Here is a quick rundown of the system I'm about to build. Please look it over and tell me what you think. I already have most of the parts, so please don't say things like "Intel sux, LOL" or other pointless comments.

I'm getting the PC-7 Plus and here is everything I want to put in it (long list)

PCP&C 510W PCI-E
DFI 875P-T
P4 560 (maybe a 6xx later)
BFG 6800 Ultra w/ NV Silencer 5
Audigy ZS
NEC-3500
AOpen DVD-ROM
Sunbeam Rheobus
Hauppauge PVR (not sure which one yet)
My trusty Raptor
LSI MegaRAID SATA 4-150
4 x WD2500JD Drives
DD TDX 775 block
DD12V-D4 pump
BIX or similiar 120mm radiator


OK, a lot of stuff - here is how I want to set everything up:

  • Panaflo M1A fan in PSU and the 120mm Yate Loom at the top as a cold air intake
  • Another 120mm Yate Loom in the front intake cooling the hard drives
  • Remove the HDD cage from my case and replace the crappy one that comes with the PC-7, instead of using rivets, I'm going to bolt it in and use some rubber washesr to reduce vibration noise
  • I've got those Vantec rubber vibration reducers for all the fans and for the PSU
  • The rear 120mm exhaust is where I want to put my radiator - really the only place since it won't fit in the top with the PSU duct
  • I only have 120mm to work with width wise, so the 132mmBIX may not work, if it doesn't I'll probably get the Aqua Extreme rad, either way, I want to put it on the outside and have a 120mm fan on both sides of it - one inside the case, one outside on the otherside of the radiator
  • I'll probably cut out the 3.5" drive case and mount my pump in the empty space
  • The pump will be hooked to the Sunbeam Rhoebus, so I can lower the voltage if its too loud. I'll have the pump on 1 channel, the 120mm fan in the blowhole on the other, the intake fan on the 3rd, and finally the 2 radiator fans on the 4th channel
  • I'll probably go ahead and put a 5.25 reservior in the last remaing drive bay and leave the front cover off so you can see the water
  • Speaking of water - I want a neon blue dye for it and I want to put one of those anodized fillports in somewhere
  • Every wire will be sleeved in black and all visable molex connectors will also be black.
  • The hard drives will be turned backwards so none of the power or data connections will be visible.
  • The CD drives will be stealthed and I'll have a hole in the side panel so all the PSU wires will be hidden behind the MB tray.
  • I've even got a black fan grill for the blowhole fan


Whew, what a list...that's about everything I can think of, and surely enough to get a good picture of where I'm headed - what do you think?

I'm going for clean, simple, and neat
