hey everyone,

just finished my core i7 rig, and wanted to share it with you.
maybe some of you might find a few ideas for themselves (that's what I've done for a few months to get to this point).

so here I go...

let's start with the many parts I used:




and then, after many many hours of hard work (I actually started with a CoolerMaster CM 690, which was to small to get enough air on the radiators...), this is what I got:





A little bit of explanations...

When you see the first picture of a stock Comos S, sometimes you would think it's black.... No no no! it ain't! it's faded grey, and did'nt look so nice to me. So the whole case (inside too) has been painted in shiny black (by a car painter) so not only it looks great, it is also pretty strong paint!


I designed a sticker with the BloodRage logo and had it printed by a friend, then got 4 white LEDs behind... well, you'll see for yourself!
(wanna get the JPEG of the sticker to get one... or want it printed... ask me!)


Behind the 3rd "grill" from the bottom, I have a DVD burner. The "grill" has been fixed to the sliding part... works well and looks awesome!


I also modded my Zalman ZM-MFC1 to be hidden behind the top "grill"... and now the front looks united. (if that means anyhting in English )


Inside the beast. I managed to get only two colored parts for almost everything... and painted what wasn't. So it's all black and red! The hard part was to get a silent but yet efficient watercooling solution. The first pump I had in the CM690 (Eheim) was very loud (don't know why, the ones I used before never were! )So I decided to get a Laing DDC with its plexi top and tank... and don't regret it!


Now I cool my core i7 920 (D0) to 38°C idle (less then 50°C on load) @ 4GHz 24/7... which is cool I'd say and can hardly hear it!


Oh... wanna see inside maybe ??
Here you go:




















and now with the lights on...

















I hope you liked it...
