Corsair Obsidian 800D "Skull Crusher" Completed

[Kole208]

if only i could get someone to build me a pc like that id i wouldn't care how much theyd charge me... well i would but still!!!!

[Masterfighterx]

Where do you get those special cables that doesn´t fill your back of the case like a whale? :/

[skyboy123454321]

wish i had the money to get rid of my CM elite 335u and get one of these where my case won't look like a box o' cables

[maxoomen]

Crazy mod. I like it.

Only the front looks a bit ugly with all the different stuff.

[winghyro]

what I most like about this mod is the cable management.. great job !

[thecooldude71]

Not trying to be rude but it looks ugly from all the mods you did to it, i know it performs well, but still man.

[WestCoastMods]

@thecooldude71 No worries bro, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. However many others and the client love it....Maybe you should rad some of the comments below.

[thecooldude71]

@WestCoastMods Ok

[JDSIMON2]

Awesome cable management cool vid.

[a98pmalcolm]

loving the cable management! :)

[Jay11Block]

can you guys do something amazing with that new cosmos 2 case because everything you do is bad ass and i wanna see what you can do with that monster

[chiyusuru]

Is it just me or did you use 2 crossfire bridges to link 2 cards together?

[Mrmr2r]

Waaaaay better than mine... Fucking jelly..

[SherlocksFlag]

Nerdgasm

[Cenobita91]

fuck is very cool

[Candy2Lolipop]

it's wonderful, the way this was customized is great

[guitarherofreak161]

sweet m8 ive used your vid for the cable management though i did not liquid cool my stuff but uses a lot of fans and a mugen 3 in push acelerate config. liked :D

[HALU07]

i felt in love with the asian girl my oh my oh my ~_~,

[WhatsCS]

Jesus, your cable management is amazing. I have the same case, and I think I might use yours as a template for wire management.

[WestCoastMods]

@WhatsCS Awesome bro....glad you like it.

[Marsman7263]

@WestCoastMods Hay Awesome Skull Crusher man, where did you get those fans at???

[AIRViZzIoNZz]

how long time have you spind to build your pc? :)

[1308joey]

fucking epic this is a true gaming pc pimp and strong to the 25 ppl who dislike

fucking boos pc.

this is the reason of 2012 has not come yet. because its fuck awsome

[WestCoastMods]

@1308joey Thanks buddy!

[lillskiten1337]

Can an intel xeon processor ever be used for gaming purposes? Or is the intel core i7 far better?

[WestCoastMods]

@lillskiten1337 A Xeon can be used for gaming even though it is a workstation CPU. But, normally the Xeon is used in a dual CPU setup.

[That1314Dude]

Oh that's sweet! I came here to see a build using the 800D because I am building a new rig. You just game lots of ideas! Thanks for sharing. So how much would the something like that cost?

[WestCoastMods]

@That1314Dude PM me if your interested in have a rig built.

[registerme2]

Useless. Instead of music perhaps you could provide insight.

Talk about the design, What worked, what didn't. Why you choose the components you did, What you discarded & why. Any perf metrics you gained.

Any idiot can put a few graphics cards & fans in a big case with water cooling. As you had nothing of value to add, I guess this is yet another example?

[WestCoastMods]

@registerme2 Glad you like it.....if you want more there is a 30min vid discussing the build....

Btw...I don't see any vids on your channel, and nothing showing your rig.....lol

btw the way this was for a client...so I could give a rats ass what you think.....but I can tell you that my wallet is fatter now....

[theripoff20]

Only i that thinks of epic meal time? :P

[AidlerH]

And to this day, he still uses it to browse Facebook. :p

[MrPcbuilder23]

sexy as fk



[P1xelVandal]

The death of an 800D occurred in the build :(

May it R.I.P

[UrHideless]

Can it play Solitaire?

[millzie5]

ouch g-skill ram at 1666 ...



[Brianpilotdude]

@cozzo707

That is the question.

[cozzo707]

but ill it blend?

[ELPCPU]

@cozzo707 It is too big to blend, I guess.

[inseiin]

@cozzo707 No it wont you retard :)

[Beriphent]

This is one of my favorite mods!

[zalous73]

Your work is great.

[036222ify]

6442450944 Bytes of RAM?? and a q-q-quad core 4200000000Hz processor?!?!?

Incredible, just incredible. Even my Dell latitude C400 looks slow compared to this rig.

[edstar83]

Dude...

[Landrar]

There is one major flaw with this build. I really can't believe you guys overlooked this.

The flaw? You didn't send it to me. :-D

Great build guys. Almost makes my U2-UFO look plain...almost. lol

[WestCoastMods]

@Landrar It's a flaw that I will not overlook again...... thanks for bring that to my attention. lol

[CL4WBOUND]

Great looking mod. Love the theme :)

I have a question though - @2:43 the heat shrink on the sleeves aren't of equal length. I am trying to sleeve my 8pin ATX extender and I am experiencing the same problem >.<

is there a way to circumvent this issue? Did you find any way?

[WestCoastMods]

@CL4WBOUND Yeah, i also have similar problems with MDPC-X sleeving. I use Kobra High Density sleeving now which is measured 1/8" OD where all other sleeving including MDPC-X is measured 1/8" ID. With the smaller Kobra sleeving it goes right in to the connector. I will send you a Pm with a link to some pics.

[lillskiten1337]

@WestCoastMods hey i love it :) can you give me tips for how to make the cable management that great, and how many fan controllers is needed to have 24 fans in a setup?

[WestCoastMods]

@lillskiten1337 Thanks bro, you can run multi fans on one channel, but you need to see how many watts per channel your fan controller has and then how many watts you fan needs to run. Then you will know how many fans you can run to a single channel. And what system are you building that would need 24fans.....way overkill and it's going to be a mes with all the wiring.

Good luck

LazyMan

[lillskiten1337]

@WestCoastMods yep that is how a computer is supposed to be XD or perhaps 4 fan controllers with 6 channels each.

If "IF!!!!" i ever get to create such a monster gaming rig i will simply call it nightmare or something similar, nightmare reaper or something XD

[WestCoastMods]

@lillskiten1337 Sounds good....

[lillskiten1337]

@WestCoastMods Is it ok if i use a picture of your pc this corsair 800d on an english lesson?

[WestCoastMods]

@lillskiten1337 NP, just give me the credit

[lillskiten1337]

@WestCoastMods I am not going to give you my credit card XD

Have given you credits now ^^

[WestCoastMods]

@lillskiten1337 Not sure what you mean?

[lillskiten1337]

@WestCoastMods XD nothing at all :)

Keep up the good work with the computers, i love the cable management you do :)

[aadlysyafiq]

epic win

[RoyLFewkes]

did anyone besides me get really hungry at the start of this video for some reason?

[WestCoastMods]

@RoyLFewkes Hungry?...oh from the advertisement...lol

[RoyLFewkes]

@WestCoastMods ha noo.. the song that is played in the beginning is also played in the epic meal time videos!

[WestCoastMods]

@RoyLFewkes It's part of Pro Scores sound effects.....Alot of ppl have it.....LOL

just Google it....

[RoyLFewkes]

@WestCoastMods Yes! I know its part of Pro Scores! But in a way its like Pavlov's theory of Classical conditioning. The dog heard the bell and started to salivate because of food. And much in the same way, I hear that song and start to salivate because of Epic Meal time! Never the less, i really enjoyed the video!!

[WestCoastMods]

@RoyLFewkes Thanks bud, but if you listen to both of them right after one another.....you will see that they are slightly different.....it's just a bunch of sound effects that Meal Time and I put together....It's is a coincidence that they sound so similar...:-)

[RoyLFewkes]

@WestCoastMods ohhh really!! nice nice!! hey did you get my comment on another one of your videos? it was an 800d top grill modding video where you cut the top grill out, i had a question so yeah

[WestCoastMods]

@RoyLFewkes Don't know...send me the question again.....through a PM

[hermitsvodka23]

are u selling this if not can you make me one?

[WestCoastMods]

@hermitsvodka23 All ready sold.....PM me if you need a build done.

[hermitsvodka23]

dude how do get the water colling system like that i feel retarded trying to get the right parts

[WestCoastMods]

@hermitsvodka23 It's not easy...order what you think you will need. Then as you start assembling it, you will find that you may need something else or more of a particular fitting.

Good luck

LM

[funkyhz]

alot of bling bling but no compression fiting???

[WestCoastMods]

@funkyhz client choice

[msi48701gb]

its a huge time bomb of gaming world..lol

[Flightmode747]

man if i got a dollar for everytime i watched this vdieo i could of bought 2 of the skullcrusher.....its just to amazing.......nice work bro

[WestCoastMods]

@Flightmode747 Thanks buddy.....if i could afford it i would sent you a dollar every time you watch it....lol

[Flightmode747]

@WestCoastMods lol hahahaha just continue with the good work and that will be good enough

[fullinfusion]

cool video and sweet azz build. But the video was about 6 min to long.I think we all got the idea.

[div5730]

it s not perfect....2:10.....if u see that??!

[WestCoastMods]

@div5730 What is at 2:10...just looked and I am not sure what you are seeing?

[FrostyTheBeerMan]

hi guys, does anyone know if you can boot from either of the 2 hot swappable drive bays ?  thanks for any info

[WestCoastMods]

@FrostyTheBeerMan There are 4 hot swap bays in the 800D, and you can boot from anyone of them.

[FrostyTheBeerMan]

@WestCoastMods oops, I posted to the wrong video, the question was meant for the Haf-X. Thanks for clarifying my mistake though ( doh ! ) , would you know if the HAF-X is bootable on those 2 front hot swappable bays ?

[WestCoastMods]

@FrostyTheBeerMan Np..... I wouldn't see why not, what makes you think that they wouldn't be?

[FrostyTheBeerMan]

@WestCoastMods well, i thought that perhaps these would only be hot swappable, but wouldn't pick up the OS upon booting, as if these bays are or were meant for data only, but the OS would have to boot from a drive hooked to the other internal drive bays.

[TheEmil2007]

very fine job, I watch each serial almost 4-5 times ,I leave in Romania , and here we have no modding shops, perhaps you can help me with some good modding shops in usa, and please pls pls post one video with how you realise those rails for switches&fans, because i buy some Enermax apollish and seems that those fans have own led/speed electrical circuits.....

ps mail me to emil_2007@clicknet.ro to give me some asistance (send me please your price quote to build one new pc please),

[WestCoastMods]

@TheEmil2007 I sent you a email, did you get it.

[PersonalConspiracys]

such a nice case... but i cant afford it

[misterpc23]

Very very nice! You did a great job on this case :D

[WestCoastMods]

@misterpc23 Thanks...

[jezbong]

This is still by far the most amazingly gorgeous 800D setup I've ever seen.

[WestCoastMods]

@jezbong Thanks buddy...

[FpsMercenary]

how did you mod the fan where the how swap was? im looking to buy this case and i would love to know!!

[WestCoastMods]

@FpsMercenary not sure what you mean, I just changed the fan and added on on the other side..... then cut holes in the panels. really nothing to it.

[Zillamp3z]

wat cpu water block is that?

[WestCoastMods]

@Zillamp3z Specs in more info....

[CossuMaister]

Sup guys? did you see me in this video??!?!

Im the brown Crossfire bridges!!!!!!!!

[bornwisedistruction]

wholy hell look at the wiring job that alone makes me afraid of the cost, looks great well crafted man!

[WestCoastMods]

@bornwisedistruction Thanks bud...but thats how I do all my builds....just look at some of the builds with cable mgmt. in the title.

[OverclockedGamerRO]

but damn awesome computer, hope you enjoy the max out of it!

[WestCoastMods]

@OverclockedGamerRO Thanks....The owner sure will/has.

[OverclockedGamerRO]

Put some NOS ! =))

[Nefus1988]

19 Console kiddies gave this thumbs down!

[WestCoastMods]

@Nefus1988 thanks.....it's all good though. keeps me humble. :-)

[robertduckyworth]

lol, id laugh if it was a pentium 4 under there

[WestCoastMods]

@robertduckyworth Is that the best you can come up with??

[EsSplicit]

nice vib bro.....one question, can the XSPC 360 kit push an extra 240 rad? im geting the 800D case so im ganna mount the 360 at the top and a 240 at the bottom. also im wondering if my 6990 and CPU will be ok to watercool in that single loop?

[WestCoastMods]

@EsSplicit With the two rads you should be alright cooling you CPU and GPU. Thats kinda the set up I had in this build.

[EsSplicit]

@WestCoastMods so there is only one water pump in the skull crusher rig?

[WestCoastMods]

@EsSplicit No there are 2 pumps...they are mounted under the reservoir.

[goldsworthyjosh]

Mate how much was that 800D?

[WestCoastMods]

@goldsworthyjosh to build it? or what the client had in it?

[goldsworthyjosh]

@goldsworthyjosh Sorry, I mean specifically the 800d case. How much was the chassis itself?

[MrBurnzio]

Can you make my toaster look as cool as this too! :D

[WestCoastMods]

@MrBurnzio Sure..just sent it to me...:-)

[MrBurnzio]

@WestCoastMods :D... But you can't use it though >:l .. I still have cuts on my hands from clearing out the crumbs at the bottom. That is a toasters one major flaw -.,_,.- ... But still :D

[goldsworthyjosh]

Mean. Straight up.

[WestCoastMods]

@goldsworthyjosh Thanks

[NIGHTMAREger94]

WHAT THE FUCK !!?!??!?! it must have cost about 10k bucks to build i guess >.<

MAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA i want it tooooooo

[WestCoastMods]

@NIGHTMAREger94 Not quite 10k........but still a pretty penny.

Thanks for your comment........

[emzomia04]

what the..... I feel something hot on my undies... OMG i jizzed on my pants!

[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 I hope it was Gooooood!

[emzomia04]

@WestCoastMods it is men! im watching this before I sleep, eat, go out and when I wake up! why the fck does it have to be so damn wonderful!!!

[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 Dam dude...you must know the video by heart....lol

I sure you have seen the 30min narrated version of this video.....

Thanks for all your support

[emzomia04]

@WestCoastMods if only I live it US and can afford that shit... i'll gonna buy and give it to you, and buy it again! hahaha,,, sorry dude,, im so addicted for the craftmanship XD



[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 Thanks bro..yeah the original client did offer it to me at a really great price, but I already have several rigs and my wife would not have been to happy with me...lol

[emzomia04]

@WestCoastMods hahaha, lol, your wife should be proud of you. btw, is that your business or something? how much do you earn per order?

[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 I work a regular 40hr or more job...I lust do this on the side. Prices vary depending on what the client wants and how much work is involved.

[emzomia04]

@WestCoastMods i see... how did you learn to do this stuff? y'know... im a PC fan! i own one but not as wonderful as this one :D

any chances that i could do this?

[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 Just time and practice......you to can do it ...just have patience and take your time.

[emzomia04]

@WestCoastMods is there a video that you show how to manage wires? coz it pisses me off >.< i cant even hide a single wire T__T

btw Mr. WestCoastMods, tnx for complying to my messages :))

[WestCoastMods]

@emzomia04 No I don't have a cable mgmt. video...I will try to do one soon.

[MrJulius855]

How long did it take?

[WestCoastMods]

@MrJulius855 Lets just say this isn't a weekend project?....lol

[Valadcm500]

Yo lazy man would you be kind enough to tell me how you did that slide panel one the side (The carving)

[WestCoastMods]

@Valadcm500 I etched it out with a rotary tool and a etching bit. I plan on doing a video sometime on it.

[Valadcm500]

@WestCoastMods I will really appreciate if you could make a video but only if you have time i know that you are a busy lazyman LOL (thank you for every single reply ...thumbs up if you agree guys)

[WestCoastMods]

@Valadcm500 No problem...I will try to make one the next time I do a etching.

[2stent]

@WestCoastMods Yeah LazyMan I would be intrigued to see how this is done for a future build of my own!

[WestCoastMods]

@2stent It will be a while, but I will eventually do a "How-To" video

[nakatabrother]

This case looks like a case that chaos players from dawn of war will use lol , DIE HERETIC

[WestCoastMods]

@nakatabrother Is that a good thing or a bad thing....?

[OthersShallFall]

i wanna do that same thing, for the fan gards. But how did u make those designs ! is that using a metal shop or idk! :) please answer this. Awsome set up!

[WestCoastMods]

@OthersShallFall The fan grills are from MNPCTECH.......just look for the skull ones. The are made from acrylic.

Good luck

LazyMan

[OthersShallFall]

@WestCoastMods thanksss bro, i need some toxic symbols for the new rig im selling check out my channel

Thank you

OSF

[leafboy412]

@WestCoastMods some of the best cable management ive ever seen. you take pc modding to a hole new level man. btw what is that EK Crossfire Bridge Wateblock called @ 2:24 ???

[WestCoastMods]

@leafboy412 The main connector is the EK-FC Bridge DUAL Parallel, then you need a EK FC Link R58XX CrossFire for each GPU. The main bridge comes in parallel or series and the links are specific for a given GPU. EK supports SLI or Crossfire. Search around for your particular GPU's...

[kingdom9214]

so badass but why a 930 and 5870's  ???????

[WestCoastMods]

@kingdom9214 Not sure, but this is what the client purchased way back...

[kingdom9214]

@WestCoastMods Either way that is one of this sickest case mods i've ever seen

[illkillyoubitch]

@kingdom9214 What's wrong with those two choices? They still bad ass parts. I actually prefer a good solid X58 rig over a P67 or Z68. I have a Z68 rig as well, but they are boring as hell to tinker with... There's just not much there to tweak. I'm hoping the 970 will get a price drop since the new 980 locked chip came out...

[kingdom9214]

@illkillyoubitch Thats what im talking about, Why a 930 that should be a 980x or 990x, and 5870's should be 6970's or GTX 580's, I'm just saying usally a badass rig has top end parts

[WestCoastMods]

@kingdom9214 Dude you need to get out on the forum more often and see what ppl are putting into the awesome mods........sometimes it blows me away on the low end components they use. maybe they are sponsored and thats why the components are a little on the weak side. But as far as this the client had already dumped over 5k on this thing...he didn't have another $1000+ to but top of the line components.

[HennesseyHPE1000]

@WestCoastMods why not compression fittings? idk if the client chose the barbs, only because i want to watercool with compression fittings and didnt know if you had something against them because if you did, i probably would follow your advice :D

[WestCoastMods]

@HennesseyHPE1000 Yeah, the client choose the barbs...I guess he was trying to save a few bucks as the compression fittings are a little bit more, and when you multiply that by about 30 or more fittings, it can add up. I prefer compression fittings myself if the client can afford it.

[HennesseyHPE1000]

@WestCoastMods yea that is understandable it is annoying for a full loop that the compression fittings cost a good 100$ and up

[WestCoastMods]

@HennesseyHPE1000 Yeah, I think it may cost a litle bit more than that....for instance we used all Bit Power fittings from PPC's and the barb fittings ranged from $8 to $12 each using all rotary fittings for the 90 deg and 45's....had the client gone with compression fittings it would have been between $8 to $17, $18, $19 for the same rotary fittings....and I believe I used around 30 fittings in the Skull Crusher...so it was approx. $300 just for the fittings if I use $10 as the average....

[HennesseyHPE1000]

@WestCoastMods well yes, for such an advanced setup like your stuff it does get pricey for all that ;D i was talking like a more basic setup with pump/res combo and cpu and gpu, no mobo or memory coolin

[koop39]

loods fuckin awesome!

[WestCoastMods]

@koop39 Thanks bro

[SApcGUY]

how much did this pc cost ?!!!!!!!

[WestCoastMods]

@SApcGUY The client had invested over 5k on the components plus my labor fee's.

[Thyme000]

I'm jealous.... If you EVER! feel the need to just give someone an epic top performing PC.... I'm here lol. Nice custom built PC I'm sure your client was super satisfied!

[madebarriere]

I wish i had a pc like this =(

[kokfah]

by far, the best i've ever seen. gr8 job!! :)

[WestCoastMods]

@kokfah Thanks bro

[animal1853]

I Wanna build same that this one case too....

[babydash123]

was it hard to remove the heatsinks etc from The Motherboard to install watercooling ? you see, i really want to watercool it :)
