Intel Atom N330 + Nvidia Ion ITX Water Cooling!
NEW THREAD!
Hello Everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted anything though, I am back now with a new idea and was wondering if anyone here would be willing to give me a little bit of feed back on what they think. I've been running the following ITX setup for a while now with much issues:
Zotac Ion ITX A
Intel Atom N330 1.60GHz @ 2.0GHz
Ion Chipset (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)
(more info: Link)
Crucial Ballistix
4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz (2 x 2048MB) (Link)
Seagate Momentus
2.5" 7200rpm 16mb cache 250GB HD
All this currently resides in an ITX case that is approximately the 3" wide x 7" high x 9" deep, the slim drive bay was removed and I moded the side panel a bit to add a 100mm x 100mm x 10mm fan @ 800 RPM. It's held up rather well for moderate to light gaming and 1080p playback but I am thinking of pushing it a bit farther. The Zotac Board has a 90Watt PSU and I have a spare 60Watt PSU which came with the case that I decided not to use at first but now I can put it to good use!
Here are pictures of the current setup:

I will be placing the pump & res between the hard drive bay which whould have normally fit a 3.5" Drive. The 3.5" Drive Bay will be modified to fit two 2.5" Laptop Hard Drives. A dual 120mm Rad will be fit on top of the case with dual slim 10-12mm Fan's Blowing inwards if space allow's it I will do Push/Pull.
I am trying to keep the case as postable/silent as possible and not to bulk.
NL-Zotack ION ITX A CPU/GPU Water Block (Link)
Currently the only Zotac Ion waterblock available that I know of.
Swiftech MCP355™ 12 VDC Pump(Link)
I would have used a small pump if I was using a single 120MM Rad solution.
Black Ice Pro II Compact Radiator (Link)
133mm x 277mm x 25mm
Bitspower BP-DDCT2-CL DDC Mini Water Tank (Link)
Seagate Momentus
2.5" 7200rpm 16mb cache 250GB HD (Total of two in system)
Decently expensive though sometimes it's fun to change things around a bit. Secondly I haven't seen anything like this done yet out there so it should be an interesting thing to do. After it's all done I am more then willing to run any test that forum members would like me to do.
