Okay, CoolerMaster said that the CM Stacker 810 will be available on 8/26, so I'm going to need some help designing this bad boy of a system I'm putting together. So, as I just said, I will be using the Stacker 810 case with window kit. Now here are the specs on what is going into the machine:
Pentium 650 (3.4GHz EM64T)
MSI P4N Diamond
2G Corsair XMS2 DDR2 675 (5400)
4x Maxtor 7200RPM 16M Buffer 300G SATA drives
1 or 2 Plextor 716A (I think that's the model) DL DVD-RW
2x BFG 6800GT's in SLI
So my dearest friends, I am asking for your help designing where I'm putting everything in this monster. Now the Stacker 810 has room in the front for 2x 120mm fans. So what I was thinking was putting a dual rad in there (like a Danger Den heater core) that will pull cool air in from the outside of the front of the case, through the radiator. Now I believe the PSU needs to go on the bottom of that case. Am I going to have room for a pump and the rad on the floor of that case? Also, that case has room for 2x 120mm fans for exhaust in the rear, so I'll throw 2 120mm's back there. The two main things I would like some help with:
1)Brands and what blocks I'm going to need. I'm thinking of going Danger Den for all the watercooling needs, but I really don't know what I need to buy. I know I want to go with the dual 120 heatercore. I know I need to get a CPU block but I'm not sure what to get. I heard the NB gets hot too, do they make a block for that? I'd like to have GPU blocks too (like that NV-68SLI Danger Den block). Anyone know if it fits right on that mobo?
2)How to arrange the WC parts in the case. Like I said, will I have room for both the PSU, the pump and the radiator? What order do I put the pump, the rad, the t-line, the blocks? Even the fans. Like I said earlier, I'm thinking 2x120mm intake fans in the front to pull cool air in through the radiator. Do I have the coolant going from the pump to the blocks and then to the radiator?
So basically I need to compile a parts list for fans/wc equipment, and then ideas on how to put it all together. Everyone says the Stacker 810 will do the job as far as fit everything I want to put it, now I just need to know exactly what it is that will be going in, and how
Sorry for the noob questions, but this is my first time putting something like this together, and I want to get it right Any help would be appreciated.
I promise lots of pictures once I get everything together
