Well after much hard work, my beast is just about done. For a long time I have wanted a pimped out rig, now I think I have just that. Those of you who know my 'old rig' (Lite-On FS-020), this new rig has all the same parts, except now I have 2 Heater Cores running in parallel. The new rig sports 13 fans and is lighter and QUIETER than the box it replaces.
My main mission on this project was to seperate the case, which a cube does by design (well this one does anyway) . I wanted the pump, PSU and all drives AWAY from the MOBO and processor. I have achieved my mission.
FANS
------
120mm's:
4 Panaflo M1A's on the HC's - 86CFM @ 35dBa all on Rheostat
2 Panaflo L1A's on the 2 top front intakes - 69CFM @ 30dBa
3 Mechatronics, 2 on top (one blowing in mobo side, one exhausting, pump side and one behind the mobo) - 55CFM @ 25dBA
80mm's:
4 Panaflo L1A 24CFM @ 22dBa on rear exhausting.
CPU temps are roughly 4C - 5C better with the same settings and the same components, the added air and dual HC's really help.
I plan to do a build 'article' in the near future but I will show some early finished pics here.
