Water / TEC Cooled Chieftec Scorpio Full Tower

Voila... one case:

Main uses are:

Graphic & WebDesign, Digital Audio Recording (Cubase VST 5.11), Competitive Benching, FileServer / Multimedia Jukebox.

The entire rig WAS in my basement. Cables come up thru floor into my living room comprising Keyboard / Mouse / Monitor / TV Out / SVHS & Composite In / Audio Out / Line In. The TV Out signal goes into a Mitsubishi Nicam video, and from there into an 8 set booster box where it is fed to every room in the house (which comprises two flats, mine on the ground floor and the neighbours upstairs). The monitor feed goes to a switchbox, and from there to my Relisys TE770BS Monitor, also in the living room. Keyboard & Mouse are cordless.

So, basically, you can put films / music on the PC and walk into any room in any flat in the house and be able to watch or listen to the same thing... perfect for parties etc... Internet Access from any TV too...

Oh aye, and I've just built a 150" Projector which hooks up to it all as well!!

And still waiting to be added in to the equation... I've got a chiller halfway thru testing / setting up but it ain't performing right yet... so have another on it's way (used bar flash-chillers)

For now it gets used as the shop fridge.... altho froze milk has become a problem...

(Only shot that shows the compressor model number)

And last up... my.. er... workshop (think that's the best word for it other than calling it a general dumping ground for crap I'm mucking about with!) The general plethora of DangerDen stuff there is for their guides that I'm half way thru doin...

CPU speed changes according to what I'm doin so god knows what the above is showing... it's updated live, put it that way... so whatever that shows is what I'm running at at this moment in time.

I like the curved windows: it's a nice and elegant way to work around that handle!

Looking forward to some chilled results!
