830 Classified

[Assassin48]

Since I'm finally going off to college (postponing it for 3 years now). I decided to break down my bench rig and throw it in my Stacker 830.

Components:
Classified 760 (3 way)
3gb PI blacks
250gb HDD
285 Classified
1k ToughPower

WC:
HK 3.0
Mo-Ra
2x DDC
EK Dual Top
1/2" Tubing

Case:
Stacker 831

Sponsors:
Friend :D - EVGA 760 Hydro Copper Block

What needs to happen
1. Cut holes for CM
2. Sand the case down
3. Throw some primer on it
4. Sand some more and primer
5. Paint the case black and white
6. Rivet the case back up
7. Install hardware
8. Layout watercooling loop
9. Sleeve everything black + white + red
10. Plug everything in and take pics

This is the case but mine is all black even on the inside

Thanks guys

I hope i can finish the case by sunday, i need to pull out the jigsaw and fix a cut i made with the dremel. After that i can paint the last 2 panels and rivet those in.

[ReverendMaynard]

looks real nice assassin, very clean.

[Chuchnit]

Looks real good buddy. Makes me miss playing inside the box ;)

[Splave]

schweet! where does the 762 fit?

[RomDominance]

Looks great A! Nice work bro and best of luck in school!

[Assassin48]

I'm almost done with the case, i tried working on it over the weekend but i ran out of paint. I was about to go to Home Depot when my truck didn't start :( , battery was dead. Have to go to sears tomorrow to pick up a battery and buy some paint.

I'm glad it happened at home and not when im in sac.


Also i need to pick up some toys thanks to an AWESOME FRIEND ! (you know who you are!) i have a 930 + 760 mb block which will be installed tomorrow.

Im hoping i can finish the case by weds and i can get started on wc placement

little update

[punx223]

wow that looks really good man!!


just a little advice though... the red spacers go between the backplate and board.... the white washers go under the standoff spacers on top side.

Oh ok ill switch it :)

[punx223]

otherwise the backplate will sit and can flex against the backplate of the cpu bracket bro

Thanks for the tip

Your always helping me :)

I switched it around now, have to figure out a nice way to loop this system together.

[ReverendMaynard]

can't wait to see this beast in action.

Sorry if I missed it anywhere but have you lapped the cpu ihs yet?

I have never lapped a cpu before, plus i don't think it will get that hot with a 360 rad or 480

I'm also lost on whether i should of shouldn't wc the 285 classy

[punx223]

WC gpu is always good.... only bad thing is it makes disassembling the loop much more of a chore

Ill see if i have enough for a block, i got a lead for a thermalchill 360 + 3x fans for $80 shipped

thats awesome, but be careful bro, if its an older PA120.3 like mine the fan spacing is farther apart so it may not fit where you want it to.

Its says 15m spacing

can you fit a 280 rad?

[Assassin48]

can you fit a 280 rad?

I know i can fit a 480 under that (4x120)
