Cool RAGE CAGE [May 7 Completed!]

Current status: Case fully assembled! Hardware tweaking and more pics inbound


Life story: Im doing a huge overhaul on my sig rig system... Upgrading platforms, I got a custom case made for me and I am going to slightly modify it.. Got some nice hardware coming in, and some specialty parts going into the works.. Oh, and a nice digital camera to hopefully entertain you folks here at OCN


Watercooling Components!
  • CPU Block - EK Supreme 1366 Plexi LT [2barbs]
  • Pump - MCP655/D5 [2barbs]
  • --Pump Modifier - Bitspower Replacement top
  • Reservoir - Swiftech Micro Res Revision 2 [2barbs]
  • Radiator - HW Labs GTX 560 [2barbs]
  • Tubing - Tygon 1/2" ID | 3/4" OD
  • Bitspower Rotary Q Fitting for temperature sensor and drain point [2barbs]
  • Two Temperature sensors: One at reservoir to check Hottest point in loop, one after Radiator to check coolest point in loop. [10 barbs total?]
Extras!
-Fan to be determined soon-
Lighting: 15" RED CCFL, 15" UV, Three 12" UV, two 4" UV, one Lazer Tri Color LED
All Wires to be sleeved in some nice fashion


Hardware Upgrades
  • Mobo: EVGA X58 SLI Classified
  • CPU: Intel Quad Core i7 920 Nehalem
  • RAM: G.Skill PI Series 3 X 2GB DDR3 1600 8-8-8-20 1800mhz
  • Sound Card: SB X-Fi Titanium Fata1ty Champ1on Series PCI-e with auxiliary panel
  • Keyboard: Razer Lycosa Backlit Gaming Keyboard
  • Mousepad: OCZ Behemoth
  • Drive: Possibly getting a PERC6 RAID Card (upgrading from PERC5)
(These upgrades I purchased early and am using them on my current rig, I bought most because of a promotion I found and to distribute the cost of upgrading so I can afford it without straining my wallet)


Case: Custom built. The case can be closely compared to Danger Den's Existing Tower-26 with these modifications in route:
  • Front panel will be changed to acomodate a QUAD 140mm fan (From the Quad 120mm)
  • BTX Motherboard Layout With holes tapped for ATX and eATX motherboards (BTX is the upside down thing)
  • Increased height/size to accommodate one 5.25" device and one 3.5" device on the front panel
  • Extra HDD hanger to fit a total of 9 drives
  • Added expansion slots for a total of 10 SLOTS
  • Extended Motherboard standoffs
  • Custom built shroud by Syrillian
  • Some other mods are pending approval of the builder


Extras that may or may not be included in this project:
Additions of new video cards + Watercooling GPUs
Log of CPU overclocking results
Log of thermal performance of untested GTX 560 and/or 140mm fans



The name of this build was recomended by a few of my friends... in reference to past builds where things have gone horridly wrong (actually, something always does) I've decided to dedicate this to how I predict I will feel by the end of this mod. <3

I've uploaded a txt file with some parts I plan on buying for the immediate upgrades.. let me know if you guys see anything weird or that needs attention. I'm buying most of my stuff from Newegg because I have a credit line with them that gives discounts etc.

Dude you need to shut it lol I wanted to wait until the next gen GPU came out before buying three video cards, you're gonna make me fill all my PCIe lanes and RAM slots before I was planning to



See the bad thing is now... I saved up for this stuff and have lots of CASH left over, i can afford to do it but I don't want to yet LOL

Notice/ Update

I placed over $1700 worth of parts
... all the parts are inbound. Danger den should be delivering my case within the coming weeks.

The only thing left to arrive is my custom case and custom radiator shroud
