FooBox


So, this foo is building a new system...more likely, rebuilding it in a new case. Most of the components were living happily in my CM 690 II, then…greed, inferiority complexes, and a "cubic pirate" struck…so the transplant was decided, along with the water cooling loop my hot components deserved. So it was meant to be...that big new cube full of fan, heat and 2700 folding threads, my FooBox.
System
• i7 3930K @ 4.7GHz on air - hoping for more
• Thermalright SilverArrow SB-E
• Swiftech H220
• Asus P9X79 Pro
• Samsung Green 30nm 16GB (4x4GB) @ 2400
• EVGA GTX Titan
• Crucial M4 256GB
• WD Black 2TB
• LG iHAS 424
• HLDS GS30N 9.5mm Slot loading DVD-RW
• Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W
Case
• Corsair AIR540
So, it was time for my first custom loop…what the 690 II was promised, but I never got to fulfill for her…
Cooling
• XSPC Raystorm CPU Block
• XSPC Razor GTX Titan GPU Block
• XSPC D5 + D5 v2 Res
• XSPC AX360
• XSPC EX240
• XSPC Black Chrome Compression Fittings
• XSPC White 7/16" Tubing
• XSPC Photon Tube Glass Cylinder Reservoir or EK-MultiOption RES X3 (?)
• Swiftech Helix 120mm PWM x10
• Swiftech PWM Splitter x2
• NZXT FN 140RB
Lights
• XSPC 3mm Twin LED - White - for blocks x2
• Overall case lighting (?)
Scents & Mods
• White Paint - Front and Top case panel mesh (?)
• White Painted PCI slot covers (done)
• White Acrylic, custom MoBo "armor" lightbox
• White Acrylic, bottom lightbox (over HDDs)
• White Acrylic, RAM covers (eek?)
• 9.5mm slot loading optical drive vertically accessible on the top
Color Legend:
Green - Bought / Completed
Orange - Under scrutiny
Red - Abandoned
Progress photos and 3D renderings illustrating intentions will follow up as the thing comes together...
Takes more time than originally planned apparently
