I posted this in GD, I think, a week or so ago. I'm bringing it here as it "fits" more.
I am going to be doing a little old school. I'm not going to be doing so much case modding as this will be just a general "project log". I may toss in some case mods for the hell of it, provided I can find my dremmel disks.
The grits:
AMD 1700 DUT3C JIUHB
I know, I know. It's not the legendary DLT3C, however it's still pretty decent. It runs at 1.6v at stock speeds. I wonder what'll happen when she's fed 2.1 volts?
In time, I may swap her out for a mobile 2600 fqq4c iqyha or 1700/1800 DLT3C if I can find either for a good price and I kill/get bored with my processor.
Abit nf7-s v2.0 pcb .52
I am going to have some fun with this sucker. Immediately after I test to verify it works I'll get to work. This was bought off of TehGoober.
The northbridge fan is getting replaced with an a64 stock cooler sans the fan. The southbridge probably will also.

I'll be doing the vdd resistor mod as well as the vdimm=vi/o mod and vdd booster. There are known problems with this 3.3v mod but luckily with this pcb revision, I don't have to worry about it. There are also problems with the vtt tracking but the vio mod negates any problems with that
Also, as I mentioned, vcore will have the option of going up to 2.1v.

2x256 Mushkin BH-6
I bought these from Speed Bump. I am told these chips run about 240mhz 2-2-2-5 on an intel platform with 3.2v. Just imagine what will happen when they get (silenced) volts.

I had this laying around since my first computer. I don't know where I put it but I think it's in my garage. I had it for sale for a while for cheap but since I "destoryed" it, nobody has seemed to want it. I cut all of the power lines out, except for the 20/4 pin connectors, and one 4pin molex and sata. I just cut the wires out before and now I'm going to go ahead and unsodder them to make the supply "safer". I'm also going to add an extra two single molex lines, one for the hard drive, one for the cd-rom drive...
Did I mention that I'm going to be modding the powersupply to run 3.6-3.7v on the 3.3v line? Oh.
ATI 9800pro with Ati silencer
I picked this up off of Elif Tymes. Nothing is going to happen to it right away as I want to see what I can get out of my processor first. Eventually, in some time, a couple of weeks, it'll be getting vgpu and vddr mods to make it happy.
Case
I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to use for a case. I may get a chieftech dragon clone of of a friend. I surly hope so. If I can't I'm either going to make my own out of an old case and/or wood or just use no case. Maybe I'll pick up the lian li knockoff that's 25 bucks.
The goods:
I will be watercooling the processor to see if I can max her out. If I get the Dragon clone, I'll be picking up a 2-342 and slamming that beast in the front of the case. with a custom made shroud (probably card board until I feel like fiberglassing one if ever). If I cant, I have a 86 chevette core sitting on my floor.
I'll be using a l35 for a pump. The inlet has been modded for 1" ID inlet and will be fed off of a 3/4" ID line that will run straight to the top of the case. (see pic below)
For a block I'll be using a RBX. Right now I only have the standard accelerator plate. If anyone knows where I can get them, besides paying a lot to DD for the whole set, that'd be cool. I only need plate 4 OR 5.
There's nothing special about the block. If I get a chance to get a maze3 and an AC unit I'll be doing some hardcore waterchilling but that probably won't happen. I have a volenti-type "silent bong" cooler sitting in my basement but I don't know whether I will use that.
If I use an internal Rad, the layout will definately resemble this (interchange rad for smaller case)

Assembly
I'll be doing construction step by step and reporting here. I'll probably also write something up for the front page about wire management since I'm a freak about that and I'll have a spare computer/case.
The parts are due in any day so I'll keep everyone posted.
