Lascala LC13B-E + Watercooling

post #1 of 56
Thread Starter 
Here's my current desktop size HTPC+Gaming build. I had the cards and blocks for sale at first but no bites, thus I'm repurposing them. In a nutshell I'm gonna stick a full loop into a SilverStone Lascala ATX HTPC case. I was originally going to put it into a Lian Li PC-V351B after seeing another memeber's build but after mulling it over, decided it wasn't very HTPC-like. And that was the crux of how I was going to rationalize this all to the wife, lol. It's all for her anyways right?

Here's the specs.

HARDWARE:

CPU: Phenom II x4 955 C3
MainBoard: Arock 880G Extreme 3
GPU: XFX 4890 Extreme x2
RAM: Gskill RipJaws 1600 4x2GB
PSU: SilverStone 750W ST75F-P
HD: Crucial C300 64GBx2
Case: SilverStone Lascala LC13B-E

Water Cooling:

CPU block: XSPC Rasa AMD
Pump: Swiftech MCP355 w/35x top
Liquid: Distilled + PT Nuke
Reservoir: MCP35x Res
Rad: XSPC RX360 + Phobya Bricky
Fans: Artic Cooling F12 1400rpm
GPU block: EK-FC4890 CF Acetal/Nickel x2
Tubing: Primochill LRT 1/2ID
Fittings: Bitspower Rotary+Angled+Black Barbs

Stock Lascala

Here's where I'm at right now starting to line things up for cuts, moved the dual 5 1/4 bays moved to the left and mockup board in the case.





Rad in mounted with some fans and grill... checking clearance etc. Looking good so far I think.







Clearance under RX360 and cpu block and barbs.

Looks like a cool build, are you sticking fans on that rad or going passive?

Fans are hard to see, black on black. When I'm done getting it all to fit, it will be sprayed flat black, yay. Got two cans of rustoleum for that.

Man, Rasa AMD kit really sucks w/ it's lack of a proper back plate. I had to mod the back plate on the Asrock which arrived last night. The threading on the Asrock plate was too big so I drilled it larger and used the back plate from the mock up board, which then thankfully fit inside the metal Asrock back plate. Wipes brow...

Then I had to cut out sheet metal behind the now thickened back plate. It wouldn't be so bad had SilverStone not decided to make the area under the cpu socket raised, thus reducing the clearance. Why SS, why oh why?

After that ordeal, I cut the front panel to make clearance for the rad barbs. Then I sprayed it all Rustoleum style.

I then am going to cut the top panel in half, gonna use the table saw for that one. The rad, fans, grill will then be mounted to that and the whole "unit" will be mounted.

Misc thoughts: I'm using the 360 rad from my main system, which I then changed out for a RX480. This RX480 was dropped on it's head by the experts at Fedex! One claim later and a new rad is enroute.



Thus at the moment, that system is down waiting on a rad, which also entailed modding the top panel. At the same time I drilled a 5 1/4 panel to directly mount my Sunbeam fan controller.

Oh yea, I used double sided tape to keep this sucker glued down on the top panel.

As soon as the paint dries I'll snap a pic.
