Give up, just give up now.....

Ok, I liked to think I was handy with tools, and that my modding 'can do' spirit was strong, I believed in myself and my modding abilities,
then I saw this.......

Game over man, game over...
this guy has the attitude, the tools, the huge space and time to watercool anything and everything in sight, I bow most seriously and deferentially to his spirit and ability,
One day I'll have a garage/workshop, one day.....

Wow, thats alot of time and effort, that guy has huge nuts!

Although IMO if your going to spend that much time and effort building something unique atleast make it look awesome or perform better than anything else, IMO it looks messy and the performance is fairly average for watercooling.

If its just for fun then fair enough but if it was me I'd either be going for looks or performance (or maybe both!)

Oh the styling is obviously something to work on in my opinion as well,
but if the guy has the ability to do all that, the trimmings are only so far away for him,
I did wonder about the exchanger having that joining bar though, messing up the flowrate imo, I'd have had it all in sequence and that would've helped a lot, you cant tell how much water is just sat there not moving

Very true, if he's got the skill to design and build his own watercooling then I'm sure some cable braiding and spray painting would be easy for him.

The design looks like it would kill the flow rate (so many tiny tubes and like you said the bars on the exchanger) but his temps are ok so I guess the flow is fine.

That radiator could cool a small motorcycle,lol. I actually laughed a little when I saw all those tubes hanging from the tower. I want to know where people get the time to do this stuff,dang.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Its the creation of an idea I find appealing,
I find when I think of a mod, I'll plan it, then when I start it evolves, then when its 'finished' I see another thing or a way to make it 'better' lol, once he had the thing built I bet he thought, hmmm, now what if I?......

[rubix_1011]

I'd agree...I like this kind of DIY ingenuity. If I had the time to devote to this kind of stuff, I'd be doing this exact kind of thing...it's something we need posted over here.

 

[boiler1990]

Does that guy have a day job? Seriously, that's pretty close to insane.

 

[rubix_1011]

Yeah, or maybe his kids are grown/has no kids so there are a lot of extra weekend and evening hours to keep himself busy.

[rubix_1011]

What do you think the real reason behind the invention of fire and humans learning to develop and start using tools was?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

There was a barbecue on that weekend so it was needed urgently?
necessity being the mother of invention and all

lol... I feel old, i remember reading this on both tom's and engadget years back. Good times, he actually inspired to make my own parts, now with my CNC machine you can make so much more complex designed blocks.

He's the man who inspired me, I will always have but the greatest respect for him.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I saw your other post King and I'm expecting examples posted on my thread 'hack my pc 101' soon

[king_maliken]

lolz, i cant seem to find the thread, hack my pc 101?

 

[rubix_1011]

Yeah, I remember those posts...Tom's has actually posted some of those same PC's a couple of different times over the years. You can find some great ideas of stuff to try if you look around and have a decent idea of watercooling. On OCN and Xtremesystems forums there are always these kinds of projects going on...interesting to read and see how they go about it and their results.

Yeah, I want to see what other people of questionable sanity have been up to, might help potential modders out with idea's, tips for tools etc,
plus they get to see what kind of ID10T5 have access to powertools
its only a few days old but I'm hoping it'll grow so please add what you will
