this is over a year old.

[becandl]

oh wow, i just looked at it because it was on the home page and some others commented on it. haha fail
