It has been over 6 months since I finished my previous liquid cooling system with slight mods of Chieftec big-tower PC case. Chieftec is Chieftec, a solid and very good case however everyone can get it. When reading forum I have found two unusal ideas of PC cases. First I saw Raid case - ( LC gallery page 299 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...34877&page=299 ). I liked it very much, then I saw similar idea by RockfordFosgate (without watercooling) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=178957 then I had a thought: lets go and combine these two ideas.
So project arised. Not named yet. I intend to use PC setup from my previous rig:
CPU: Athlon 6400+ AM2, GPU 2x MSI 7950GT in SLI, RAM 4 x 1024, HDD: Maxtor 120Gb SATA, on ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe WiFi motherboard.
Watercooling:
Waterblocks - CPU, NB, SB, RAM, and mosfet custom and homemade by Misio15GO, GPU 2x Alphacool NVPX-3, HDD Innovatec waterblock.
On picture you can see them.
I will use two RAM blocks. I had to modify NB block so it fits motherboard.
Pumps : 2 x Laing with Alphacool top, Radiators: 2 x Blackwater 2x120 v2 Ultimate, Res: 2x Blackwater O-Tank 250. All this will be controled by T-Balancer Big NG with mini hub and with water flow meter and water temperature sensors. I would like to build two loops system.
My first idea:
Now I got my case: Nox-media htpc and I've made some drawings.
Project 1
Project2
The only difference between them is 4x20 LCD placement on acrylic plate or behind front panel. LCD is controlled with USB homemade board. Green thingies are 120mm vents with LEDs on radiators.
What do you think of this idea ? Any comments are greately appreciated.
