Right a planning post i think.
Hardware:
Keeping it simple so there is hopefully more room in the box.
- Asus P5N-D (so i can go Sli)
- E8500 (i like to play)
- Shiney OCZ RAM (shiney as in looks shiney
)
- 8800GTS (one for now)
Water Werks:
- XSPC X2O 400 Pump and Reservoir (pump + reservoir all in one)
- Alphacool NexXxos Xtreme II Rev2 Double Radiator
- EK Supreme Clear Top
- XSPC Full Cover 8800GT/GTS
- Alphacool compresion fittings for 10/8 tubing
Modding List:
I always knew this was going to be tight as the radiator is 280mm wide and the case is 284mm wide.... so getting it to fit is going to be... intresting to say the least.
To fit the ATX board inside the case it will have to be mounted sideways so the cables come out of the side of the box as opposed to the back, means moddifying the side panel which is no biggy really. Although if anyone has a template of an I/O plate with the expansion slots please drop me a PM as i would like to get it right.
HDD mounting? not normally an issue but since when was this ever going to be normal? the reason this crops up is because where the HDD normally mounts there is going to be a radiator there, so i have juryrigged it so that it is attached to one of the case fans. (pics will follow in a few days) needless to say its out of the way now.
Windows. I am thinking about etching Pinstripes into the corners of the windows and lighting them so they light up. (very Technical explaination there I know)
And more moddifying that needs to be done as it crops up.
Ive probably forgotten something but nevermind, thats why theres an edit button there
GPU waterblock fitting:
Pinstripe Idea:
This is a bottom left hand corner pinstripe i was considering:
Im not too sure on this as i kind of just cobbled it together in paint using some i found on the internet but if anyone else has any ideas feel free to present them
Name:
I am looking for a name for this project as well so ideas are very definately welcome as i am rubbish at thinking up that kind of thing.
Thanks for Reading, unfortunately there will be no further updates until tuesday so, sorry on that one.
