Project: Frag'n'Fold and Jr.
- Thread starter zlojack
- Start date
Ok, so after a lot of procrastination and busy time, I got down to some work these past few days.
I am getting tired of all the individually sleeved cables, so I decided to go for a different sleeving approach for my PSU. I just did a PCIE cable and the 8-pin EPS cable to start and see how it would look:
Then I did some test fitting of the rads and pump mounting. Unfortunately, the filters I wanted to use won't fit with this rad spacing (with Thermochill 25mm, they would be fine but with 15mm they're a no go). I guess I'll go with plan B.
Anyway, two pumps will be mounted as shown for the chipset and GPU loop. Still need to do a lot of wire stuff before I move everything into the case. Also need to get my HK plated

That looks pretty DAM good to me....I like the pump mounts too....more pics!!...lol
So... much... win! :shok:
(If there were crying smilies, they would replace the one above.)
yeah, any updates?
Ok, so it looks like some clearer skies on the horizon :clap:
I've still got all these parts sitting here staring at me and I figure it's time to start doing something about that.
Time should permit me to get back going on this build! Gonna probably start by finishing Jr. with some parts so I have a working rig that's finished then I can get the beast together at my leisure.

Believe it or not, I actually got something done!!!
Found some time to get Junior together and up and running.
Final specs for Jr. are as follows
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P
i7 920 C0 (a decent chip that does ~3.8 GHz)
Crucial DDR3 6GB 7-7-7-20 1066 (these can do 1600)
WD Caviar Black 500 GB
SLI GTX 280
Corsair 1000HX
Watercooling
Apogee GTZ
Koolance VID-428
Swiftech MCP 355 w/XSPC Restop
BP Fittings (many types!)
Primochill 3/8" - 5/8" Blue tubing
Turned out pretty good for a "quick and dirty" job. I was originally planning to put the GTX 280s in the big rig (and I might still do it) but since I've lost 2 cards in the past 3 weeks (a 260 and a 280 hae both crapped out on me) I figure I'll go with this for now. The best part is, I can now concentrate on putting the big one together without worrying about cannibalizing, since this rig is complete.
I didn't take many pics, but here are a few:
Leak Testing
And now up and running:

Looks good Jack!
Don't forget to use this bigadv method to fold on it: VMware 3.0 && bigadv folding
One vm instance, pulls ~10,000PPD, ~22KPPD with the bonus if you let it finish uninterrupted.

Nice. I'll have to get that set up. Just going through Windows install hell so far. Then testing OC. Then foldfoldfoldfoldfoldfold!
Looks great zlojack!....those cards look familiar 
....sorry to hear the other 280 crapped out, we'll get that fixed up soon though :thumb:
