hmm, its a good little mini project

but i have to ask...whats the point? I know a lot of modding it 'becuase i can' or 'becuase it looks cool' but you arent gonna be using it for games becuase theres no graphics card, it wont OC well becuase of the widdly PSU. I guess the only use would be a media pc or a download slave? at which point the watercooling becomes just massively unneccesary

(which is the best kind of unneccesary)

what program did you use to draw the 3d model
really want to know

oliverw92 · 07-28-09

@ tathar26: i used google sketchup pro 7

@ retrogamer1990: i might get a HD 4770 1gb single slot short card to put in it, in which case i can game on it

i plan to have it as an HTPC and an average gaming pc, one you could stick in your living room to game on with friends etc.

thanks for the comments guys

i think i will got with 2mm alu.

in the news recently, 1tb 2.5" hdd just released! so the capacity of this project has gone up to 2tb!

Nice! This will be really cool.

Maybe when you finish ityou could build more of them and sell them as complete PC's to people on this forum.

dno about that. the laser cutter and the cnc milling machine both belong to my school. i spose i could sell the cases as kits. it only works with a specific set of hardware though.

yeah definately get a gpu, just make sure your psu can handle it + overclocks

oliverw92 · 07-28-09

well i won't oc the gpu, and i doubt i will oc the cpu. i am thinking of getting a 4670 (not 4770) 1gb gddr3 version. one of these:

i think the 150w psu will JUST manage that. if not, i may have to consider one of those 200w mini circuits.

i'm not sure if i would want to have a sound card instead of a gpu though. maybe i will make a quick change system so it is easy to swap. the zotac board is only 2.1.

well ive changed the design a bit, i'm going to mount the fillport on the top of the case, much easier for filling and emptying it and also makes tubing easier.

just read through this very interesting design concept +1 for that alone subbed and looking forward to futher progress updates after the summer

If you're not going to OC anything, why WC then? I'd just get a tiny HSF.
