Those fans are either strategically positioned or you have just lobbed them in there.

GFX, Ram and maybe pwmic

One storage PC in chenbro RM414 chassis.
Spec is
Pentium D940
some 2gb ram
4 300gb HDDs plus one 80gb OS hdd.

The right one is my current main rig in Lian-li PC-626 case.
Its spec is in my signature.

My trusty firewall appliance.

And my backup internet connection. I plan to completely change its routers later on. But for now, those will work.

I only have a top pic of my case :)

islash that is a nice looking rig , great job . i was wondering if that case can hold dual psu , i ask cause i see yours is kinda sideways . thanks

heydo6
The PSU simply stands vertical. It isn't possible to but 2 PSUs... maybe only if you remake the case.=)

a dual rad does not warm that easily...
not even with a D955 on it
(provided you have a decent flow and an adequate pump for your setup)

so the air coming through it will not affect the system temp as much as you think

also, as you probably already know,
the air from the lower level (floor level) is always cooler and by warming it up
you force it to move upwards towards the exhaust fans...

i ve used this particular configuration in more than 15 cases the past few months
(most of them Stacker 830's without the side fan panel)
and the results were excellent despite the Greek summer temps :p:
the only thing you should do, is add two fan filters to the bottom fans because floor-level air intake tends to collect all the underlying dust
and reduces the rad's effectiveness really quick

---

There is a downside.. Dust, hair and other particles normally build up on the floor. They will be sucked up and will eventually clog the Rad. Which means a weekly/montlhy cleaning will be needed.

Anyways.. when I built up my case I opted for something different. What caught my eye was a VERY old Compaq Proliant 1500 server case. It housed a Pentium 100MHz with 128MB of ECC EDO memory and a total of 20GB of HD space in 5 seperate drives.. so yes.. quite old. It was also beige and disgusting looking.

So I opted to try and turn it into a newish rig. Wasn't easy.. damn case was some oddity.. wasn't following any known specifications (not ATX, AT, baby ATX etc).

Wow... massive thing. Big work ;)

I think the first 15 or so pages where every single image is broken needs to be deleted or a new case gallery started. ;)

my comp will be up on this in about 30 days.

My baby @ Sask Place quite some time ago, figured I might as well post them, nothing has changed on it since then, it's the comp in my sig. custom phase change and a modified CM stacker.

it's nothing special, but much cuting behind front and from right side :)
all air cooled and not planing to switch on water (maybe air+pelt later).

Its from page 29 but there was a disscustion about the orange vs yellow slots on the DFI Ultra-D.

Yellow slots "can" be fore BH-5 looks like the focus on which slots to use are totally dependant on your bios, there are many diffrent revisions for each bios and each one has a diffrent focus on ram.

I have the stock bios on my mobo and use the yellow slots and it works perfect with my setup, had my OCZ Platinum 1:1 DDR600 stable with tight timings on my opteron 146, and I currently run my Mushkin DDR500 at DDR515 totally stable both were in the yellow slots.

I never updated to a newer bios as the saying goes "if it aint broke dont fix it"

I have more pictures on my home PC of my rig, but now that I am at work I can only share some of the ones I had uploaded in the past.

Bear with the bad photo quality, my camera died on me.

Some of the Mods:

installing a 120mm fan in the front, yes that was cut with a dremel /bow
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...MC/thehole.jpg

fans in
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...C/frontfan.jpg

moded that mesh front into this cool dragon
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...C/frontbez.jpg

final product: this cool turbine looking fan behind a dragon, at a later time I may actualy get a turbine fan off xoxide.com with the led's in it wich will bring it out even more.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...nanddragon.jpg

More may be uploaded later inluding the 120mm fan on the top of the case that I moded in. I didnt take any pictures of when I had to mod the case for my psu as I was in a hurry to get it up and running and it was the last thing on my mind.

You can kinda see the many phases the computer went thru when I swiched out the psu and things, I dont even have a photo of the final product when I had got all the wires put away, you dont see any wires now except the fan I have near the pwm ic's and the black lights. All the psu wires are behind the hdd cage and hidden away looks nice and neat.

Just recently added the x-fi in there and its offically a FULL case the pump barly fits at an angle between the sound card and the hdd cage, while the video card is just above it. I love the case to death with its price and options but next time I may get somthing bigger.

I am very happy to say the case is finally done. The only thing left to do is prop it up off the ground, maybe put it on wheels, not sure yet.

but here it is !!

My start up switch.

I havent gotten a chance to mount my start up switch yet but, itll be done soon enough.

Also need to do more cable management.. but thats for another day.

what do you guys think?

P.S. This thing is HEAVY!!!

^^ that case must weigh 100 lbs, but it looks awesome.

I agree with you, a lot more cable management needs to be done but it looks like you have put a TON of work into it.

bravo dude

cable managment will do great

Yea nice rig man!

Brought my rad from outside of my case into it, and heres how it looks now.

Looks really nice. Loved the color scheme.

Question: Does that fan cover/filter thingy restrict air flow? If not, where can I get those?

thanks
