Redbull Fridge for PaxEast2012 *Updated 12-4 Fan & LED board HOW-TO* - Page 3

Thanks! I hope my build gives you some ideas for your next build!

Oh, haha and for a minute I thought it was Swiftech trying to rip me off LOL

Thanks LRT! Hopefully this coming holiday weekend allows me for a major update!

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Im very VERY thankful for all of the helpful people on Overclock.net!
Thank you <3

I assumed during this holiday weekend I'd have time to celebrate and mod at the same time. I only had time to celebrate with family and friends, did very very little modding ]:
But I will give you guys a BIG update for the sake of it being the Holidays.

First off is my Magnum M10 case from CaseLabs,
Jim has been very helpful over at CaseLabs on helping me pick out the case I needed.


Which of course came in a large box that was very well padded (total weight was 36lbs!).


My work Blackberry for size reference.


With Flash


Motherboard side


PSU side

Now since I have my RIVE and I'm way behind on my MDPC-x sleeving I figured id mount the motherboard on temporarily, just to get the right measurements to reduce cable clutter.

My first case with a removable motherboard tray! (I spent about 5minutes playing with this awesome feature).


Motherboard mounted, now I know the M10 is 10PCI rear slots but I needed the extra 2-3slots on the bottom for holes to route my water, now why drill into the mobo tray? because later on if I were to upgrade from this board I could always use an XL-ATX board to cover the hole.
Or I could just order a replacement tray from CaseLabs vs an entire chassis.


Also mounted my AX1200.



Heres a package from FTW PC which arrived in a day from CA to NYC!


BLAM! an assortment of paracord and YateLoon Fans


Close up of the paracord (which I've never used before for sleeving).


Here's an interesting $6.50 package from NewEgg.com

My iPhone for size reference.




Now I only needed an 80mmx80mmx15mm fan for my 2nd water pump, but they shipped it to me in a pretty large box \:
I also never received any freebies from NewEgg either so getting anything (even tasteless coffee) is a real treat!


Now the first thing I had to sleeve is the Lamptron switches that came with the M10 case.

Yuck


Here is the pin out for my RIVE board.


To give it a cleaner look ill be using these 10pin header connectors instead of the single/dual connectors provided.


With some correct measurements and cuts I'm ready for the heatgun!
(also I learned this by accident that if I were to use flash on my camera it would show the bleeding of the wires underneath the sleeving).


So I quickly re-did the sleeve but with electrical tape behind it. PERFECT!



I drilled some holes on my front panel bay holder tabs, so I can easily route my fan/power cables through these holes.
The rubber grommets can be found over at Performance-PCs.com (it helps if you preheat the grommets with a heatgun so that they're easily pushed into the holes.


Only took 20seconds!


This is the PSU side bottom panel. The holes are for my 2nd pump and the 5th hole is for routing my LED wires from the exterior into the case.


The 1/4 inch grommet took 40seconds.

Thats it for now, currently I am working on my 1st pump. Heres a sneak peak

This is sleeved with electrical tape to prevent color bleed from the MDPC-x sleeving.

And im still working out the designs on the exterior.

Yeah I need some .ai vector files of Lutro0 Customs!

Hey everyone just a quick update!

I just got great news that FTW PC has just joined on the build and will be sponsoring my build!


Very big thanks to everyone at FTW PC!

Now this means that this build log will be moved over to the "Sponsored" build log.
