    Hey,

    Here is my new project log. The plan so far is to make this case into a extreme water cooling case. I plan to cool the CPU, GPU and the motherboard chip. I just bought two radiators and two fill lines. As you can see that this case will be completely different then the other case.

    Hardware Specs.
    Althon 64 FX 53 (Water-cooled) & (Overclocked)
    2 gb ddr
    ATI x800 PE (Water-cooled) & (Overclocked)
    120 gb hard drive

    [​IMG]
    The radiators will be under the filters. The water tube will stick out of the side.

    Hard Drive stand will stay the same and the inside will stay the same.

    New back fans. Still working on the case for it, but its almost done.

    Looks Good!

    Looking good so far, has the potential to be a wicked project.

    This should be an interesting project, although I´m getting a bit tired of all these clear-cases.. but that´s just me I guess :D

    I don't like all-clear cases when they're just plexi boxes and show no originality, but this should be interesting :)

    Sweet work on the fan housing on the back and the rad housing on top. Keep it up!

    Hey,
    I have been working on the top a lot and the back. I am still waiting for the radiators and fill lines. So I cant install the top yet. Anyway here are some pictures.

    Is that a light reflector? Or did you make it yourself?

    You talkin about the tubes? I made it myself. The tubes arnt going to be part of the water cooling system. They are just cut tubes with colored water in it. I sealed both ends. I think it will look good when the lights are turned off and the neon light behind them is on.

    Hey,

    I just got a new case that I had a old pc in. I decided to change cases, but keep the same mod. I have been working really hard the past 2 days to catch up in my modding progress. Here are some pictures.

    [​IMG]
    Here is the original case. I really cut the thing up.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    I took two reservoirs and glued them together. I will have two lines for water cooling.
    [​IMG]
    Here are the radiators I will be using.
    [​IMG]
    Case painted and radiators installed.
    [​IMG]
    Fans glued to the filter
    [​IMG]
    Case modding on top and front.
    [​IMG]
    I have the two blue fans under the filters. I hope the filters will glue blue at night. I also have a blue cathode behind the reservoirs in the front to make the water glow blue.

    Front shot

    Dont worry about the glue showing at the front, it will be covered in time. Tomorrow I hope to finish the sides of the case and maybe have the cd-rom installed. Also the Power Supply wont be installed in the usual place. I will be installed on the cd rack. The radiator got in the way of the usual power supply place.

    No comments??

    O well, here is another update.

    Hey,
    I worked on the sides of the case today. I am almost done with the window. I dont know if I will be able to keep the fan because it might interfer with teh water cooling tubes for the video card. I plan to water cool a ATI x800 PE. I worked on the front a little, it still needs to be finished. The top of the front got done. The little tube sticking out is the re-fill line for the reservoirs.

    looking pretty good there

    i dunno if u were allready going to do this, but maybe you could "clean" up all the edges, making it more flush with the case?? if you understand that:p

    other than that, its looking like its got lotsa potential :thumb:

    Some nice ideas there although I think personally I'd try and tidy the edges a little. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the metal you're looks a little thin - again, just MHO :)

    I have been real busy play counter-strike: source, but I got some work done today. Today I installed the CD-Rom and worked on cleaning up the case. I also took some pictures to show where everything will go.
    I still have some cleaning to do on the top of the case. So dont tell me about it.

    Thats it for now. Tomorrow I will work on the window and work on cleaning up the case. I am trying to get the case done by the 23rd because that is when I start my first day of college.
