I have finished my first mod. I had gone out last week and bought a bigger radiator, a more powerfull water pump and a waterblock for the North Bridge. Only problem was my case was already a little full. So I went out and bought a plane jane server case. Took it home and put it under the knife. The back became what is now the bottom. So it stands straight up. What was the bottom I cut out and added a window. Then I cut holes for fans. 1 in each side. 2 in the back where I mounted the rads. I attached the pumps outside the server case on the rear. So now I have over 50% of the water and components out of my case and into it's own box.
since I had 2 pumps and 2 rads I now basically have 2 seperate kits. The 1st pump flows to the video Card, then the old rad and back to the pump. The New pump flows to the northbridge, then CPU, Then Reservoir, then new rad and back to the pump.
Also all last summer I had half the air from my Air Conditioner into my case. Now that summer's over I moved the piping so it's bringing in cold air from outside. I went to home depo and purchased a medium size fan for pushing air through home ventalation and heating systems and installed that aswell to bring in even more cool air. since I had all that cool air to play with I cut 1 more fan hole in the side of the case and have all of that cold air pumping straight into the water case. I havent really had time to get temps yet but I'm homing this will hwlp me to gather up a few more Onions. But even If it dosent. It looks deadly. It was deffinatley a fun project for my first mod. I dont think I will be doing another to soon though.
