My mod is almost finished and I realized that I already miss being modding my pc. I mean, I've bought this pc in december, and it hasn't lost alot of value, so I' m thinking about selling it.
I would sell the case /w internal parts on e-bay when my mod will be finished (soon) and i hope to get at least $2200 USD. It may sound pricy, but Pure Pwnage is getting really popular and maybe with publicity I could sell it to a fan.
If I don't get a good price, maybe i'll wait for this summer when I get more money to begin my project.
Anyways, like I said I can't stop modding, these forums put a curse on me
, I want to learn stuff, and I need to mod to do that. I was thinking about this idea all week long, using all the hardware knowledges I got in the last 3 months.
My idea consist in building a nice looking rig with a lian-li case, do some little modifications on it, water cool all that stuff (never did that before). I'll be using a Green/orange theme: green wires w/ sleeving, Orange coolant for water cooling, orange IDE round and SATA cables, orange UV heatshrink and connectors. Two 12" uv ccfl giving the effect.
[2050$ CAD] Hardware:
Lian-li 65B case w/ window
Custom sleeved Thermaltake 480w PSU (can be changed, just need to find a pre-sleeved, modular if possible, with green sleeving and orange connectors and heatshrink)
ASUS A8N-SLI
2X1 GB OCZ Platinum
Evga E-Geforce 7900 GT superclocked
SB X-FI Xtreme Music
DVD-RW BenQ Lightscribe/LG/Liteon (need to decide what)
WD Caviar SE 250 GB 16mo
Athlon 64 X2 3800+
[650$ CAD] Water Cooling (need to learn, first timer with this) :
Danger Den TDX copper Water Block (CPU)
Danger Den A8N Maze 4 Chipset Water Block
Swiftech MCW60 VGA Water Block (will fit on 7900's ???)
Clear PVC tubing
UV Red/Orange Dye for the coolant
w/e coolant
Asetek WaterChill Hard Drive cooler 3 1/2" bay (do i really need this?)
Thermaltake Aquabay M2 Drive Bay Radiator (any good?)
Danger Den 2X 80mm Radiator (If I can mod the behind of the lian-li)
Thermaltake Aquabay M1 Dual 5.25" Reservoir/Flow Meter
Thermaltake T-type water temperature indicator
Swiftech MCP655 12v water pump
[200$ CAD] Other modding Stuff:
UV orange case fans (I'll see how many)
Green UV sleeving kit (for all other wires)
Dual UV 12" ccfl kit
Fan controller (need to choose)
Rocker switch for cathodes on a 3.5" cover
Molex/fans Extensions if needed for cable mangement
UV paint?
etc...
I hope I'll sell my pc when I put it over e-bay in a couple of weeks and get the money to begin that project. Like I said, this thing may be reported to the beginning of june or later if I don't have enough money.
This said, I still appreciate and need comments, suggestions on parts or advises on water cooling.
Thanks.
