    This is what I have made recently.
    It was built as a joke.

    Parts are:
    MSI HD4780 512mb OC Edition, now has the stock cooler back on.

    Things were getting a bit hot so I added a pair of 120mm fans.

    Things to do are to add some on/off switche, reset switch, power LED, and hard disk LED.
    Not sure how to do the water cooling.
    Various other random pictures are found here:

    At least it's better looking than the pc you're replacing!

    Reminds me on an old 486 "server" I once made by dumping everything into a shoe box with a single 90mm fan for cooling.

    It looked crap, and it was crap.

    At least yours is useful.
