Talk some sense into me

[zlojack]

Here's my situation:

I haven't even finished my current build and I'm already planning another one for an undetermined date in the future :D

I'm getting a vision of putting a phase unit in the bottom of a MM Horizon and then cooling the GPUs and mobo with couple of 120.3s

Please make it stop or I'll end up divorced and broke!!!

[Ricey]

The broke part is a given. Its exogeous and beyond your control.

You can solve the divorced part by building the current machine with your wife in mind, thus justifying the massive increase in expenditures for your next few machines.

Do it up dude! I planned my next one already to. Even picked up a few things for it already. I was going big but now going classy. Should be a nice build I think.

[zlojack]

Yeah...

I think I'll just go about it slowly and methodically.

Slowly collect the parts, the case and the phase. While it would be fun to build the phase myself, I'm not sure I have the requisite skills. I guess a lot of reading and studying and slow acquisition of the phase parts could work, as well.

Maybe next year. My current rig in progress isn't too shabby.

Nut up and go for it .... :coolup:

[zlojack]

I need to work harder....

Time to push for a raise :D

In a couple months i'm upgrading my H2gO to a a U2-UFO that i'm getting off a member from one of the other sites were on once he upgrades to then I'll prolly get a pedestal for it with the money saved by getting it used lol. But that's not my next build that's just an upgrade heh.

[zlojack]

Nice.

Well...I'm thinking I might not upgrade the hardware, just the case and the phase.

The hardware should be good for a while, I suspect.

[Sniper]

yeah same thing i'm doing actually just revamping with new cooling. Same as your doing I guess eh hahaha.

[zlojack]

Well...that's the plan.

We'll see if I do it or not.

I like the nice compact H2GO. My apartment is small.

Plus, phase brings with it a whole new set of headaches.

Anyway...it's not a short-term project, so we'll see if I actually make it happen or not.

I have a friend here in Halifax building something for the open market soon. His is complete he just needs the legalities of it worked out then the backing I think. It'll get you -58 with the current setup or there will be a part to get you down to -80 something. I'll know more on his progress soon once I talk to him again. Should be quite the setup though & all in case design as well.

[zlojack]

Interesting.

Keep me posted on that!

Cheers,

Jack

[Sniper]

Will do. I think he's thinking about a 2G selling price last I was talking to him which isn't bad at all!

[Septim]

buy buy buy... its a good investment...

[ballz0r]

I was thinking of building a phase rig next year too...

check out this bad boy from cooler express... pitty its not for 3 GPUs

what unit are you considering?

[zlojack]

I was thinking about trying to find a builder.

It's cheaper and I can have them tune it to my system.

My knowledge of this stuff is pretty limited, so I'm going to start researching first before I even begin to look at spending.

Hey dude are you mounting your single rad inside the bottom rear of your case or are you bothering with one?

Yeah, I've got a TC 120.1 on the way.

I'm actually going to mount all the rear rads and fans on the outside of the case as that gives me a bit of extra room for pumps and for the third GPU.

[Sniper]

yeah I just ordered a PA120.2 & went with Bix's for the other 2 just want to make things abit different right. I might do a fitting with the bottom rad inside first with all the pumps ect to see how tight things are going to be before tubing then decide if it looks to crowded or not. I know it's not even 2 inches but it could look like 4 hard to say right.
