Just adding my two pence's worth:
![]() The water cooling assembly can be removed in one piece for maintenance (not that it should need any...) ![]() ![]() ![]() Detail of the home-grown rear fan grilles... ![]() And that is a polished aquatube on top... ![]() Drilled out to accommodate a wider diameter tubing. ![]() Anyway, the modding continues. ![]()

That's way cool.
I hope to have pics of mine soon as well. Like yours, my pump/rad/fan should end up being removable as an assembly, and fillable/bleedable, but without opening up the case. By the way, what do you use to bend your aluminum? Last edited by JSimmons; 04-21-2003 at 10:06 AM. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This looks REALLY good... I like the all-in-one modular fan/rad/pump combo. Really nice and clean job! And, it was about the time you take those two beauties from the shelf and give 'em some action ![]() Can you share some more info how you made the fan grilles? They look industrial, very precise and very NICE (at least to me...)? Great! ![]()

hara is right: it's the MSI K7D Master-L (which means it's got network built in). I considered the Iwill, but there's no way it would have fit in the case, a Lian-Li PC-12.
The specs are a bit fluid at the moment, as I'm buying the electronics when I really need them. No sense getting certain components now when I won't be installing them until a month or two later, and the price has come down. Still, the idea is: Athlon MP --fastest money can buy at the time, I'm aiming for a set of 2600; 2 x WD 1200JB (120G, 8Mb cache); 2 x CD-RW/DVD; 1 floppy (duh); 1 3.5" bay 6 multi-media card reader; 1 gig memory Radeon 9800 5" colour LCD screen in floppy bay, running Glint. ![]() (Visit www.scitechconcept.com to find out more) Watercooling: - The blocks you see are Paul Vodrazka's home-made blocks (There are some threads on this forum discussing them); - Probably a Danger Den block for the Radeon (unless D-Tek comes up with something better); - Aquatube res; - Johnson CM30P7-1 pump (12V, continuous rated, about 360 GPH; there are some threads here discussing that one also); - BIX chrome edition rad; - home-made shroud; - Aluminium 120mm Panaflo fan. eBay occasionally still has these discontinued models. General case cooling is by four Thermaltake smart fans. There's going to be a Zalman passive NB cooler, and silver rounded cables of course. Puzzdre: The grilles you see are easy to make, really: You get the standard Thermaltake grille that comes with the fan: ![]() And mount one of these esoteric Hi-Fi anti-vibration feet on them. They are called "Tenderfeet" and you get three for about $10,--. They are aluminium and come in silver and black, and two sizes (pointy and flat. these are the flat ones): ![]() Superglue the foot on the grille. Use "gel" superglue-- less runny. Et voila! ![]() ![]() Bit of a cheat, I suppose, but I didn't have access to a lathe. Looks trick though, and it's cheaper than buying custom grilles. ![]()

Tenderfeet can be bought :here: for instance. Located in the UK, they ship to the US as well. Otherwise, just type "Hi-Fi Tenderfeet" into Google.
The 5" LCD screen can be got at Parts Express. They don't do a touchscreen version but Gideontech, as it happens, do a review of a 5.1" one :here:. That one is made by Massworks but they do not sell it anymore. ![]() For articles/pics on mods involving the 5" LCD screen visit: Mikhailtech Wise Ganesha's Hardware Extravaganza Gruntville Soulsend Gideontech Gallery Bit-tech.net forum thread
