goof for the new water cooled case for friend

unreal · Nov 30, 2003

since he wanted something silver and small i went with the super lan boy, i was going to cut out the 4 internal drive bays for the 120mm in out fan and heatcore, but he didnt want to destroy the case,, so now i am building a mount for the computer with the heatcore and ehiem 1250 pump underneath,,,

ill send pics when i can,,, man i hate building for friends for nothing..

a bix? im using a maze4 block for the ati card, a nevo3 type block for the cpu, a heatcore with 2 120mm fans and a ehiem 1250 pump with tygon tubing.

BIX is black ice extreme. Its a "good" radiator but nice and small. They are like 5.5" square, compared to like the 5.5 * 7+ that most heatercores are.

lol, nice
is that wooden box just sitting there or is it bolted to ur case?

Nickme90 · Dec 1, 2003

Well funny you shoud ask, that picture was taken just after I had put it together and yes it was just sitting on top. It stayed like that for about 6 months till today, when I have finally bolted it on, since I'm going round a mates house to play some games soon.

Only had a few scares, where I had spun on my chair and nearly knocked it off.

That rad is a two 120mm fan one, which is why it had to go outside the case.

Um yeah it proberly could be shortened. I think at 1 point I might have wanted to either have routed the pipes round the side, or include a GPU block somewhere. Can't really remember. Still I don't see it making a huge difference.

As for the bolting. I just used the holes that the feet for the case used to snap in. Well actually only for the front, since 1 of the back ones was over the rad and the other has been cut away for the tubes. So I just drilled another one in the case in the middle of the 2. I took the dangerous route and kept all the stuff in the case and just held a tissue up against where I was drilling.
