This looks quite interesting. I look forward to your worklog.

 

[SoteloMichael]

looks really cramped, and no cable management, but the fact that you got it to fit in such a small case is a +1

 

[Leman]

Clearly very impressive. I'd make it even better by trying to clean up the insides.

Is that some sort of connector board up at the top for all the fans?
And can you do without those 90' connectors?

 

[Extreme Techinist]

Planing

Location

Waterline.
The reservoir and front radiator must can be remove fron system without plug off the tube.
Because of the expanstion card and RAM is exchangeable always.
The extra long tube is nessery.
The 90 degree fitting is nessery.

Big radiator @ front

The mesh is cut off.

The originall HDD cage cannot be use.
It interfere with front radiator fan and reservoir.

Hand tooling

Hand tooling flat HDD cage.

DVD burner closing with top radiator

The swiftech micro reservoir is perfect fitting with SG03.

Card waterblock touch the reservoir

Card waterblock touch the sound card

"Extreme Techinist" Card.
Keep the free PCIE clean and shine on the reservoir.
This is hand tooling too!

Pump and fan controller.
Hand tooling by me, too!

Hand tooling 90 degree PCIE power cable.

 

[Extreme Techinist]

Warranty is nothing!

I cute the chassis of PSU

one pump

two pump

I use a resistance to fix the fan Speed of FM123 @ 2250rpm (the same of Corsair HX620W stock fan)

The Corsair HX620W short cable edition with two pump!

soundproof

this is AlphaCool NexXxoS Pro I. Not ThermoChill radiator.

Green Net

Cable @ CLEAR_CMOS jump

CLEAR_CMOS switch

At last i change the motherboard.
Anyway Giga-byte GA-G33M-DS2R is good!
Maybe i do something wrong with it when I install the water cooling system.
MB is killed by me.
So i change the motherboard.

I like my pancel!

 

[kuyaglen]

Frackin nice. The color scheme looks like a fracking Nvidia Edition Coolermaster Stacker!

 

[Ockie]

talk about making things fit like origami.

 

[RVWinkle]

This is a work of art, very impressive!

 

[POLO]

Very nice work there, Is the third picture in your first post the final product?
I am quite interested to see more pictures of the final product. Thanks,

 

[sleepeeg3]

Do yourself a favor and don't watercool the northbridge and avoid using 90° bends.

That PCI card is impressive. You are quite an electronic guru. I would have never thought of powering a dremel from a power supply! Then again, I have absolutely no idea why you would want to do that...

 

[myren]

Nice fit man. I look forwards to my own small form factor water cooling experiments.

 

[illybang]

that's some nice work man. NICE.

this is my score

 

[blinkin2000]

can you post a pic from the side - case open?

how much clearance was between the rad/fan and the gts?

 

[reswob]

Looks good.

 

[Extreme Techinist]

The VGA is so close to the front fan.

Mirror surface CPU.

HDD heatsink

Light of reservoir.

Screws

Screwful tooling for defend damage of shock.

My package.

Package off.
Following devices are inside.
SG03
Creative GigaWorks T20 Speaker
Apple slim wired keyboard
Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000
EZOVA Ceramic mousepad

I take my PC to travel by bus, MRT and tran go anywhere.

I can take my PC to friends home for Lan Party!

 

[Liu Kang]

Can anyone tell me what kind of rad that is (the 120x2)?

I have the same case, and I can't seem to find a rad narrow enough to fit in the 'fan bracket' used in the front of the case.

TIA

I try 2 kind radiator in the system.

1.ThermalTake TMG2
This one is SUCK!
I'll never buy anything of Tt.

2.Alphacool NexXxoS Pro II REV1.0
This is not the best radiator, but it is better than Tt.

Dimantion : 120 * 270 * 30mm
Top radiator: 120*150*30mm

 

[Liu Kang]

Thank you for the quick reply.

The front fan bracket opening is only 123mm, so it's hard to find a radiator that fits.

1.ThermalTake TMG2

Why do you say the TMG2 sucks? I have it, but have not installed it yet. I'm waiting for my next system rebuild to install it into my SG03.

 

[Extreme Techinist]

Why do you say the TMG2 sucks? I have it, but have not installed it yet. I'm waiting for my next system rebuild to install it into my SG03.

It bung the air flow and water flow each.
It made water Temp +6℃, core Temp +10℃ than Alpha Cool

But remember the Alphacool NexXxoS Pro II REV2.0 cannot be installed in front of SG03.

I bought the old version in taiwan.

If you need a small RAD. Magicool had one.

[ascdga]

What size tubing did you use?

 

[Extreme Techinist]

What size tubing did you use?

http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...e=product_info&cPath=413_415&products_id=1952
This tube

The tube is not good.

I'm finding tygon or silicon tube

 

[BrotherLen]

I want to touch myself in naughty places after seeing that. Great work.

 

[Extreme Techinist]

After half year keep runing.
A MCP350 Pump is dead.
So i decide to change the mounting type of pump.

Here is new 2 pumps Laing DDC-3.2 18W

Other new item.
Koolance

new pump top

fit

RAM block

Dual core pump mounting plate

Dual core pump

inside of RAM block

pump mounting on PSU

new NB block

install on MB

with TV tuner card / VGA

1

2

3

install on case the fan is blow down

complete install
hundreds of zips are used

I sad it is not thermal chill radiator inside

my Logo

EXTREME MACHINE @ front

complete


OK!

The Koolance PSU top is danm good.
It decreased the pump noise.
When i turn 2 pump @ 2700 rpm.
There is no any noise from pump.

After this mod, everething is decrease 2℃

 

[lowteckh]

Can't imagine the work it would take to maintain that thing or if you want to upgrade/swap parts

 

[phinix]

Great! I love your SG03 water cool mod, I'm still thinking of doing same thing!
I wish I could fit in this case two 55nm new GTX290 and water coolt hem...
Can you tell if its is possible to fit two cards long like GTX280 and 2x120 radaitor on the front - no fans..?
I wonder if 2x120 fanless radiator on the front and one 1x120mm radiator with fan on the top, like you have - would be enought to cool e8400 and two gtx280 in sli???

The airflow will not allow to install a radiator fanless.

the maximum expansion card length with 120x2 radiator + 25mm fan is 9"

 

[Ang]

Where did you get the sticker of your logo made?

hmm... so maybe on 1x120mm with fan in front - upper mount and one 1x120mm on top like you have and then 2x120mm outside in the back of the case...?

 

[Extreme Techinist]

A printing press around the corner

hmm... so maybe on 1x120mm with fan in front - upper mount and one 1x120mm on top like you have and then 2x120mm outside in the back of the case...?

but the external radiator will made the SFF bigger.
and, it's not portable for Lan party

 

[myren]

great build i'd love photos of the reservoir & back side

 

[silentcoercion]

Man, that's awesome. Love the look of all the zip ties, too.

 

[mrmylanman]

What is the purpose of all the zip ties? Just safeguard against leakage?

 

[MassiveOverkill]

They prevent kinks in the tubing.........poor man's spiral wrap

 

[Calpis]

The zip ties look more like bondage belts really. Not that I know about that personally or anything..

Awesome look.

http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...th=399&zenid=cd7a41ec89378dd3c5599c63453e5f52

I have use the plastic tube spring.

And it broken in my PC, The chipping drop in my case anywhere.

I've never seen nylon broken.So i use a lot of zip ties to prevent kinks in the tubing.

About <1000 zip ties used in this system. It cost more than tube spring.(not only for tube, also the cables)

And this cost me a lot of time to bind.
