Planning to do:
Painting style Old Guys
water cooling
Nice Hardware Â*:D

[Stanleh]

Smoking Kills !!!!

V nice case mate, loved the pics you showed me of a built system, can't wait to see yours.

[st0mpy]

monster case! you could hide people in there

looks like the sort of thing that should have wheels on the bottom and a safety warning triangle -- do not lift -- Â*:lol:

[Caveman]

Nice case MI, i am looking forward to more pic's and info.

[Hidde]

which case is that? + what hardware are you gonna throw inside? 2011 socket stuff?

[MI-six]

Name is Little Devil
And i planning hardware 2012 Â*:D
Intel Â*Ivy Bridge
The new Nvidia Kepler or the new ATI 7000 serie

[Asigan]

Smart Choice waiting for both new architectures ^^. Today comes out a new talking about PCI-E 4.0 and Ivy Bridge numbers sounds like it will be 25% over the performance of Sandy Bridge

[MI-six]

Today a small update

Testing the paint color.

First the primer.

And this is the color that i going to use.

http://www.oldguys.eu/file/MI-six/thumbs/tn-Devil-Case-031.jpg (http://www.oldguys.eu/file/MI-six/Devil-Case-031.jpg)
This will be the color where i go for.
it is close to the OG color

This was it for today
I will try out tomorrow the backplate :D

[Caveman]

Nice work, looks a bit different color but that is probebly the photo.
Looking forward to more pic's 8)

[MI-six]

Oke to day the back plate
I had some drilling to do, some points wear on pop nails.

But at the end Â*six wins :D

http://www.oldguys.eu/file/MI-six/thumbs/tn-Devil-Case-004.jpg (http://www.oldguys.eu/file/MI-six/Devil-Case-004.jpg)

Tomorrow i will show it in color.

I'm thinking about Â*for the water cooling.
2x rads Black ICE Radiator SR1 420 - black.
pomp? maybe dual for the hi flow

PSU Corsair CMPSU-850AXAU or some thing with 1000w
1000w will be on the safe site :D

[Caveman]

2 pump's is a bit overkill

I would go for a liang d5

http://highflow.nl/pompen/laing-swiftech/pompen-nl/laing-d5-mcp655-12v-1-2-slang-aansluiting.html

I use it in my setup and use it on the minimum setting. Thing is a beast and there are a lot of mods for this pump too.

So today i have my PSU Â*:D

Full Modular Design (DC to DC) The Platinum Series features a high-tech LLC/full-bridge circuit topology with a unique integrated DC Connector Panel with an embedded Voltage Regulator Module. This design contributes to a near-perfect DC-to-DC conversion that optimizes efficiency by reducing current loss and impedance.

Seasonic Hybrid Silent Fan Control An industry first, advanced 3 phased (Fanless, Silent and Cooling Mode) thermal control balances between silence and cooling. In addition, a selector switch is provided to allow you to select between the Seasonic S2FC control, without fanless mode and the S3FC fan control, with fanless mode. For the maximum low noise performance and quality, Seasonic offers Sanyo Denki San Ace Silent Fan on the Platinum Series, the best fan there is in the industry.

80PLUS Platinum Certified The Platinum Series, certified in accordance to the 80PLUS highest standards, offers the newest technology and innovation for performance and energy savings with up to 92% efficiency and a true power factor of greater than 0.9PF.

Full Modular Cabling Design The modular cabling design allows use of only the cables you need resulting in improved internal airflow and reduced system clutter. Easy Swap connectors allows for easy, quick and safe unplugging. High current gold-plated terminals ensure optimal signal transfer and stability of connected devices. All-in-one DC cabling design supports PC, IPC, workstation and server systems.

Multi-GPU Technology Supported The Platinum Series Platinum-1000 features single +12V rail at up to 83A and has six 6/8 pin PCI-Express connectors for multi-GPU support.

Japanese Capacitors Seasonic uses highest durable 105°C Japanese Grade A capacitors and Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitors on the Platinum Series for uncompromised performance, reliability and lifespan.

The sleeve stuff is on the way :D
so i hope to start soon to sleev this baby

The paint job is still going on i''m working now to changs the total look of the case.
I will upload the pic's when that is done

[st0mpy]

nice PSU!

all my PCs have seasonics, i wont use anyone elses in my own machines

[STIHES]

NICE NICE ÂÂ*:D

[MI-six]

Finaly i got today my order.
So now i can also to start to sleeve my psu wire.

When i look at it, i will order some more

Here some foto's of the sleeve stuff.

In the next days i have some time off so i can work on my case :roll:

[Hidde]

I would prefer black/orange, it's all a bit bright now. But it's your decision of course, and you've already bought the stuff :P

[MI-six]

I will make a new order but that is for someting else :D
and yes it will be bright but that is howe i planned

[0daro0]

Hey six,

Are you done with your cables from the power suply
And where die you bought them

I liked the orange with white verry much and want it to do also.
if you dont mine.

It wil be nice with my new case

[Hidde]

These aren't cables, they're sleeves. You have to sleeve the cables yourself, which is not an easy job, especially not for you because you will most likely not buy a fully modular power supply like the monster MI-six possesses. The sleeves are MDPC-X sleeves, this one (http://de.mdpc-x.com/mdpc-sleeve/sleeve/sleeve-small-weiss.htm) and this one (http://de.mdpc-x.com/mdpc-sleeve/sleeve/sleeve-small-orange.htm), you can't just buy them though, only at selected times. Instead of ordering this stuff right away I would recommend buying a little kit at Highflow (http://www.highflow.nl/) to see if you can do this yourself. Try to sleeve a fan cable or something for practice. You don't want to ruin the cables of your power supply right away. What you can also do is buy a sleeved cable extender. You can find those here (http://www.freezinghardware.eu/cat/66/Stroom.html), but there are more places to get them. FreezingHardware has a lot of them though. Good luck.

edit: with this apparent unlimited budget of yours (your case + power supply costs alone are at least €716), why not go for an X79 setup? Or an EVGA SR-2 Xeon setup :)

[0daro0]

I worked 2 years @ a computershop i build those things from nop to top.
so how hard can it be.

i buying Ã* new power suply soon with cable management system.
so , and its possible on everyone suply .

But i just want to know where six bought them

[RPGforYOU]

pictures or it didn't happen 0daro00 :P

[MI-six]

The link Is MDPC-X (http://de.mdpc-x.com/)

[0daro0]

RPG :p Will come.

Thanks six

I linked to that in my previous post.
Sleeving your PSU is not easy (fixed cables), you won't get kier/ugotheinzd results right away.

From your previous posts and topic about building a new pc it seems a fully modular power supply (Corsair AX, Seasonic X series) won't fit in your budget, so you will always have fixed cables. Those are harder to sleeve, it's not just a male-male cable, the individual wires are wired to the PSU PCB. Go to jonnyguru.com and check out the Inside Look pictures of any not fully modular PSU, and you will see. Just want to warn you here, so you don't screw up your PSU :)

[0daro0]

yes ok, but one with cable management system is different ?.
I just want to do the cables that you can remove so that is possible if iam right ?

[MI-six]

You must look for Full Modular Cabling psu :D

[Hidde]

[s:ab6e7bf76a]What the hell, my post won't appear :/[/s:ab6e7bf76a]

Of course sleeving only the modular cables is possible, but the only ones worth sleeving would be the PCIe cables imo, because you hardly see your sata/molex cables. The 24pin, however, will still be in full sight. You could buy a Bitfenix or NZXT extender for that. CPU power cable won't be a problem, it's really out of sight if you have a proper case with a cable management hole for it.

@mi-six above: as mentioned a fully modular psu doesn't fit in his budget (afaik) and most of the times it would be overkill, because the fully modular PSU's with a lower wattage are usually way to expensive if you compare the price with a "regular", semi-modular PSU. That is because of the fullymodularness, of course, but also because of it's efficiency (pretty much all fully modulars are 80+ Gold+). Lower wattage PSU's are much harder to make efficient. Take for example this power supply (http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/253418/seasonic-m12ii-520w.html). A good power supply, and not too expensive (€70). Now, if you'd go for the 80+ Gold fully modular Seasonic in the same wattage range, the Seasonic X-560 (http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/259806/seasonic-x-560-80+-gold.html), it would cost you €120!

tl;dr : fully modular PSU's are too expensive and usually high-wattage units, low wattage ones are overpriced

[RPGforYOU]

So you finished it pics? :P

[0daro0]

Btw how are THE sleeves ? You finished ?
