[ Build Log ] - Project IN WIN GRone
After recently working on several high end pc's for friends and rambling through countless new build logs on here... I was inspired to start my own 2013 Ivy Bridge build. With a small budget in mind I am hoping to be able to recycle some parts from past builds (circa 2009)- if it's at all possible.
As far as what CPU , MOBO & GPU(S) I will be using , well I'm not really sure yet. I'm getting my watercooling parts cleaned , tested and painted first before I decide on the money I will spend on the real hardware stuff.
This should be interesting and unpredictable.. -so let the chaos begin !
First off I've already leak tested & painted some parts.
MCR220 Rad
Micro Res brackets
MCP655-B pump (Thanks to Witchdoctor for reminding me to check the O-ring )
Now I'm trying to figure out where the parts are going to go and the order of the loop. Havent really decided on if I'm going to run dual or a single loop. I have the parts though.. that decision I will be making as soon as I finish with some minor mods to my case.
A little cutting to be done on the IN WIN GRone for the 220 rad placemet.
Finished cutting and trimmed it :
Whats that trim I'm using to cover my shotty dremel work ? It's door edge trim for your automobile.... :} Yeah , I'm cheap !
As of now 2/1/13 I am waiting on some small parts to come in so I can finally decide on what CPU & GPU I'm going with.
Here's what's coming in this week :
I will be cutting a spot for the case temp gauge above the external SATA port...
There's not many modded GRone cases out there yet so why not sub for this thread ?
- I know your curious.....
Stay tuned ! More low budget buiding coming soon ...
