First W/C Rig *pics*

[IceWilly]

Okay guys here is my first go at a watercooling rig. I wasn't going for top of the line cooling, just for a quiet compact pc with good temps.

Specs:
Lain Li pc-60 Aluminum Case
DD Maze 4 Cpu block
Hydor L-20 Pump
Black Ice Xtreme Radiator
T-line Setup with 1/2" ID tubing.

Temps are like 94 F (34 C) Idle
96 F (36 C) Load

Lemme know what you think.

if they don't load here are the addresses.

To get the pics to work u have to open a new IE and copy/paste the link in.

Nice looking setup dude.

Looks very nice...way to cram that all in there (and cleanly too)! I like the cathode setup - the two colors go nicely.

Going to be doing any overclocking?

looks sweet, did you have to do any modifying to the case?

 

[repilce]

nice but to you have it going pump-rad-block-pump or pump-block-rad-pump?

ok...

Maybe some, unfortunately my Soyo Mobo isn't the best for that. I am gonna try it, we will see how it goes.

A little, I cut the holes for the cathode switch, and pump relay. I took out the harddrive rack on the bottom, drilled out the rivets, and pounded down the speaker brackets on the floor. I also cut a little off of the Floppy cage to allow for the rad to fit. I also made a hole in the Cd rom bay for the tubing to leave. This made it so that the tubing didn't have to make a sharp turn and kink itself.

nice but to you have it going pump-rad-block-pump or pump-block-rad-pump?

Its going Pump-Rad-Block-Pump right now. I don't know how much of a difference it makes but this seemed like a good setup, really the only good way the tubing would go too.

thanks guys

I used hosting from my school, but another easy way would be to sign up for a free account with www.1and1.com and use a program like SSH Secure Shell to put stuff on your webspace.

Nice and Clean setup is that a mini-CoolShroud on the BIX?

 

[IceWilly]

that is a custom shroud a guy on OC forums made for me acctually. I think you can buy them at Cooltechnica.com now...
I think they fit the Bix and the Pros.

Link for CD drive face plates

You can get Lian Li face plates for your drives for $1! It looks like he has the universal drive bezel, which I don't like as much because it covers everything but the eject button. I wish there were a face plate for Lite-On drives.
