That came as a surprise largely misguided by your profile picThought you were some renegade college nerd
This DIY is an inspiration to all modders...big and small alike. Thanks a ton for sharing your experiences...
But my pic is only 1.5 years old...

k man
thanks for the advice
got my boards next month
so will start with the pc build only in mid march

Update 8th Feb 2010
Saturday evening i got the pump.. it is very small AC pump with head flow of 300L/h upto 1m height and silent too..
I have modded it for inlet and outlet.... bad it's too late in night and my camera's batteries are out of power.
So got only one pic.
But this will give some idea about how the build is going on.....
Sorry for not giving regular updates,.. Time problem...
Thanks for reading..

hi u cool man awesome build.I am noob over this.But the day i learnt about this i too wanted to make one.The only thing that is creating an issue is waterblock co can u point in right direction.I mean how did u make the grooves in ur block can that be made in local shops who deal with stuff like this.Please atleast read my post.:clap::clap::clap::clap::hap2::hap2:
Update 13th Feb 2010
Today got small piece of black 2mm Acrylic sheet for making a cover for the radiator.
Bending the sheet for required shape.
Yes the flame torch dose the job quickly..
Let’s see how it will look
Finally done with the shape.
Cutting the hole for FAN
Finally its 1:00 am and I am finish with the rad cover.. Only few holes for the fan and cover screw remains…
Hope you all like the update.
Thanking

Any lathe machine wala can do the job... but i prefer doing it my self..

Update 16th Feb 2010
Hi am back with some super updates… Worked nonstop from Saturday evening till Sunday evening and came close to finish…. Hope you all will like the outcome..
Removing the protective sheet from acrylic and assembling it again…
Yes Heat polishing in action..see the result..
Back panel have some manufacturing defect.. called my dealer he is ready to replace so no worry..
Power button and front USB
added copper “L†joints and installed the water loop with mobo.
Rad cover with fan ..
PC in power and booted.. CCFL look super thanks to “stonedsurdâ€.
LCD post in action
Some more pics.
My daughter, she loves the new build…very much…
That’s my setup… Homemade 12†sub a 7.1 speakers.
LCD post with Audio bar VU..
Finally ..need to do some cable management …
And need your suggestions for the build name…Please..
Hope you liked my effort.
Thanks for watching

its awesome man... Keep it up. Hope i have the skill and energy to try something like this.... it really needs proper imagination and overall an idea as to how a cabinet is built....

Heat generated from HDD would be the problem. Airflow is essential for the PCB underneath the HDD.
Last week when i played Bioshock 2 for 1 hour or so, the temp of my HD4850 went up to 87c and the entire fan were making lot of noise (since they have to move lot of hot air from inside of the cabinet).
So i said to myself, "It's time to do something of the HD4850." VGA water block for HD4850 was in my mind for even before building the Clearity, and i searched a lot for stock heat sink of HD4850 to convert it into a Water block. But no success.
Many forum members have branded GFX block for HD4850 but they all are very costly. And even my current rad 1x120 is not enough to handle load of both CPU anf GPU.
Last week my friend came to me regarding up-gradation of his PC. He wanted i7. So i made him one. But he also had 1.5 yrs old CM Aquagate S1 cooler, which i have repaired 6 months ago. His original fan blads brooked so i replace it with new CM silent FAN. Now this cooler won’t fit on LCG1366 socket so he asked me to sale it.
After two days of zero response in sale posted on many forums, he gave me the S1 free for the cost.
So now I have an extra rad and a block. Only thing I have to figure out is how to use it with HD4850.
After thinking for whole day I came to this idea.
Now instead to two different loops I added both rads and both pumps in the same loop. This will work better since extra rad will add up more coolant and extra heat exchange, second two pumps will help in better flow and if in any case one pumps dies other will still server the cooling.
So this is the loop flow order.
OLD Rad -> AC pump -> CPU -> S1 Rad -> GPU block/pump -> OLD Rad
Now start moding.
First take apart of the Aquagate S1.
Now added rad to the Clearity. Two fans in push and pull format.
Now made some acrylic mountings to attach the S1 block on to HD4850. After two hours of cutting, filling, drilling and screwing the block finally mounted on the card and I think it looks cool.
It’s too late in night so I have close the work for now.
On Sunday I will make the heatsinks for memory and power mosfets on the card from few old aluminum sinks lying around.
Hope you like the modding.

Excellent work. Interesting to see how much temp difference will it make.
Actually 87C is quite safe for an HD4850. 4850 runs hot and temps of your GPU was normal, nothing to worry about. Nevertheless it's good, as it inspired you to go ahead and attach water-block to GPU.
If I am not wrong, I have seen GPU waterblock in your system previously.

Hi, Sunday Update.
Today I will make some heat sinks for HD4850 memory chips and power mosfets.
So first start with Memory chips. So here is the raw material.Heat sink from old PSU.
After few minutes of working it looks like this
Now for Mosfet cooler
After few hours.
Now let’s place them on card.
That done. Now install the card and connected the block to the loop and filled the coolant.
Now boot it.
GPU ideal temp is now 38c cool hey but memory seems to be hot at 77c on ideal. The small heat sinks are not sufficient for the memory chips. So added 1.5mm thick copper plate, this done the trick.
Now at ideal system
GPU is 39c
Memory at 41c
CPU at 34c
After playing Bioshock 2 at 1920 x 1080 for two hours.
GPU is 47c
Memory at 49c
CPU at 41c
COOL…. I think I have a nice temperature for my rig. Will try to OC GPU now. Have a look at final mod.
Will keep you update.
Thanking

A Small tiny miny UPDATE..
Also working on a 6 Channel Audio Amp.
This is DIGI-125 amp I have made some changes to me need and liking. Amp has been tested and produced very good sound. Still have to finish lot of work… just want to share.
Hope you all like the update.
