Crazy, I have a friend getting that case and putting water cooling in it also, he's going to mount the heatercore at the bottom though, that looks like a 2-302 core you got there, is it?

Home made res looks nice too, is that 3/8" or 1/2" tubing?

supplying enough power there? you would do fine with just one of the PSUs, both of them are quite stable at high output.

rad is from a bonneville? im using 1/2 inch tubing on that... got it from NAPA.

yeah i know its power overkill :woot: , but the 530 was a 20 pin PSU and it was just sitting there from my previous system, and the OCZ isnt dual 12V rail, so its kinda doing the same thing as having a dual 12v, sorta

Looking good man
I plan to use stacker as well but now I really don't know if it could fit 3 hdds, 1 dvdr, a floppy drive and a 2x120mm hc in there...

nah that wont fit :( your gonna have to lose the floppy or get a USB one . i got 2 dvd drives 2 HDD drives as you can see its full

nice setup man.. get a gpu block on the video card. ur rad is more than capable of doing it.

nice pics man!

gonna try this someday too ;)

only im thinking of putting my rad in the bottom, since i want space for 8 HDs (got 2 4in3 drive cages), my dvdrom, dvdwriter and my floppy drive

what in the world do u want 8 hdds for.. thats nuts. up to 4terabytes of space.

I doubt it when his sig quotes one of them as being "Maxtor 5400rpm 40GB HD" lol, 8hdds, probably could be put onto 3. One of those jobs we know we probably should do but can never really be bothered to.

lol.. i would never setup 8 small drives.. lol.. just too much risk of failer, extra heat, extra power draw, cable mess... ack that would not be fun.. couple of 500gigier hitatchi drives would be WAY better and faster..

but this is all assuming they are a bunch of tiny drives

Well, according to his sig, his "old rig" has 2x120GB drives in Raid 0 as well as 2x15GB drives in Raid 1, I'm guessing if he got 8 drives he would have a mix of small ones in Raid 1 for the OS and vital stuff, and he would have a bunch of big drives in Raid 0 for games and storage.

if that is the case i pray for him that his drives dont fail.. with all that complexity its just asking to fial.. lol.
