ZOTAC Mod Box

Mac Daddy · Jun 28, 2009, 03:26 PM

Thanks for the additional pics man what a nice mod this has turned out to be

Bolletje · Jun 29, 2009, 02:54 PM

Hehe, ok. I'm looking forward to when it's done.

Good luck with the final adjustments.

coolmister · Jun 29, 2009, 08:09 PM

Cheers guys

click it.......you know you want to

Took onboard a new sponsor that i've not worked with in the past so big shout out to Primochill for getting me a stack of gear over today including a couple of their new Typhoon III res/pump combos which i got to say look great though i would of preferred a more clean look on the front end for this mod but i'm certainly not complaining and lets give them a chance and see how they look once they got coloured liquid in (orange in the top and black in the lower one)

Quality seems great and the D5's mount perfectly and have no doubt they will bleed just as good as the DDC ones i made a while back so looking forward to getting these filled up.

Anyway, still waiting on fittings to get any further on but here's a few pictures of Typhoon III's both in and out the case...

I really wanted to hang fire and go Tri-Sli 285's but had a whole bunch of 7/16" Bitspower fittings and some Tygon hose here and basically couldn't wait any longer to get things started so ended up going with Skulltrail and pulled the 295 Infinity's from a previous mod which is a bit of a shame but at least it should be up and running tonight

I agree.

I don't know if I want to game on it or program it to enslave humanity. It looks like it is beefy enough to do either or.

For the CPU's you also use a 240 rad?

And are you planning to do something with lights? UV blue maybe (with the blue blast from te dragon?)

And are that stickers from Zotac on the GPU blocks or paint?

DJ BIG T · Jul 5, 2009, 02:34 AM

wow you got it going on with them cases..

tanka12345 · Jul 5, 2009, 06:15 AM

Looks so simple but so awesome! Nice work!

procupine14 · Jul 6, 2009, 09:25 PM

its beautiful

coolmister · Jul 9, 2009, 11:29 PM

Thanks so much for all the feedback which leads me to believe there is certainly a place for this type of thing on driverheaven

You guys are probably sick of seeing this crap and i wasn't going to post this but its something a little different this time.......honest

I used 1mm aluminium epoxied to 3mm plexi then cut the letters out with my trusty fret saw then sanded down the edges and polished the fronts which gives the whole thing a different dimension.

I just got to figure out how to LED these things up to get a nice glow coming from the edges just like the ZOTAC logo so i'm off to try a few things.

Chaos · Jul 9, 2009, 11:32 PM

nice touch

Mac Daddy · Jul 10, 2009, 02:24 AM

The final touch's

procupine14 · Jul 10, 2009, 06:00 PM

Definitely something different and something very nice to finish off the top. Very cool idea with the plexi and the aluminum. It looks great.

coolmister · Jul 12, 2009, 11:00 PM

Got some LED's hooked up to light them there ZOTAC letters up

Mac Daddy · Jul 13, 2009, 12:02 AM

Nice touch

Chaos · Jul 13, 2009, 03:06 AM

simple yet elegent

procupine14 · Jul 14, 2009, 05:36 PM

I like that. Definitely the little things that make a huge difference.

Optix · Jul 25, 2009, 06:43 AM

You're a freak, dude.
