By trade I’m an auto tech but I love computers and building them so project gear box is my way of trying to put the 2 together by building a computer and incorporating a lot of automotive stuff in the process. Im building it just for gaming. Today I started building the case from ¼ inch plexiglass, I chose this due to the fact it reminded me of the Polycarbonate which race cars use for windows.

The case will hold 4 hard drives (as the plan stands right now 3 32 gb raptors in raid0 for windows and one 500 gb hd) have one dvd drive and will be water cooled, for the radiator im going to use an oil cooler from a turbo Volvo and for a water pump I’m going to use either 2 fuel pumps from 4 cylinder imports or one 255 lph performance pump I have laying around.

To cool the radiator I’m going to be using a bilge fan (I know its from a boat) rated at 175 cfm at 12 volts and I might employ a voltage step up transformer (silver box in same pic) which turns 12 to 24 volts on the bilge fan for a extreme turbo cooling boost. More to come when I get more supplies
