I went the upright route because...well....idk why. I guess I don't really have a place to put a desktop type case. It may kinda turn into a Lanbox also because my P180 is a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to move. My TV is only 1024x768 so I can play Crysis on High with no AA, NFS: Undercover maxed with 4xAA, and Assassin's Creed maxed.I tried COD5 but it has no support for controllers and I've been using my Logitech Chillstream. I'm gonna get Worms World Party installed and I have a NES Emulator that I need to get up and running.

That works out well then. I've played some playstation 1, SNES and NES on mine, worth it to have a media center pc (or HTPC, whatever). I don't have cable so I watch streaming shows on it too.

I have a P180 as well, and yeah, it's a pain (scratches really easily too..)

My First Res

I used a junction box to submerge a danner pump... I created the fill port from a soda bottle

Here's mine. It is silent aside from the damn board squealing. Pretty much everything I can cool with water is cooled with water. SB, CPU, NB, PWM and GPU. I got tired of having fans and a pump buzzing away.

Notice the Ethernet drop I put in and how my SPDIF connects to the same plate with BNC and travels through the floor to the receiver on the other side of the room . :up:

And let's not forget how the HDD's hang from bicycle tire tubes.

:rofl: nice one :up:

I hacked apart an old Antec PSU, cut the 24 pin connector into an 8 pin connector, and taped the wires up with scotch tape to ghetto rig my computer into working while I was waiting for an 8 pin extender. I'll get pics up when I get home in the next couple days.

Closest things I've got ATM are pics of my old suicide run setup:

Heh, it doesn't fit in any case, that's why i'm not using it right now. It extends about an inch below the bottom end of an ATX board. If I bend it in, It doesn't clear the PCI slots, just barely.

Kudos to whoever can guess what card it is, should be fairly easy with the dual molex connectors.

Kain665: Why not just use a bolt? Its allot of weight and I wouldn't trust zipties.

Meh, I never got around to using it. I was going to use two Arctic Cooling silencer backplates (Like the one on top) and 4 screwed but I never got around to it. Zip ties held it on fairly well though.
