MILKANDOREOS

I should have all the parts by this time next week, depending on when TitanRig ships my fittings and pumps. Very exciting.

Wow this feels familiar. Hello all this is Milk/Sarilland/Sam. As many know I have a bit of an obsession with computers, and having one that is both awesome and unique, exemplified by my choice of the Thermaltake tower 500 for my previous builds. Finally that has culminated in this project. Currently un-named and borne out of necessity. This project origins predate the previous log for the now defunct sleeper pc. It's origins lie with the wall PC. The wall PC was my decision to enter into watercooling, something I always wanted to get into. I was scared though, both by the price and the inherent danger of running liquid next to expensive components. Onto the topic, you can find many wall PCs, they have existed for some time, and it is mostly just the pc parts laid flat against the wall. Included are the renders of the planned wall PC, which got to the point of having a frame assembled out of wood. Due to real life circumstances I'm moving to a different room (which is much larger) but does not have the space for such a PC. So on the spot, the wall PC died. I was left wondering what to replace the pc with. I was looking into an asus tuf fishtank pc and distro plate- the problem remains cooling. Until it struck me and I immediately set upon the idea detailed here. Here is the plan: I will use the tower 500. It is a beautiful case, however it will not easily or majestically fit the radiator needed to support the components. I was inspired by this video: In which the tubes rise up from the plate to cool the components and return to the hidden depths. My solution is built on this idea but more elegant and sly. The tower will only have 6 fans (4 visible and 2 in the rear to maintain positive pressure), the minimal needed to cool the RAM and VRM. (could probably get away with two just exhaust on the top). The liquid will be pumped through the loop and- to the table the case is sitting on. Which will be mounted with a modest Nexxos XT45. with it's full 18 fan (all 120mm, this radiator is absurd and I fucking love it) compliment. Kind of overkill but that is already the case when water-cooling. I'd imagine on idle the fans may not even need to kick on. Here is the current parts list: ThermalTake Tower 500 Ryzen 9800X3D MSI X670e Carbon Wi-Fi 96GB (4x24) DDR5 RGB Vengeance Ram RX 7900XT gen5 MP700 Corsair NVME (1TB) (most likely more drives) TBD on the PSU 2x Alphacool core D5/VPP pumps (with an extra one on hand in case a pump fails, or all 3 if 2 aren't powerful enough (they should be)) Alphacool NeXXos 1080mm Nova Bykski GPU waterblock Corsair XC7 CPU waterblock Corsair NVME waterblock (Yes I am waterblocking the NVME) the intake fans may also be fitted with a 240mm radiator if I am so inclined. absurd amount of cooling. Original plans had quick disconnects between the case and the fittings, but they have a lot of resistance and I didn't see them being useful enough when I'd probably want to drain the loop for such things regardless. This PC will be an absolute beast and will look beautiful while doing it. Now to discuss previously mentioned sleeper PC. The card I planned to use (6750XT) was sold to a friend as her 1650 fuckin died from GPU sag. I still plan to build a second pc around my current parts, most likely with a 7700XT or 9060XT 16GB. Much like the pc, the project itself is in a deep slumber, and if my other projects are anything to take examples of- Hello 1:6 Stuart tank it will remain there for a LONG time. Why is this project any different? For one: cost. This project has proven to be EXORBANTANTLY expensive. Side note: Do NOT water-cool, it added well over $1,000 to the budget, and while it is effective seldom is it worth the price. Other projects have been expensive, however as of today. all parts needed have been ordered. So this is truly a "hey I got everything, let's wait for it to get here" I'll do a full spread once I get everything shipped in. Construction will not begin until mid July most likely, as I need to do a lot of cleaning and moving, as well as helping my bestie with her PC. I hope to post updates and I would love to hear names for this PC. I'm currently thinking "the Tower 1080" in reference to the case and radiator used. The next update will most likely be a full view of all the parts.

Also quick update with some sloppy edits of fan placements and also airflow (the PSU will act as exhaust, may replace the internal fan with noctua or bequiet)

Quick update: the seller on ebay got back to me and I have successfully returned the motherboard. That is all for now, I do expect to get some money here soon so I may buy the motherboard and CPU to start building. Will also do more research on the power supply, but can use the one I have in the second pc for now.

Hello all! This is Sam/Milkandoreos/Sarilland/ I have too many names. So I have my main pc with a ryzen 7 5800x and an rx 6750XT. (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4fvcxg) However I do have a second PC with an RX 580 and ryzen 5 1600, which is meant to be sold to my friend. So when that happens I want a second PC, both as a backup and to use with my 50" television. So I was originally looking at ITX cases when I realized I wanted an optical drive. Now I could buy a case with a 5.25" bay, but why do that when I already have 3 old PC cases. Thus, a sleeper PC. Specifically I will be using an old HP pavilion desktop. This was originally my brothers but I did use it for a while before upgrading to a Dell Inspiron for a year or so, getting my first job, and evolving into a PC nerd and building my first PC. I do have my old PC case but it's a slim and I don't wanna deal with that. Plus this is much bigger. Budget is a pretty big concern right now, I'm meant to be saving for a trip early this year so this project will probably be a while in the making. Worth it though! I have a basic idea for a lot of the specifics, for example; I plan to use AM4 as opposed to AM5 for it's cost, this will always be secondary to my main gaming PC, and thus will be less powerful, so this could inherit my ryzen 7 5800x and 6750xt, along with the RAM when I upgrade her to am5 and better parts. Future proofing is cool and honestly I don't play modern games that much, I stick to indie and older titles because I seldom will spend $60 on a game. AM4 also costs way less, as does DDR4. I made a flash purchase of an ASUS PRIME A320M-F, before then realizing it had no RGB and no Pump headers, but it was $51, so if I can't cancel the order it won't be the end of the world. If I can't I would love to get some sort of ARGB 5v controller. Another note is that I plan for the inside to be white while the outside is black, it works better with RGB and nicely contrasts the old black exterior with the new white interior. If I can cancel the order here are the current technical specs: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread RX 580 8GB (god I love this card) and a 650-750 PSU, fully modular given the size constraints. The current plan is to have 2 or 3 120mm intake fans, currently I plan on going with an 'infinity mirror' design for what I can, so I'm looking at the asiahorse cosmiq (1) as I have them in my main build in black and love em, they also have a reverse so they look pretty. If you didn't know or couldn't tell; I prioritize aesthetics. However, with the exhaust fan that definitely isn't the case as I plan to use a noctua (spin on that thang) 80mm grey fan (2), as it's near impossible to find white ARGB 80mm fans and this thing is gonna have it's work cut out for it, given it and the PSU will be the ONLY exhaust fans. The CPU should stay nice and cool though, as the current plan is to use a 120mm AIO. (3) The addition that will make many people cringe is the NVME coolers I plan to use, which are infinity mirror RGB (4) I have one in my main pc and I like it, so why not get another? Another possible addition is RGB cables, but given this is a one chamber case that may just be too much, the lian li definitely wouldn't fit, especially if I keep the optical drive cages. Cable management will be an uphill battle, most likely will require a lot of 3d printing but thankfully I am a CADD god. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXST23P2/ref=twister_B0CGLMBQMN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KF7MVI2/ref=ewc_pr_img_3?smid=A1Z5H6ZGWCMTNX&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C23HZX8Y/?coliid=IC72XJ3J9K73E&colid=1DF6CU1BDKFVJ&psc=1&ref https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7RJG7Z5/?coliid=I2CT59N0O2OYVH&colid=1DF6CU1BDKFVJ&ref Quick ideas to be thrown out in log 00: AM4 Micro ATX motherboards are going to be $200+ in white, and when that's twice the cost of the GPU that makes no sense, so I'll be using a black, but that doesn't go great with the aesthetics, according to a few other people, motherboard heatsinks CAN be painted (https://linustechtips.com/topic/388578-is-it-safe-to-paint-your-motherboard-heatsinks/) so I'd get some good white paint for that and the case. I'm also inspired by the NZXT motherboard (https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Z790-Motherboard-N7-Z79XT-B1-connectivity/dp/B0BG18N3FX/ref) which makes everything look really clean! So I plan to paint the heatsinks white and maybe 3d print or otherwise create some contraption that covers up most of the black motherboard, if I 3d print it I can form factor it to most of the parts like the GPU and CPU cooler, so that will be hype. That's the end of log 00.

You would actually say this in public? Bro it's 2024 smh /j
