after a year of living with a hot shuttle box and laptop i was able to rebuild a water-cooled system. well, more like after a year of being deployed i'm finally home again lol, but anyways....
some of you may remember that i posed an issue i had with the post office where they basically destroyed the shuttle i used to have. well after a couple of months, they said it looks like i did everything right and that it would get paid on my insurance claim, so i went ahead and purchased new parts:
1 x a64 3400+
2 x 512mb crucial ballistix ddr
1 x 6800gt
added that to stuff i had already purchased for this build and have the following:
oooohhhh.....
mmmmm.....
sweet bubbly goodness....
and a little bit of bling.
lian-li pc76 server case (huge) stuffed with liquid-gaming goodness. using dfi lanparty mobo (and onboard sound, it's not bad at all) and my old-school-customized-for-110v-waterpump enermax psu, it's up and running like a charm. some specs-
chassis & air:
lian-li pc76 case (6 x 5.25, 2 x 3.5, 12 x hdd)
431w enermax psu (modded w/ 110v connector, 80mm and 92mm panaflo L @ 5v each)
4 x 80mm panaflo L (intake)
4 x 120mm evercool aluminum (1 intake, 3 exhaust through radiator)
crystalfontz lcd display
lian-li card reader
0 x lights, windows
cooling:
swifty mcw6000 cpu block
dd 6800 block
eheim 1048 pump
thermochill 120.3 rad
aqua-tube res
3/8" tubing (yep, so much easier to route than 1/2")
components (in addition to what i already mentioned):
74gb raptor hdd
lite-on dvdrw
lite-on dvd/cdrw combo
it's pretty bare on the storage side for right now since i'm still living off of a 200g external drive, i plan to add at least 2 x 250gb hdds in the near future. i know the cd-rom drive covers weren't meant for use with this model of chassis, but that was a fairly simple fix.
as far as the tower itself, it was expensive but i love it. the quality is superb and there is enough room inside to load up 2TB of storage without a problem and still have a quick gaming piece. i shoved the pump inside one of the hdd cages though to kinda clean up the look a little, so i only have 6 slots available instead of 12. relocating the pump is easy though.
