:wow: DeathStar, I'm speechless on your pics man. That is one nice setup, how hot does it get in their in the summer time? I know you got a nice ac unit in that room somewhere.

wtfomg?! It's F1!!!
/me thanks the lord there isn't a secret room here
Here's the raddy; 4"x6"x16" evaporator core. With the A/C cooling the room, the whole system would keep a T-Bird 1.33@1976 (2.11 Vcore) at about 20C constant temps...

Gonna be modding my mouse and keyboard again after i finish exams june 27th,
heres just a few ideas i had for my mouse, pritty much know what i'll be doin with the keyboard
i'll just be drillin holes in a pattern and placing leds inside the mouse then maybe fill up the holes with a clear resin or liquid plastic, sanding it then to get a smooth finish
Not sure either whether to use blue or red leds, i'll be gettin loads for the keyboard mod so i huess i could try em both out and see which i like best
Sounds good, but I'd never dare mod my MX700. Just in case I mess it up, and that its fine how it is.

its a cheep ass mouse serial i've had since before i can remember so its not really gonna be a great loss if i mess it up but on the other hand if it turns out fine then i got a cool looking mouse
Well, my case is still in New Hampshire, so I can't take any pictures of it with our sweet new digital camera... I do have some pictures that I took with a 35mm while I was modding it.
Basically, I totally stripped this thing down and repainted it. The inside is engine compartment black and the outside is metallic blue. There are a bunch of other mods as well; fans, temperature probes, etc. All the drives got painted and the LEDs were swapped out for blue ones, but I don't have any good pictures of them at the moment.
These pictures are of the fan mods that I did...
No pictures of the R404A chiller with me at the moment, either. It's partially disassembled pending repair... And still in New Hampshire. At one point in time I had removed the fan from the blowhole over the CPU and had the insulated hose for the waterblock running out of it. Afterall... You don't exactly fit an R404A chiller in the case. It was, if I do say so myself, probably the slickest chiller setup I've ever seen... Short of putting the whole thing in a cabinet, like DeathStar's awesome watercooling rig.
Nice pictures and rig there DeathStar, thanks for sharing.
Well, I built a fan bus that controls all of the audible fans in the case because the noise started to get to me. LOL... So, it can be quiet... It can be loud, too. Very loud. Total CFM is between 600 and 800; I really can't say. I know it has gone up since I first built it because some of the 120's and 80's got replaced with higher powered models. I accidentally connected some wires wrong while I was rewiring the case and fried several of my fans.
That top blowhole pushes somewhere around 138 to 150 CFM all on its own. I forgot the specs of that particular fan - But I don't like it. Even when it's dialed down, it is still pretty loud for a 120MM.
Hey DeathStar, that thing IS folding for team 93, right?! lol
AOpen HX-08, side doors and front vent by keto Automotive body shop paint job. DangerDen complete set up, including dual Black Ice Extreme rads on the upper level. Maple leaf fan grills, 4 X 120mm LED fans and 3.5" rheobus courtesy http://adpmods.com
**EDIT** flipped image. Time I took a duster to that sucker LOL
Here's with the doors open, giving you a better idea of the cooling and general set up. The doors close with velcro tabs, was intended to be a temorary solution but has worked out fine.
Note that the hard drive cage is suspended from above. I got to final assembly before realizing that, in normal horizontal configuration, the HDs extended over top of the ATX (PS) connector. There was no joy in Mudville that night, just lots of cursing and pulling of (what's left of my) hair. I ended up hanging the HD cage from the case frame via 3 cable ties. They anchor it there quite fine, thank you kindly, they were a biotch to run but everything is quite stable. Never did get around to finishing up the cable stealthing but it's 98% and hardware keeps coming and going, I won't bother unless I have a show to enter it in or some such.
Eheim 1250 pump is on the upper shelf, furthest corner as you look at the pics - ie, behind the rad.
See the white container with the red top? Up on top of the case. That's actually a Lowry's Spice container that has been reworked into a reservoir. In the original configuration, I designed the system (in part) around the clear acrylic DD res. However, it cracked beyond repair and leaked after 45-60ish days, (no permanent damage) so I built my own to replace it.

Where is the pump and how do you fill/bleed? The hard way?
