CPU3D HydroBox III Update (3rd October)

We have a slight setback. We have been informed that the Coolermaster CM Stacker 832 Chassis and the Real Power M850 PSU have to be returned. :(

The HydroBox III project now needs a new chassis and power supply. This is very unfortunate and we will be searching for new sponors.

We will keep you up to date on this ...

UPDATE (5th October)

Looks like Coolermaster has decided to change their minds ... It's now OK for us to use the samples for our HydroBox III project. The project is now back on track ... and at this point I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Coolermaster, YoYoTech and Maggie ;-)

Let's hope there aren't anymore set backs ... However, we're still waiting on Asus to give their answer on the P5E3 Deluxe motherboard. Nine times out of ten, when we put a request through, they normally would sponsor and support us. We will have to wait and see ...

In the meantime ... checkout what's been happening here ... http://www.cpu3d.com/content/view/2158/25/

HydroBox III Weblog (Part 3) - Putting it all together

Well it's Monday morning ... and I've got some time spare, so I decided to continue where we left off in our HydroBox III (TM) Ultimate Project. In this edition of our weblog, we will be installing the motherboard and fitting the tubing to the waterblock, radiator, pump and flow meter.

Once fully fitted, the next step is to fill the system with coolant. Not an easy task ... but we managed. Check out the photos below ...
