I came across this project on another site:

This guy is my hero. He's using as much recyled/scrap material as possible, and he's got more patience than anyone I know.

Thats amazing, i wish i had that much copper, i'd take it to the junkyard and get some cash like mad for it, then build a decnt PC, but hes got the right idea, its looking mad awesome as of now.

The pictures on the 2nd page dont work

. I wonder what his temps are..

That is amazing, purely from a workman-ship view. Can't wait to see that setupi finished

Watercooling the psu? I'm an utter noob when it comes to wc, but is that common? It strikes me as a bad idea.

I thought that was the best part!

You can buy those... if you don't want to go through this kind of 'rigorous modding....

I have to admire this guy.. he probably isn't married or has a girlfriend, though... the amount of
time going into this project must be staggering! Don't think it leaves much room for other
things... (let alone work..lol...)....

Still.... I just love and admire the fact he designs & creates everything "from scratch"....

I love the water cooling! This guy is god with cuting and tap and dies and what not! BUT whats up with the lame pc parts? Looks like an Nf2 mobo with a 9600Xt or something! Great mods BUT bad stuff to use them on!

Jager · 19-March-06, 03:48 PM

well being in croatia im sure hes not exactly able to access the latest and greatest parts and decent prices. and most nf2 mobos can still be overclocked to hell and back.

my barton 1.8 sits at 2.4 pretty easy.

MaTtsPc · 19-March-06, 09:34 PM

OO i know about NF2 boards dude! I loved my 2600M

King of overclocks on air

HemiCuda1970 · 19-March-06, 09:44 PM

Thats bad azz!! He most have ALOT of time on his hands!!

Nerdz · 19-March-06, 09:49 PM

That is freaking nuts O_O!! He watercooeld his ram with this big ass block? Lol Dam.

PurpleDiamond · 20-March-06, 10:29 AM

That is very nice but I could have sworn that I have seen that home made rad somewhere else

I have seen at least one more watercooled PSU on the Bit-tech project logs a long time ago.

Chrome_Rust · 20-March-06, 11:47 AM

although i am not kocking the idea of the "home made" rad. is there going to be enough surface area to dissapate all the heat he is trying to remove? But it sure loks killer, and imagine the flow!!

Jobistober · 20-March-06, 12:25 PM

Man, that guys work is amazing. Making custom blocks for his PSU and RAM is what blows me away! And he better have one kick ass pump to handle the flow of all of the blocks...

UndisputedChamp · 20-March-06, 04:10 PM

Damn man that looks dangerous. He cut his hand during the whole project..yikes!!

Anyway you are right, plenty of patience for this man. A skiled modder indeed.

beachbum86 · 20-March-06, 07:43 PM

he must have his own mill shop because all the copper is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. im most interested in that radiator that he made, very curious on the results.

i dont realy see any advantage in wc'ing the psu. it will just ad enormous amount of heat into the loop. but it is still kickass

that plexi grill is sooo much time, kudos.

MasterP · 20-March-06, 08:31 PM

It's amazing work alright - I have doubts about how well it will perform

I noticed that with his radiator, he looked like he soldered the "fins" to the pipes - I'm pretty sure that if he'd used a better brazing compound, he'd get better heat transfer (please correct me if I'm wrong!!!!)

Also, it'd be better if he had more fins on that sucker too - but i guess if it's not costing him too much -
