Lian-LI water cooling?

[DodgeViper]

This is crappy's rig. It's a Lian Li case.

Heater cores work well, but they are sometimes hard to mount and look clean I think. If you're gonna blow a few hundred on a case and cooling system, I say go for a PC radiator that already has drilled mounts. It'll look good and cool nearly or as well as a heater core.

That setup looks pretty good, viper, but it looks a little cramped. And where did the hard drives go?

 

[meatpipe]

That's the PC 60- a middie tower. I already own the heater core, and it looks like it'll fit with no problems in the taller PC 70.

The PC 70 has a lot of space.

You can mount the rad on the bottom & move the HDD Rack to were the drive bays are or use a Mobile Rack to mount them;

Good idea Sonny- I use the trays alot with IDE stuff- I might just get a couple for my SCSI raid setup.

Edit Now I got it right

That's not a RAID card, sonny. But it's still nice.

Here's a RAID card:

No product pics-but here's the specs ripped from Hewlett Packard:
It's made by AMI with a HP bios and 128 meg cache sdram module on the card. It's the same size as my GeForce3, and retails for about $1200. I found it laying around..... It overclocks great as it's designed to run @ 66 mhz. Anyway-my parts are here (BIG overnight shipping bill!) gotta fire up the dremel...

NNNNiiiiiiccccceeeeee. Stick that in an AMD 760MPX board and you be rippin'!!

 

[meatpipe]

Yep---ready for that also. I wanted the Tyan-but it's 64 bit PCI slots are only 32 bit in reality..bummer .

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

I don't think they're 32 bit slots. Look at the motherboard. They are definitely 64 bit slots

 

[meatpipe]

Sorry 'bout that comment Voodoo, they are 64 bit but 33mhz on the Thunder K7, BUT the new MPX is true 66mhz, 64 bit !!
The web site says "now available" !!

Damn-I'm gonna overheat this credit card!!!

 

[customrig]

i have one but i have not yet tried water cooling will let you know when i do

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

Yes, I know. I thought that you were mistaken. 64/66 slots are nice. Except you need about 6 15K SCSI drives in RAID 0 or 5 to saturate the bus though. That's a lot of throughput.
