    Hello all...greetings from Miami, Florida,

    I wanted to share a picture of a new project I am working on. It is an acrylic case that will house a water cooled Iwill MPX2 motherboard driving 2-AMD 2100+ MPs.

    Comments and suggestions are welcome...Thanks!

    Cheers!

    That is a lamp...It sits on my desk at home (not in the case)...LOL

    The transparent nature of the case (and my bad photography skills) makes it difficult to distinguish alot of the details.

    Cheers!

    Personally I think a showerhead would be a nice touch....with the water cooled system and all.

    Is that a cutom case?? Cos it looks a lot like the ClearPC styling and I know ClearPC are bringing something new out...

    The side panel is exactly the same as the side panel on a ClearPC..

    nice set up BTW :D

    Yeah, it was hard to tell, these new flatscreen monitors we got here at work pixelate the hell out of pics. BTW, I didn't mention before, but great work.

    The case was custom fabricated for me by a Canadian company; Acrylic PC.

    It is exactly the same styling as ClearPC's case (I believe they all outsource their jobs to the same fabricator. That is why all these companies are located in British Columbia, Canada).

    The dimensions of the case's interior are as follows:
    36"x18"x14" (92cmx46cmx36cm).
    There are 10 exposed 5.25" bays and openings for 5-120mm fans

    Here is another picture of the empty case

    Damn, how much did that set you back?

    How heavy do you figure the case is going to weigh with all the components installed? How thick is the acrylic on the case? Do oyu think the weight might have a chance of cracking the case when moved?

    With a case that big it makes me wonder why you just don't rig all your computer componets to a wall in your bedroom and save yourself the money in the case.

    Probably because he wanted a case this big? He had it custom made...:rolleyes:

    And I'm guessing that her indoors would have something to say about parts bolted to the boudoir wall, right HM? ;)
