My radical dual watercooled case is built

dutchcedar · Jun 5, 2003

Jeez, I hope this image posting schtuff works...

Anyway, I'm building a radical liquid cooled case for a dual Opteron workstation and thought y'all might wanna peek.

But it still isn't done. It has to be taken apart and prepped for the anodizer, who's gonna turn all the aluminum black. And of course, the front window, back window and opening side window have to cut, bent and installed. They're gonna be green plexiglass.

The back window will show off the radiator. I still have to fill in the void left by cutting the motherboard tray... gotta leave room for those waterblocks.

And my favorite part...

On the left is a rheostat and variable LED for each fan and two switches with three way LEDs for fan lights. In front are two USB ports, two switches for cathode lights and three activity lights for the dual PSU. Oh, and the intake fan.

I've been working on this for two days less than forever, but it's finally taken shape. :booze: Now for the expensive part... filling the boxen.

p.s. this isn't in the case section because it's all about and only about liquid cooling a dual Opteron workstation.

wow, that thing has awesome potential.

Very Nice Work... did you do that yourself?

Yuriman · Jun 5, 2003

Can you mass produce them so i can buy one? It would save me a lot of space, as i have a LOT of stuff...

Niiiiiice.
That is one of the coolest cases I have ever seen.

Punisher... Dodge Viper built the heater core and shroud. The top plates, front plate, back plate and fan covers were machined on Cincinatti-Milacron machines... the rest is done with small power and hand tools.

Yurlman... It's just a hobby.

This shows the essential cooling parts better... an Ehiem 1250 and Viper's handywork. You can also see how the motherboard track is raised so coolant lines can go underneath.

ok, thats just nothing but a big metal frame. Lets see something in it besides a heatercore, ae?

iNSiGMA, why the negative comment? What to you gain with your mockery of these forums? Dutch do your self a favor and not respond. This person has been running a mock in these forums with very little to say other than to criticize those that are trying to help. Obvious he or she can’t appreciate craftsmanship.

Not to worry, Viper.

Just because a chump types a few words and hits the enter key, it doesn't make his literature worthy of a response.

I don't want to sound negative but....I don't get it? Is the silver frame on the side of the case for holding the computer parts? I'm just curious where the motherboard and cards will go, in the big metal frame or in the computer case part?

It does look very cool though I'm just confused on it's functionality and benefits of the addon.

Twinkle · Jun 7, 2003

well, i can't say for truth, but it looks to me like there are two motherboards in it, because it looks like there are two motherboard trays, of course i could be totally wrong

DodgeViper · Jun 7, 2003

The motherboard and cards will go on the green house side with the power supplies, heater core, and drives in the case side.

Very nice work!!.

Much to large and buly for my taste, though.

Very Very Proffesional, obviously a lot of work went into this.

CZmanz19 · Jun 7, 2003

To yourself and the others, thank you for the fine words.

For a little clarification... the right half is a shortened LianLi PC60 (chopped and channeled 4-1/2"). The overall size is 17" wide x 16-1/2" tall x 19" deep.

The left half (the greenhouse) holds the motherboard. The reasons for this whole thing are many-fold, but my main priorities were to do something entirely different, make the motherboard more visible, flow the cooling air right through the case (ala Dodge Viper), have mondo cooling that doesn't get cluttered and most importantly, have fun.

badass

OSUmaxx · Jun 7, 2003

The workmanship on that case looks spectacular

Please be sure to post pics as it moves along to completion.
