I have always wanted to water cool a Shuttle. I had been making a list of parts and dimentions for a while, but getting a pump in such a little box frustrated me for the longest time, until Xoxide came out with a really cool looking pump/res that solved my last problem.
Then the mod built itself and I was along for the ride.
This is just the first phase of this project, but by far the coolest phase. And I was so excited that it worked, and worked WELL, that I had to post it. This is an integrated watercooled Shuttle.
The first cuts. Where the radiator and pump will go.
I wanted this huge freaking radiator because I wasn't sure the pump would be up to the task. So I stuck with my "Too much is never enough" philosophy and wedged teh sucker in.
You can see it takes up the entire length and top of the Shuttle. And I loved how the back says "Look at my watercooled rear end!".
You can see vaguely where the hose will be run.
I needed to route the hose into the 3.5" bay in order to get around the power supply (not shown). I decided bending the edges away would chaffe less on the hose, and it would never be seen.
You can see the hose goes in the 3.5" bay and over the hard drive.
