[Hukkel]

Very cool components

And the pics are , too

Thank you

Thats very good

Could you post, how these Xigmatel Fans are? I mean wether they are quiet aond so on? Im intrestet, because I´m looking für orange fans too.

I will
I hear very good things about them though. There are also the Cougar fans. They are not LED though. And I will use a fancontroller with these. But when it is finished I will tell you about them

Your house must be full of packages!!! But it is already a awesome project!!!
Does your keyboard arrived just in that box, without any bubble wrap?! YOur G35....just.....rawr!

Keep it up man!

haha yeah one bed for guests was full of boxes. It is slowly getting less when parts are getting inside the case.

Yes the keyboard and G35 are probably ex-review samples. So they don't have packages anymore. The Mouse is new.

I have a Xigmatek Case which has the same fan! And I can say.....it is very quite!

Yes, I know. I decided, that I will buy the WongBoost in MarketPlace here in the Forum, but it would be nice to hear from the others.

Thank you

 

[Hukkel]

Cool Enjoy them. I will tell you how they work and sound when I have them in use anyway

Thank you very much. Lets get to that update!


---------------------------------------

Here's another update.

And then FINALLY something arrived for the United States of Americana. Unboxing whooooooooooooo exiting!!!!

What will it be?

It is .... it is.... YEAH it is my DWOOD Murdermod style radiator mount he made for me. It is gorgeous. *.*

It is not a 100% copy. Mudermod also had the rad being removable from the bottom mount. This one is not removable. The idea is to have a low tunnel under the rad and fans. Together with the holes you can now put the fan wiring directly through the hole and cables are gone. They come out as one bundle at the end of the case / tunnel. So clean. Great design.

I love it so much. Such a great idea by Murdermod and DWOOD does very good quality.

Only .. it doesn't fit my TJ07

Due to my amazing measurements. I will need to take a few mm off the top to make it fit. I am such a dumb*ss :mad:
Man I was upset with myself. Oh well at least it will then fit. But now I have to work on this beauty.

Then I couldn't stop myself anymore. I just HAD to see how it would end up. Grabbed a 3mm thick XSPC radiator I had laying around, 4 orange Xigmatek fans and the mount.

I love it so much. That black with orange.

Great Work

But why are these Pictures from the November in 2012?

 

[Hukkel]

Thank you.

Well this work was done on that date. I have a little headstart with the project compared to the buildlog. Because I don't want it to die for weeks.

Currently I am having some trouble with receiving some parts. These past 3 weeks would have been a standstill. Now I can do a weekly update and keep the buildlog alive.

Nice radiatorstand. You could remove the Xigmatek-stickers from the fans. This would give it a cleaner look.

 

[Balthar]

Wow... Just WOOOOW Amazing project, keep up the good work

Thank you

I am still thinking wether I should make custom stickers with the Dutch Lion Customising logo onto it.

Wow... Just WOOOOW Amazing project, keep up the good work

Thank you very much for those kind words

Hey we Need an Update

 

[Hukkel]

Hey we Need an Update

You are soooo right. I am going to do a few in a few days in a row. Sorry for the absense!

I got in touch with the people from KFA2. After a meeting by their marketing employee (whom I explained my project and what my plan was) at HQ he got green light and he sent me the following package:

I just love unpacking things

A reference GTX670 by KFA2. Awesome!

I didn't make any more pictures of the card itself because I wanted to keep it nice and spotless in it package. I will make a lot more pictures very soon when the waterblock and backplate will be ready for fitting. So don't worry

What is this? The box is bigger than what I just unpacked. What kind of trickery is this? :thinking:

So I turned the box around to see what was going on. Only to find a second package in the same box. Every box I receive should be like this, double the surprise!! HOORAY!!

I didn't make pictures of all that was in that side. It was a merchandising package containing stuff like pens, keyrings, various stickers, posters AND 3 awesome shirts. Not just a blanc shirt with a small logo. But a pretty well arted shirt. Cool enough to wear in public imo without feeling like a walking commercial. They're all sized M but I am 1 meter and 90 cm and it fitted fine to me. So it is more like a L at least as I usually wear XL sized shirts.

Beautifull work man. I really dont know, why i havent seen this treat earlier

 

[Hukkel]

Here is the beast that will be fitted to it. The thick 480 XSPC radiator. But it was all scratched and stuff. So I taped it up, sanded it, cleaned it and spraypainted it. There. Good as new.

Beautifull work man. I really dont know, why i havent seen this treat earlier

Thank you very much

----------------------------------------------

I have told you earlier I completely miscalculated the hight of the bottom section of the TJ07 resulting in the beautiful rad mount to not fit.

But due to new calculations I had could probably fix the problem myself and wouldn't have to re-order one. I just needed to take a few milimeters from the top and then it would just...about....fit.

Here is a picture after I chopped it. I almost had to cry modding such a well built piece

Here is one after I painted the top to make it all black again. I know I will never see it when built in, but that is just how I am.

Testfitting and another picture of the very nice mobo plate

I did some measuring on exactly where it had to go after testfitting.

Can someone tell me what went wrong in the following pictures? :doh:

Got me a big pile of black 6-32 screws from the states. These should last me throughout the build I would think

After fitting it (pictures later on because I also did something else) I sleeved some of the very nice orange led fans I have wanted for so long which will push (and some pull) the air through the radiators.

This is just to show....how I feel about the readers of this buildlog

Looks awesome. I really like your color combination
