Sli n Shiny Wavemaster

coolmiester · 06-18-2005, 05:44 PM

Thought it was about time i got one of mine in here so thanks for taking a peek.

This one started off as a bit of a trial and error log as it was before Danger Den started producing the NV Sli blocks so i had to make them myself.

The Wavemaster had the anodised coating removed and is all hand polished with my own fair hands

Wavemaster (Shiny)
Asus A8N-SLI s939
AMD Athlon FX-55
Enermax Noisetaker 600watt PSU
2x 512mb OCZ PC3500 EL-D
Western Digital Raptor 74GB
2x Gainward 6800 Ultra Golden Samples
Sony DWU-18A 8x DVD±RW ReWriter

Water Cooling:-

TDX Athlon64
Maze4 A8NChipset
2x NV-68 GPU Block
Laing DDC 12volt Pump
BIX II Rad
Papst Alu 120mm Fans on Vantec Rheobus
Dual Floppy Bay-Res
Tygon Hose

Anyway without further ado, on with some pictures......

Very very nice.
I think you meant A8N-SLI s939 for the motherboard instead of SK8V I hope

coolmiester · 06-18-2005, 07:24 PM

Cheers scooterfl, glad someone is paying attention

......the Asus SK8V (Socket 940) is in the Ventmaster

Absolutely gorgeous!

I think I saw this installed in a Nubian Type J Transporter. (Sorry for the Star Wars reference, I couldn't resist)

excellent work, may i ask where the BiXII is mounted ?
That 120mm fan grill is just for en exhaust grill right? and the rad i assume it is placed infront of the case?

Cheers

great work!

Ahh it is a bit confusing.

I finished the case when it was still home to a DFI m/board and FX5900 so the single rad was adequate for that but when i fitted the Sli blocks i top mounted a chrome BIX II the same as the black and yellow Wavemasters.

Gorgeous--absolutely stunning--love the fat waterblock plates and the bezel work! Overall one of the finest llooking cases I've seen--it would be impossible to miss it walking in the room...

Eventually started marking out for a custom flame grill for this case.

Its going to be hand cut from 3mm aluminium plate which will obviously be polished once its all cut out so should look quite good providing all goes well.

I first marked out the edge using the BIX shroud for a guide and then added some flames using one of mnpctechs flame stencils for reference.

It'll do nothing for air flow but that was never the priority.......look good function second

It will take quite a while so don't expect it finished tonight

Managed to get all the cutting done using a fret saw with the tiniest little 18tpi blades which was good fun so its just a case of filing the corners round and polishing the whole thing to match the shiny case.

You guess correctly

Got the grill polished using Peek and my trusty DA Polisher and then fitted so loads of pictures

All im waiting for now is the release of the NV-78 blocks to plumb in the GFX cards

You should make a tutorial on make it uber shiny and mirror ish.

nicozeg · 09-03-2005, 09:37 AM

Amazing job with that saw dude!

How much time take all that cuts? how many saws were broken in the process?

man, I didn't know that type of tools could handle metal that well! Obviously it require a very skilled hand to get that quality results!

Vector86 · 09-17-2005, 09:25 PM

WOW! that case is wicked sick!

giorgioprimo · 10-01-2005, 04:43 PM
