Vista - [Project] My HAF 932 Water-Cooling Build *56K Warning*

I decided to post this here, as it's a good place for it. plus everyone can see the extreme Cooling, as this is the overclocking and cooling section, thats exactly what this build will be doing... Enjoy guys, more pics to come soon.

OK, I've finally got all the parts. Everything has worked out perfect. I just started tonight, I'll be taking my Sig Rig, and making it into a Water-cooled HAF.. Yet to be named, but I have some idea's for it. (Gotta HAF Water, Darker HAF, My Better HAF, things like that. lol)

Anyways, I've never actually made a work log. so this is my first for that. I'll start with a picture of the goods, and then the case. Feel free to comment, leave constructive criticism, give me idea's. and ask questions.

OK, Here's the Case, Just got it in the mail.



Parts from left to right, Top to bottom.
1. Cable Clamps
2. Sleeving Kit, Shrink Tube
3. Zip Ties 100pk.
4. Masterkleer 15ft. 7/16 ID
5. Yate Loon D12SM, 120mm Medium 71CFM 33dbA x 4
6. Dual 12" Cold Cathode UV Tubs
7. Swiftech MCP-655 D5 Pump
8. Pentosin G11 UV Blue Coolant Dye, PT-Nuke
9. PTS 3x3" Gel Stuff, For pump mount
10. Swiftech Micro Res v2 w/ DD Fatboy (High Flow 1/2 Barbs)
11. More DD Fatboy 1/2 High Flow Barbs
12. Swiftech Apogee GTZ Block w/ Same barbs
13. Black DD Fillport (Mounting in top of HAF)
14. Rust-oleum Black Satin Paint for inside case
If your wondering where the RAD is, I had the PA120.2 and had to sell it. I will have the Feser TFC 360 Tomorrow.

OK, Now to start. I've decided to paint the case Satin Black, and I just applied my second coat of primer.



Painting Side Panels

I'll cut out the rear 120/140mm fan Grill to help with airflor and cut down on noise.

Check out my work area, and see my Kayaks. During the summer I take those out about once a week. It's amazingly fun.

More pics of my parts I'll be using, so everyone doesn't need to ask. (I hate imageshack) What's better to use?


All my parts that were removed from the HAF 932 for painting. Patiently awaiting going home.


This is it for tonight, More to come tomorrow. Thanks for looking. Feel free to comment.

Looks great so far, gunther. Nothing better than new hardware in new boxes and opening the boxes right... Always nice to have such large and high quality pics.. Waiting for next post..

BTW, something I picked up on youtube, what do you think of it?: YouTube - Silverstone Raven Case Build - XFX 790i Ultra, XFX GTX 285 xXx, UCP 1100w, Core 2 Quad (just scroll towards the end..) + RAVEN

That is one sweeet case...

Ya the raven is ok, I almost got it, but it's just to crazy and weird looking for me, my case is sort of ugly outside also, but It's the performance of being able to mount my entire watercooling system inside the top of the case. Thats why I got it.

Thanks man, Yes opening new boxes of computer stuff is just way to fun.. I'm addicted, I just keep buying crap. lol.

I just got my Radiotor, the Feser TFC360 RAD, it's the best on the market. looks amazing. Pics coming tonight. when I get my first black coat on.

Thanks!

Might be a sweet case but i wouldn't let that guy handle my MBoard OR build me a system...

the guy in the video.. yea I was about to say that. hahah!

Damn man, that looks like it's going to turn out fine. I'm still anxious about using water cooling in any of my systems, I'm to paranoid that something will spring a leak and destroy my components.

well, I've learned that little drops from a small leak in a seal. like a drop or 2 or 3.. or even 5 wont actually ruin anything, as long as you catch it. and it's distilled water.. as there's no minerals in there, and it's less conductive so wont short stuff out.

As long as it's not the entire tube falls off and poors your entire loop onto something. You're usually ok to power it down, and fix the problem

but yea, I'm a little nervous, it's my first time

gr i'm jealous...... i was going to get this case but it was out of stock when i went to get it and i had to get the NZXT one... which is still nice but i wanted the haf

It's much better in real life, yes it's a little industrial looking, and it's sort of ugly, but all the features, and performance things they did, just make it one of the best cases around. I really like it so far.

More pics coming in about 3 or 4 hours.

You said you liked the Thermaltake Armor? Why didn't you get that as that has a bunch of room at the top for watercooling, as well.

Though I think the HAF case looks nice.
