i got my hands on a double wide full tower server case for 10 bucks (that with dual socket p3 mobo, 2 17Gb 10k rpm scsi super 160 drives, and all needed internals) anyways i stripped all that stuff out and am customizing it for a water cooling system for my comp. and also with the help of my graphic artis friend giving the case a huge facelift.
on one side i will have all the rads and pumps and reservoirs. on the other i will have my mobo and all the electronics. that way the electronics are able to sit in a nice cool air stream and all the heat from the rads is kept away from it all.
i am also building a custom dual chamber reservoir. out of two lengths of 2" acrylic tubing and for the ends i have laminated together 4 5"x3" 3/4" pieces of acrylic to make 2 5"x3" 1.5" thick pieces and am drilling fill port holes drain holes and intake and discharge holes for loops that way i have two totaly independent loops.
this is better for me cause it is more expandable, easier to work with later on, and means that i can go with pelt cooling on the cpu at a lator date without worrying in any way about my GPU's.
i will post some pics once my camera is charged and will post regular updates. ......this is gonna be a huge project and the case will hardly be recognizable from what i started with. so naturally i cant w8 to get started on the actual case mods but for now i should be busy enough with work and building this reservoir.
