Antec Lanboy Project *Lots of pics*

[Sabien]

Hey guys been lurking around here for ages and finally have something post worthy with my finished Lanboy setup.

Summer is coming here in Australia so I wanted to put something together.

My aims were;

Near silence
Effective cooling
Remain asthetically pleasing

Components used

Swiftech MCP655-B pump
Hardware Labs Black Ice GTX120
Swiftech MCRES-MICRO
Swiftech Apogee GTX w AM2 mounting set
Radiical Extreme Dual 120 mm Fan Radiator - Dual Pass
Dangerden DD-GX2 Block for NVIDIA 7950-GX2
Clearflex 60 tubing

The loop goes:

res>pump>1x120 rad>gpu>2x120 rad>cpu>res and it is kinda compact. Less than 1.5m tubing used in the whole rig.

Enjoy the pics

Fairly unassuming looking from the front.

Rear view. Access to the video card and motherboard connections not hindered by the radiator at all. Papst fans are fantastic and silent.

Tried not to forget some cable management to add to the appeal and cooling of the setup.

[SiGfever]

[Sabien]

Thanks gents :up:

[warbux]

Very nice setup man. The chrome fan and the nice polished look of the case makes it really stand out.

[disruptfam]

Looking real nice good work on the cable management....Good to another brisbanite on here!!!

Temp's seem pretty good as the ambients in Bris @ getting to 28- 30c mark....

Well done

[shazza]

Very nice! Love the color in your loop, and some of the best cable management I've seen.

Lots of Aussies into water cooling ... must be all that surfer DNA!

[carholmes]

Very nicely done, I love the cable management.:up:

[Colossous]

I used to have a lanboy and i loved it - great job on the case there - looks great ! :up:

[Polizei]

Impressive for such a small case. :up:

[Sabien]

Thanks guys

@ disruptfam - ya man its going to be a long hot summer :D

@ shazza - its the kangaroos in the street that make us want to watercool :p:

[TopherTony]

I am really impressed. When I first saw the front of the case, I was thinking 'Ho hum, another boring case' but the insides are astounding. Really amazing work. :up:

[disruptfam]

Sabien what did ya use to get that purple???

[shazza]

@ shazza - its the kangaroos in the street that make us want to watercool

yeahhh... just got back from living in Australia for 3 years. Never did see one of those darn kangaroos on the street (but saw quite a few on the golf course!).

[Sabien]

Sabien what did ya use to get that purple???

Made up a mixture of Zalman ZM-G100 (http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=159&code=021) for the blue and Nulon Red Coolant (http://www.nulon.com.au/products.php?productId=rlltu#) with some water and came out a nice purple colour.

Have you tested temps between a single 2x120 and the 2x120 + 1x120? I am interested in adding another single rad to my loop and was wondering if you saw good gains or not.

[Jedda]

Oi Oi Oi

Neat work mate.

:shrug:

Unfortunately I had always planned to used both radiators.

[Clockwork_Apple]

Very nice work! :clap:

[AAjax]

Very nice :)

[IanY]

Where did you get that black acrylic plexiglass for your MCRES reservoir? :) I would pay a lot for that piece! I like your classic Papst fans off the back radiator.

[higgins]

Nice job man, really clean build.

[Sabien]

Bunnings (Australia's modders paradise)

It was like $40 for a square meter sheet.

[Digital Nirvana]

looking great!

[Sabre2]

I love the lanboy cases. Very good job... but how does the alluminum hold that rad in the back? Is it warping a bit from the weight? Just wondering. You left out the straps man!!! Can't have a lanboy without holding straps.

[p8ntslinger676]

Great work :D i used to have a cpu loop in a super lanboy but i moved over to a nice fulltower case cus i couldnt stand how crampped it was with everything in there.

[RubberDuck]

Very Clean & very Beautiful :clap: :up:

[NickS]

Very nice dude. I loved my Super Lanboy, I can't imagine watercooling it though. You did a wonderful job :)

[Dark Prodigy]

Not a fan of exterior watercooling, however, your case is clean, neat, and a well thought out design. I can surely dig that.

The Evercool aluminum fans are very attractive...just a tad loud for me though. Are you controlling them?

[Sabien]

Yeah man, I'm running them both off 5v and they are hardly audible.

[septim]

very nice and clean install on everything...

Oh I missed your question Sabre

The radiator at the back is fine, no sign of warping at all. Have to remember that there is a fan on the inside of the case about an inch thick that helps hold the intergrity of the back panel.

The side panels all slotted straight in so it was all square.

I still have the lan strap that came with the case and still use it to move the case.

nice work with the rca cable mod

[FallenCow]

Very clean... you are cable management ninja!
