Raven's 350D power house

[rav3n72]

ooh you went for a single rad... Nice! Im doing two doubles

Nope 240 on top and 120 in front. I didn't went for a 240 in front due to the fact that I need space for all the hard drives.

This is it for tonight. I will continue tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Ageless_ZA]

I meant to say you went for a single in front. I have a single as well I could add as well. Looks good so far though

 

[rav3n72]

Basically there. Just need to finish up with the cable management and connect the fans to a internal fan speed controller.

 

[Off-The-Chart]

wow, are those air bubbles?

damn it looks soooo sexy

/me sells Prodigy and buys 350D for ITX

thanx, you also confirmed something in regards to those fans and the 'common' blue
will need to go get some Rust-Oleum to change that

Looks awesome

Is your XSPC res/pump sitting outside the case? Or do you need to still fasten it? Or fill it?

 

[Off-The-Chart]

oh yes, please, tidy up that cable management some more

Tero, probably there for filling I assume as the fill port is on the thing itself so looks like it will be tough to do once inside the case.

 

[rav3n72]

[MENTION=8442]malfapper[/MENTION] : No it is not air bubbles. It is just some steam from heating up the tubing when fitting them. It takes about 10min for it to evaporate.
[MENTION=2417]Tero[/MENTION] : The pump still needs to be filled and fastened. The fill port is located on top of the pump and that is why it is still "hanging" out in front of the case.

 

[Off-The-Chart]

ah k, well I guess it doesn't matter too much since when you filling a loop there is bound to be bubbles just as long as not still there while a loop is actually in use

please post a pic if you can of how tight the fit is with that res and that top 240

I will do that, but it looks like around 5cm between the res and the rad.

 

[Off-The-Chart]

that is quite a lot

from the pics posted it looked like it was gonna be a tight fit

now on to the big question: when you changing that mobo to one with blue?

 

[WarHeaD]

Nice bud. Gonna be a beast indeed.

UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!!! Think you need some extra fittings to make the tubing more efficient, imho. Other than that, looks good!

Yep. After everything arrived I realized that some 45deg fitting would have been nice. I will order those and add later on. Especially need them for the gpu, cpu and the lower fitting of the top radiator.

 

[Ageless_ZA]

See, you should of spoken to me I made sure I got 45 fittings. I might have some left after im done.

 

[Sarinaide]

Sigh, just when I think I'm cured :/...I've been CUD sober for over a year now, maybe one or two minor small slips like buying fans . I think the next time I build up a new 'puter I'm going to custom WC, just to get it out of my system and do all this nice photographic work ~glances at bank account~ Might still be a while till I can do it

You have no cure, in fact you should be used for experimentation purposes.

As for the rest, yep the life of being broke....Fus ro dah.

Front lighting installed. Sorry for the bad quality (it really looks nice in real life.

Nice

ooh you went for a single rad... Nice! Im doing two doubles

Rich is never one to be outdone, except where it really matters.

UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!!!

Thats what she said

 

[rav3n72]

It's a TRAP!!!!

 

[rav3n72]

It's a TRAP!!!!

 

[SoloMid]

Hopefully this is the build up to a before and after shot?

 

[rav3n72]

Here you can see the distance between the radiator and the pump

 

[rav3n72]

This is how it will look with the side panel on.

 

[soulreap3r]

jirre dis so mooi!!!!

Good work raven, I like everything about it, parts choice etc. The only thing i would change is the tube route.

 

[Ageless_ZA]

[MENTION=464]rav3n72[/MENTION] drop me a pm sometime I have some 45 connectors for you.

Only person you'll be trolling is yourself... that's possibly the ugliest case corsair has ever made.

Ill buy you some glasses to help with your blindness. It's nowhere near a 350D.

The case layout is similar considering the age, its just cosmetic changes;

Small subtle changes to form factor and incused by sizing changes. The 350D is longer marginally while the 300R is taller marginally as to the rest of the tech specs they are by and large the same so we move to cosmetics;

1) Brezzles, the 350D uses the Obsidian style front while the 300R uses the Carbide styled front brezzle.
2) Change in form factor changes the cable management routing and the addition of rubbering gromits are more to do with age rather than structual (300R is old)
3) The expansions are all by and large the same bar 2 plays 3 5.25" bays and the layout of 2.5" and 3.5" bays.

So the long and the short is that the 350D is very close to a 300R but double the cost for cosmetic updates.

 

[rav3n72]

and also the 300R will accept full atx boards were as the 350D is matx only.
