BaDassII

BaDassII is the dual Opteron liquid cooled replacement for BaDass.

I can't link the pics here, so take a peek over here: http://www.modthebox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB...082;start=11#11 (http://www.modthebox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=mtblogs;action=display;num=107678108 2;start=11#11)

Awesome design :)

:blink:

Works for me! B)

Hey Dutch, seeing as you got access to some serious aluminium milling, can we talk sometime? :p

Wow. I'd seen it briefly elsewhere but didn't realise the depth of construction that had gone into it. :o
Awesome. B)

I'm a little surprised that you didn't stick with anodising, what with all the parts I can see being Alu anyway but as you mentioned, it's hard for us to get a good idea of the finish in those shots (me wants to see it in person).


Hows your parallel cooling circuit working out?
I can't wait to see it with the internals done too. :wub:

Nexxo... aren't you across the pond? Could make things tough.

Pug... The parallel curcuit should work fine, especially in this rig because with the Opterons I think it's kinda overkill anyway... we'll have to see.

As to the finish... it really is awesome. It's more scratch resistant than anodizing and in person it looks simply awesome. It has a real hi-tech professional look about it, until the lights go on.

The internals... I'm hoping D-Tek makes a nice mounting for A64's. I thought about PolarFLO blocks but their A64 answer is kinda half-arsed. It shouldn't be too awful much longer. :D

[Nexxo]

Yeah I am... never mind, would be way too impractical! Still I think you ought to put those grill covers up for sale!

I must get myself a mill or something...

Thats amazing dutch! :o I think i prefered the sliver and black but thats just personal preference. The time you've taken with the design and build really shows. Nice 1! B)
