CPU Magazine ~ Mad Reader Mod (June 2009)


























Yours truly, Syr




NOTE: The images above are of an ATI-based system. I have since swapped out components to an Nvidia-based system.

Hardware:
  • Q9550 @ 4.0
  • EVGA 780i FTW
  • (2 x) 2 GB Corsair PC2 8500
  • (2 x) 280 GTX in SLI
  • (2 x) Velociraptors in RAID 0
  • (2 x) Zalman MFC1 fan contollers
  • Plextor slot drive
  • Silverstone 1200W PSU

CPU/NB Loop:
  • Laing Vario pump
  • HW Labs 480 GTX radiator
  • EK150 reservoir
  • D-Tek Fuzion V2 CPU block
  • EK NB Block

GPU Loop:
  • Laing Vario pump
  • HW Labs 480 GTX radiator
  • Swiftech Microres V2
  • 2 x Danger Den full-coverage blocks

Build notes:
  • Sliding PSU tray
  • Sliding HDD cage tray
  • Sliding carbon fiber motherboard tray
  • External fill port for GPU loop
  • Trap-door fill-point for CPU loop
  • Modular front panels that can accommodate a combination of air/liquid cooling components to include 120, 220, 360, 480 and PA160 radiators, 120 and 140mm fans, and window-blanks
  • Internal space to accommodate 2nd MATX system on the backside of the existing motherboard tray
  • Top-mount hinged front access



**Note** This thread is volatile and unruly, occasionally it wanders off in odd and off-colored directions.....

Post #2 contains permalinks to all build-relevant posts.
