The house is empty again, and I've resumed work on my computer case. On my existing computer, I had some serious issues. The water-cooling rig...
Hmm. We do netboot all the time using Mac systems. I'd have to do some looking to see how that sort of thing works with Windows systems, but...
Hey, the boot-on-LAN thing is a good idea. I'll probably set it up for both options, vandal switch in front and NIC-controlled startup. My...
Updates I got a bit of work done on it over the weekend. 0.05" aluminum is thicker than I anticipated, but not a bad thing. Initially, I had...
Rather than going through the effort of custom radiators, I'm going to go with Black Ice GT 120x2 radiators, but I'll need four of them....
Thoughts I plan to have the four cluster-nodes connected to the initiator through a gigabit swtich built within the case. If I use the...
Clustering mostly for Lightwave and sometimes maybe for Mencoder, if I can get that one figured out. I did some looking around, and a working...
Changes :eyebrow: I promise, the design of the case isn't going to change drastically again. And, the two style changes weren't entirely by...
Looking at cost / performance, it makes more sense to buy the radiators than to try to make them myself.
Hmm. So, in all three instances, the radiator has sort of a collection chamber at both connections and uses flattened tubes to send the water...
When you're putting together a water-cooling rig for you computer, which type of radiator do you go with? Do you choose one with round tubing...
Base design Thanks for the interest in the project. I ordered aluminum this morning, enough to complete the base of the case, as shown below....
Design change Alrighty. The case has taken a fairly dramatic change. It's now more radial and less compartmental. It's built to contain five...
I do have a worklog of an unnamed SATA enclosure. That turned into this. I'm currently taking measurements and putting together a list of...
Drive array I was looking at that cage initially, but in the end, it took up too much space. I changed my drive layout and am going with the...
I'm playing around with different construction methods, some of which might eliminate most of the aluminum structure of the case, therefore making...
This might do it. http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/12211 If I could find bare connectors for sale, I'd be happy, but these little things...
Hmm. After seeing that one, I thought it might be nice to see something like that, supplying drive connectors on one side and connectors for...
Mechs I've played with the idea of making a BattleMech computer case but size and shape is always an issue. I'm anxious to see how this thing...
I'm looking for internal enclosures. Yeah, the Icy Dock is probably the most compact design I've seen yet and looks like they have 3s, 4s and 5s....
