Case frame is done.. very tired so just want to sleep… Will post lot of pics 2moro.

Thanks

damn, doing everything by hand???
you sir, are either crazy or totally devoted to your hobby.

i salute your determination(maybe stubbornness )

Mondays Update.
So last Friday I have finished cutting and finalizing the ends of the rods for the case frame.
Now have to drill holes and join the frame together.

First marking center of the rod.

Punching hole for drilling.
*img832.imageshack.us/img832/4958/56769247.jpg

Hand drill in action.
Used new wooden drill bit set.. so drilling was very easy .. First I tried drill bits used for iron,, but they have very small cutting angle , so using with aluminum was very difficult . But wooden drill bit cuts aluminum very easy ..

Primary holes done
*img23.imageshack.us/img23/3644/22588481.jpg

using three incremental sized drill bits , main hole for screw threading done.

4 in the morning finished drilling and threading .. filling and tap holes for screws remains.. just tested how two rods joins.
*img580.imageshack.us/img580/9631/24831014.jpg

Time to join the monster together..

This build can take some time.. since I am fulltime Office employ and family executive at home. So full modding on weekends and tit-bits on weekdays.. you all can understand..

Thanks for watching.

Rakesh Sharma

Shaping up nicely. And don't worry, we have tons of patience. Waiting for the next installment.

Dude you've got some good skills there.

wow!! your instruments!! You rock!!!

Mmm..this guy is a wiz and intelligent too.

You should see his other mods. Superb. Excellent work log. Will follow this one.

w0w, this is like awesome work with GREAT dedication!! COngos sir I must say we all TDF members are hands crossed over ur next show of master piece work

Thanks ..
Will be purchasing Aluminum sheet for outer cover.. today evening..

just look at the fineness of the work. no ugly edges, everything fits togethter perfectly. its quality is just like a branded cabinet!!

very very nice. excellent.where i can find your other works.

Just little suggestion requested from you all guys.. Getting another Mobo for this build .. I am already heaving i7-2600k and Asus P8P67.

So which one to get from these three boards.

Asus P8P67 Pro

Asus P8P67 Deluxe

Asus Sabertooth P67


Thanks..

Sabertooth..... will be the best among all these

Hi..
Just to inform a little change in case plan.

Since aluminum sheet is available in size of 4 x 6 feet ,, and I was using 12 gauge sheet.. so cutting it into right size for to be used on outer side requires a table saw ( I don’t want to go for power tools at all in this build)… and cutting a 12 gauge sheet with hand was very difficult..

So finally I purchased 8mm Hard MFD board… (Since I will be painting the whole case.. MFD or Aluminum sheet it doesn’t matter)

It’s 11 pm and I have finished cutting and fitting MDF board on outer side..

Case is looking real good.. I have made good quarter curve on the top edges .. which was not possible with aluminum.

Later when all cutting and holes for PSU, mob , etc will be done, I will apply a good wood putty and smooth the surface via fine sandpaper ..after painting no joints will be visible and whole outer body will look like a single piece..

Sorry to disappoint if you all were waiting for more aluminum action…

But really cutting a 12 gauge aluminum sheet by hand was very difficult job.. it took me about 10min to just make a 1 inch cut, and I was fully exhausted my hand were paining a lot.. 12 gauge sheet is too hard..

Ones thought I should go for higher gauge .. but they were too thin for the case.. (Since sheet has to be screwed to the frame and clearance between screw head and frame body was equal to 12 gauge)

Will upload some pics soon..

Rakesh Sharma

Disappointed? Not at all. Eagerly waiting for the pics.

waiting for pics.

ok that's fine, if you donot wish to use power tools.

waiting for the next batch of images/pics. (I can't seem to see all the pics above, some bandwith issue with your host I guess, nevertheless, everthing looks so nice and good.)

He's doing this for a very long time, before he even started posting on Indian tech forums. I know, I used to silently see his work on international forums- most of them. When 1 does such work, whoever is into it and/or lurks around will obviously see it.

Respect to the man!

Thanks Sorcerer..

Super build Rakesh bro...

Oh lawd, please post the mockup of this chassis.

@ Rakesh sir:SORRY for asking that HYPER qns. But i am seeing this for the first time. and you know in these days there are many junk people coming and spoiling forum.
( asing u remember that guy who made 1.5 lakh pc and never shows any pic) so at first i think it is all that kind of boasting. Thanks to asing & sorcerer for highlighting the matter. i do respect who are passionate about their works and accomplish it with insane(INTENSE) dedication.
Three cheers for Rakesh Sharma(also remember the name for The first Indian to fly into space) I do not know but probably he is also the FIRST INDIAN TO MAKE THIS

For last few days working on evaporator..
Have destroyed two solid Copper Cylinders worth Rs 4000/- + in making evaporator..
(First wrong measurements and second bad alignment.. my fault)

Have ordered third copper cylinder piece..
This month is not good for me.. Anyway will update as soon as I have something finished.
Rakesh Sharma

uhhh.. evaporator?

Evaporator, it is a unit or better say a chamber where high pressure gas changes it’s phase i.e. from liquid state to gas state.
In this process it absorbs a lot of heat so surrounding temperature go’s very low.

Same as when you spray deodorant on your hand, you feel cold. Pressurized deodorant is in form of liquid inside the can, but when it is spared, it changes its phase state to gas .. and you feel cold.

oh.... I got it... thanks!

@ Rakesh Sir: a little diagramatic explanation will be appreciated. couple of qns hovering in mind:

Say the chamber contains liquid. The liquid will change to gas state when it will absorb more heat dissipiated by system peripherals. Will that gas remain inside the chamber or will go out? will there be a constant supply of liquid inside the chamber or the amount of liquid is fixed? also what is the liquid itself? i do not think it is water which needs 100 degree celcius to start boiling. very confused.

when it goes to vapor state the fan will cool it and comes back to liquid state.in water cooler water is used and system will release more than 100C heat which can easily boil water.i have seen my pentium dual core processor going up to 110C.but in normal air cooler heat pipes usually alcohol is used which has very less BP.even the body temp can evaporate it.correct if i am wrong.
according to my understanding it will be good to use a liquid which has relatively high boiling point because it will absorb more heat from the system to go in to gaseous state.

No no.. it's not like this..
Here liquid is not water..
A gas is compressed on high pressure till it changes it's state to liquid then it goes to the evaporator and there phase change happens and temperature can go way below 0 degree ( -27 to -100 depends on type of gas , quantity and pressure), in this process of phase change gas gets heated up.. so this gas now passes through a heat exchanger or better called a condenser , when it cools to normal temperature this gas again goes back to the compressor.. and this cycle goes on..till you turn off the compressor.

Small update.

A controller or junction board to power fans, LEDs, power relays, etc is ready.

*img703.imageshack.us/img703/335/18567770.jpg

*img193.imageshack.us/img193/7898/38877233.jpg

thank you sir.i got it.here compressed gas needs energy to go back to its original state so it absorbs the heat energy, cooling the system.

oh thanks sir.you are lucky you got that.

Sunday update:

Worked late night and finished all major holes creating work on the case and PSU holder plate also done.
Now in morning testing all fittings.

First some good Black M4 5/6 Screws for fan and Phase changer Controller installed ..

*i52.tinypic.com/30rl449.jpg

*i54.tinypic.com/35bxhlg.jpg


The Phase changer controller can be programmed for ten preset settings.
I have set three settings.
One for max oc.. maintain lowest possible temperature.
Second -2 degree for normal OC
And finally 6 degree for normal working.
It will control the compressor and the condenser fan according to preset setting.


*i54.tinypic.com/2hq9yxz.jpg

Now here comes my bad luck in action.
Controller is working fine . I have programmed it to start my test PSU at 40 degree C , which in turn start all four 140 fans.. cool..
But everything not went like this .
First mistake I selected same single color wires for all AC test wiring. (One must take different color wire for AC , line neural and earth ) then somehow I connected the main AC wires to the controller in such a way that it created a shot circuit better say a big blast and a black out in the house , as soon as I increased the temperature on the sense to 40 degree.
I have killed my brand new controller… Don’t have words to shout on myself
Even after two hours, one can sense a PCB burning type smell in whole house.

do not get disheartened. it is likely that hindrances will come in your way of attaining the ultimate. So just ignore your failures and step ahead. The whole of DIGITIANS ARE WITH YOU. After all it is your battle and you have to win this.

HE who digests the ANGER within himself rather than bursting them out is a man of GREAT PATIENCE


ps: pls use a spoiler for your pics.

You're a true techie, and techie's must not get disheartened by such small things. Plus you're not only a simple techie, rather hell of a techie Nice work progress sir, I'm still wondering from the first day of your thread that how'd the final system look like?

PS- From where did u get that temp monitor? Does it shows just CPU's temp or all temps? Can i install one in mine?

This is shaping up nicely. And don't bother about small failures. Sometimes they are necessary evil. All the best.


And among all the things from Kingston, I like the pen stand most. Reason? Rest can be purchased.

@sujay ,
1. I never said i am not with him. I am following his rig built up very closely.

2. I know things happens which we don't expect to happen.

3. I only was thinking if he has embarked on this route, he should be very careful and know exactly where to put the wires , etc. It can be fatal to his OWN Life.

4. I was only concern about him, because I wanted to see this unique rig till the finish.

My daughter took away the Kingston pen holder from me and placed all her color pens in it.. She too like it very much.

Waiting for copper and controller.. meanwhile will start working on painting the case.. this saturday..

Hope to give some updates by monday..

ok sir.waiting for the pics.

Well when I first saw Rakesh's work a year back on other forum..... I thought if I would have lots of money I will have pulled you out of that Office job and give lot of money to do thing like this.... You are a treasure for India... In spite of having family, office job, other issues you have taken time to keep your great hobby going... If all those company in IT hardware business reading this .... Please release some cabby designed by Mr Rakesh........


And Rakesh can we will be able to see your work personally... Can you arrange something in your city for forum members to see your work....

I do not have word..... I just more proud that people like are here in India....

Keep the good work

Still waiting for evaporator to arrive.. till then build is on temp hold..

ALAS, i am not in your city. for the G.T.

Sir after this build is over can you please make some time & make a post for "DIY for beginners .

Still waiting for evaporator.. mean while just done some new hardware test run and OC the i7-2600k with stock cooler on saturday night.. it was quite a fun.
Sabertooth P67 is a solid board when combined with Kingston Hyper X RAM i got some good result.... below is the best stable OC with Windows booting good and all my program running fine..

I was able to boot windows in safe mode at 5.7 ... hope to do some good OC with Phase Changer unit..

All these with the stock cooler?

OC the i7-2600k with stock cooler

AFAIK, stock cooler of 2600K is a crap. So, I was wondering, how did you manage to OC at 5.15GHz?? Any trick(s) behind that?

Did you ordered it from an online store?

no issue good things takes time...

i thought it will be finished by Diwali and we might get to see it...

but no issue evey dark cloud has silver lining...

I'm speechless seeing this project. I think soon we won't have to look towards the international market for hardware.

I don't think that will happen in next 6-7 years. (think about the cost here)

Yaar......

If I have money I will setup a computer hardware company with Rakesh.....

No one can match Rakesh's work.....

God of Mod......

I am still working on Evaporator... but some financial issues have slowed down the work speed...

Modding is an expensive hobby and specially getting a right part some times burns a hole in the pocket.

But i will finish the build what so ever.. that's sure..

Last time you feared that the evaporator is lost in shipment. So, from the latest post of yours I guess your fear is true, right?

I have seen your work earlier and I have full faith in you...... I wish I could help you with money but I am not rich either..... Apun toh bahot kadka hai yaar.......... I will pray for this system to be built ASAP.... Can't hold the horses......

Yes.. evaporator coming from abroad lost in shipping or customs.. it's still not clear... so i am back to square one..
Yesterday night finished base copper plate for the evaporator... I am going very slow on the lath work for the evaporator this time.. dont want to waste another copper piece..

^^at first attempt you may have failed because of some mistake but that is not important,the thing which matters is you have learnt some thing from that mistake.we people are humans so doing mistake and failing in some work is common but the thing is we should not fail in our whole life, and from seeing your last works i have seen that you are more successful in you life than you failed.so don't think about your past and move on.
i wanted to tell you something from a long period,that machine you made for your office for salary purpose or something with a laptop is really a new invention for me.that thing is just awesome.you have got a lot of intelligence brother,i can clearly make out from that machine.i will say that ,the salary machine you made is a crown for all of your work.

Thanks Sukesh..
Mistakes are part of life... and learning process never ends...

But in my case few mistakes have cost a lot... lost more than 6k in just evaporator..and this have disturbed the finiancial calculation for the build..

As per the portable salary device.. i also love it very much, because this is my first DIY modding which is actually helping someone to make a job easy..and have a practical use too.

Rest all DIY are just for personal purpose only..

Also made a desktop version of the Fingerprint salary software for office staff.. and it's also working fine..

Worked a lot this week end and i have finished the Evaporator... Just brazing and final accembly work is remaining.. will finish it in two or three days..


The bottom face copper base of evaporator, which will have a direct contact with CPU is send for electroplating, to apply a 99% pure silver layer..

After than i will test run with the evaporator and will show you some pics.

^^ want to see your previous works.
pls provide the links.

Any update on your project??

Hello to all.. first sorry for a late update..

Due to some health issue, modding was on hold for me.. but I am fine now, and was working for two days to finish the evaporator. And happy to tell you all that, at last I have finished it.. and test it under high air pressure for any leak… will be assembling the phase change soon.

Here are some pics before final polishing,

Waiting for this to finish.

nice professional coloring of the cabinet.

So Here I am with first Test run of my Phase Changer unit.

Yesterday evening I have started working on the Phase changer.. till 9 PM I am finished all fitting and ready to fill gas a test run..

Since this is initial testing so I have not vacuumed the unit.. instead I have just flushed some gas through first and then just filled the R404a gas.. and started the unit.

Initial temp was good but fine tuning the capillary placement in the evaporator.. I was able to reach
-36C.. YES…COOL

Turned off the unit let it heat up to the ambient temperature.. Now again started the unit to check time used to reach a temperature .. for ambient to -36c in just 3 minutes.. and power consumption is just 0.4 amp …
(All analog and digital thermometer are calibrated in a Laboratory.)

Not tested with 200W- 220v AC of thermal resistance .. At full load for more than ten minutes temperature remains to -32C.. …
Mind I have not vacuumed the unit (It takes about 2 + hours).. after that I hope to reach -40C.. will do vacuum afterwards.


Now assembling the PC together and insulating the evaporator.. it’s 1am so should have a sleep now..

Thats Superb!! Great work!

One of the coolest rigs in India.....most probably the costliest rig too...!
Would burn a "Grand Canyon" in the pocket!!!!!

Do you really think so..
It has not been that costly.

^can it be bought under 80K price tag with all the stuff...if not then it could be costly rig.
And you are building cabinet it from scratch...hats off to you dude!!!!!!!
Do you have your own website??
Seriously dude you can make it a full time profession in building custom rigs....!

No website.. or business setup... just do modding for fun...

There is very little scope of taking modding as a profession in India.. Since i am from a small town.. so scope here is zero..

HAHA!! You the man!!! She's coming up nicely huh?

Thanks... waited long for your comment...

aah I was waiting when will you post next..

Update Soon.. Got my i7 2600k from RMA..
Just working on a Circuit to take over the Phase changer unit to Manual controll when doing overclocking...

Since one need to restart the board again and again while overclocking.. but a Phase changer unit ones shut down.. need a 5 -10 minuite hold before restarting..

To solve this i am working on some thing..

Once done will start Ocing..

Very nicely done. Really nice.

Question:
From what I understand, the unit will power on to cooling mode, once the temperature rises again. How long of a threshold you have in between, i.e. the thermal delta.

I am using a Controller to controll Unit under normal or OC condition..
I can set different profile with different temperature to be maintained...

Unit starts with PC turn on.. and turn off with shutdown.

But when we are doing extreme OC .. one need to change the setting in BIOS again and again and restart frequently... and need constant low temperature...

So a manual controller which will take over the automatic controller, to keep running the unit under frequent restart situations.. and maintain lowest possible temperature..

Are you using the same PSU to power the phase change unit, which powers the rest of the system?

NO... PSU is just for PC.
Phase changer runs on 220v AC... it's Power Management is done by controller.

The rig is awesome. If you would have done all this work in US or any european country, you would have become a star. But for me you are still a supermind, supergenius, supermod.

It is great to see the rig. Is there a chance we can see it personally.

So the compressor will keep running constantly..?

^^ I guess so.

I showed this to few people and a lot of people are impressed that this is happening in India. Resources, money and time is always an obstacle in every country especially when you're the first. What matters is that one is doing and Rakesh has been doing it for a very long time.

Rakesh Sharma

Take care of your health first, the project can wait.

Get well soon.

Thanks..

As you all know that my health is not ok since Jan.

Finally It was diagnosed that I am having a spinal spondylosis.

So had my spine surgery on 23-april. Today I am felling fine and can work on laptop..



But full recovery will take a month more..So till then build is on hold.

Rakesh Sharma

Sorry to hear that. I hope everything's fine now. Get well soon.

Good work man and hope you get well soon.

One doubt- What is the approx power consumption of the rig in KW?

no worry health first

Hello to all.


After four months off from Pc modding Now iam fine and back in action.
Made some insulation fixtures for Phase changer unit.
Added another controller SMPS Pcb.
Some cable management.
Added handmade power/restart switches and knobs
