I've already posted pics of this rig before but thought I'd move some to the official sticky. Also changed the water cooling color and a couple of IDE cables. The first one is from LANageddon, close to 300 gamers were there.
It works excellent. In fact I am quite certain my flow rates improved, offsetting any increase in water temperature from the CPU and NB combined. I dont have any hard data but have seen testing that proves this is a better way to cool CPU, NB & GPU, rather than putting them inline.
Dude, that looks exactly like the computer of one of my friends ... like, exactly it. Weird
This is mine. I have a new EL round IDE cable in there now, which looks purdy. I need to replace the fans on the PSU, though. They're too loud (and I hate the sound of fans...). The only thing I wish I could do is mod/buy 90* connectors for the SATA cable and power. It'd look so much better. I'd also like to figure something out with that damn mobo power cable, but there's not a lot I can do there...
It's not really a mod, I suppose, other than the cable management. But still. I wanted to post it anyways
hm, i cant belive i havent put the ol' infiltrator in here
it got its name from the Infiltration mode in SOF2
the we had the hurricane come and hit VA and it died
i ended up having to replace ALL of the parts in it
now its got a p4 2.4, 512 mb of ram, a 9800 pro, 80gb sata hdd, linksys wireless G.
Oooooh, mods...freakin' awesome sweet rig Trash80 (and I thought that 3.0GHz was good )...gotta love Magic's HL2 case as well...too bad I don't have a dig camera or I'd pic mine too...but see sig for the basics...tomorrow is all about getting her back up and running after another freakin' ICH5R meltdown (front panel USB related), and I'm putting in a CoolerMaster Hyper 48 heatpipe and fixing my cold cathode PS wires.
well here are some pics of my system, hopefuly now that im out of school i can work on it some more. I would like to clean up some cables, buy a couple new parts and some paint on the inside. Also does anyone remember who painted their case with a silver coat first then with a light blue coat over it, so it looked like blue metal? i remember i really liked that look and would like to read agian on how he did it. hopefully you guys remember what im talking about.
My new PC, I call it Ammo Can. I carved it out of a mil. surplus 20mm ammo can. Hole saws for the fan openings, sabre saw for the straight lines, angle grinder for removing large amounts of material, and a dremel for fine detail work. Took a great deal of work to cut through all that steel, it's quite thick in places. In fact, the lid had a second layer of corrugated steel spot welded to it, I had to break each weld by hand and peel the metal off. Long, time consuming work. I could have left it, but it would have made mounting the DVD bracket more difficult.
Rig contains a DFI LanParty NF3 Ultra D mobo, AMD Athlon 3000+ 64 bit (yea, it's Folding) affixed to a slide out mobo tray taken from a cheap case. I drilled out the rivets that held the bottom rail into the original case and epoxy'd it into the ammo can. The mobo tray (with mobo attached) slides into the case and is held in place by the rail. Video card is just a BIT too wide, so I have to slide the mobo tray into the case, install the vid card, and slide it out just slightly to tighten the hex screw.
DVD is a 16X DL RW, and the bracket for it was also taken from the cheap case, and riveted to the lid of the ammo can.
HDD is a 160GB WD SATA drive, mounted to the side of the case with 2 screws (bottom mount). I wanted to use all 4 screws, but only 2 of them lined up when all was said and done. Electrical insulation between the case wall and the drive bottom is provided by two strips of duct tape (kinda ghetto, but I like to think it fits with the overall theme I got going here). Besides the tape is mostly hidden under the drive.
I am not completely done, as I need to install two military safety toggle switches (flip up covers) on the front for power and reset. I also need to dress/tie off/loom the internal wires. However, it is now up and running. Pictures below (sorry if they are too big/too many). Thank you.
