Case Mod - In Progress My latest water cooled machine (17/03 - New Monitor)

What fan controller is that Alex?

 

No idea. It's very old - had it for about 4 years. I took it out of a old 2nd hand PC I bought too! It works OK though.

 

looks great

 

This is looking sweeeet man!

I've been debating about this case for a while and wondering if it was going to be big enough, but seeing what you've managed to shoehorn in so-far I'm not gonna have any problems. (and they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!)

 

Thanks guys

 

Nice clean install there buddy

 

Alex, do you think you could measure the distance from the back of your PSU to the front of the case? (without the front panel) I'm curious as to wether a dual rad would fit in the top...

 

I have very little doubt that it would

I'll measure later.

 

Thanks

 

That is a 3.5" Mitron Interlink Noise Isolator VR.

 

It's 32cm to the very front of the case. HTH

 

Brilliant. I know what I'm buying on Saturday.

 

Wow, im surpirsed that you not only fit all that in, but made it look so clean... very nice

 

Well, spent another night fiddling with tiny screws and power cables.

This turned up today, thanks to a mate I got it at a great price.








So, I set about putting it in the case. It has more wires than I've ever seen on a PSU, and it's not modular, so its bloody hard to tuck them all away. The case isn't as tidy now, but it's not too bad. It's a shame the wires aren't a teeny bit longer, I could have put them behind the mobo tray.. I think I'm going to have to use that black perspex stuff to tidy the case up a bit. I'm also tempted to add a small tinted window to the side of the case, just big enough to show the CPU/Northbridge.









Enough Power??!


The important bit


Also, a quick shot of the rear. I've never taken a pic of the back of a case before. Just shows the fan which is now on the outside, as the rad is on the inside.


I bought 4gb of ram today off a guy on here, so that's going in shortly, but thats about it for now.

Did a quick 3dMark06 run earlier, without tweaking anything, and got 13946 marks. Is that good/bad?

Cheers for now.

-al.

 

Very clean wire management! That's a really tight water loop as well, nice job

 

Very neat and tidy, Just like a Lian Li should be

 

That is a good 3Dmark score i think but also it doesn't seem as high as i thought it would be with sli 8800gtx's. ive got a 8400 cpu oc'd to 4ghz and a 8800gt 1gig and im gettin 12895 on 3Dmark (and all air cooling ) but i don't know how hard it is to get higher at these lvls. All in all a very good setup imo and i just wish i had the money to afford 2 88gtx

 

Wow, that is sooo nice.
Those cards are begging to be put under water

 

I orderd a quad core cpu last night.. will update when thats fitted re: 3dmark

 

Nice, let us know what temps you get with that block.
