She's no Pc guru but asked if she gave me $100 bucks if i could Trow togeter some spare parts and Build her a Nice Pc so she can play Games and practice typing and maybe watch a Movie or two

I couldnt resist ,,

1xGTX260/216,,

1xSpare Stealth GTS 320tripple.


This is what i had to Buy.

$100bucks got me ,,
2gigs Ballistics 8500,, Fittings ,,Fillport,,Fessor Dye,, radBox,, tubing,,Fans,,misculaniouse nuts and bolts,,. Dinner @ In N Out Burger.
this was a good night to shop Parts.


The Build consist of a few Mild Mods and Basic Tripple Rad Single CPU loop, @ least i think its basic.

I started by grabbing the Lincoln(Welder) and Modded a MCW60 bracket . Now it can work on any VGA 8800/9800 ATI 3800/4800 and CPU/AMD/Intel LOL. It was just lying around and instead of Buying another Nice W/B , thought i would recycle it.

Since the Case only had room for 92nm fan out the Back and one in front .I also modded a TwinFan set up for the rear .

100nm Sythe silver bearing with a 92nm ACpwmfan . I then used a single Sythe 92nm up front. Simple and yes it pulls flow through the case.

I asked What color She liked and Red is the winner.
Except she Said "No Bling light crap is allowed in my PC".

Everything is a tight fit and im still working on my Wire skills ..


UPDATED MOD pics ,, Budget PC is ready for Action.......


The gOtVolTage Labratory


First off,,

I needed a CPU/waterblock not a VGA block so i thought.

Second off,,

I needed a 92nm or what ever i can fit for a rear Fan to keep Air moving in Case..from the front 92nm.




FIRST MOD MCW60 to CPU.
The Mod for making a Bracket MCW60vgz cooler to AMD 940cooler wasnt too bad to do and took about 2hours including Paint. Yes i used a welder and grinder and drill to fab this part.

I just dint want to spend $10bucks for a bracket or wait for Shipping.Plus Modding stuff is what i like to any way when im not Building ,,Bikes ,,Hot Rods and what ever else Excetra.

To start this Mod I drilled several holes in (2 Brackes) fully welding them together UNDER the Base to make a single bracket. Once the Bottom was welded i then Drilled several Holes and Spot welded those in.

I then had to recut the Center section open and fit to Block. After Lots of Prep she got a nice coat of FlatBlack and Backed in Oven @ 325 for say 15minutes. Thus it cures the paint like Powder coating.












Ok Now the Second MOD ,,

100nm Sythe + a 92nmA/C PWM Fan.
Easy to do MOD just Stack two Fans and make Shure You use a A/C PWM so you can use its Conector harnes . These Fans COUNTER ROTATE and Pull Twice the FLow inside the Case Vs using a single 92nm fan. Plusthe A/C fan doubles as a MOBO PWM cooler and spins Air Around in the Rear to Help Cool All my Phet heatsinks..
