Project: Nameless

have decided to build myself a nice case for my pc.The main difference between this and most of the other projects floating around is that I wont be buying a nice new flash tower to put it in,after having a look on ebay i have found myself a nice candidate for the job.....I already have my mobo(thanks to Webbo).

heres the specs so far:

Q6600

DFI X38 lanparty

XFX 8800gt(looking at new ati 4870 though)

2 x 1gb OCZ platinum 6400(looking at G Skill 2 x 2gb 8500)



so the plan so far is to have 2 loops.

1 for the pwm/n/b and s/b(depends on the availability on the pwm block)

2. for the cpu and gfx card.

would CPU and northbridge and GPU and theh rest on one loop not be better? I havev CPU and GPU on the same loop but will your primary loop not get a bit warm where as your second might get very hot? I might be (and most like am) wrong but just a though, if you are doing 2 loops make it to spead the heat? Lovely case there, fresh frrom '95...

Nice one mate, there'll be plenty of room in that server case. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how it progresses.

update:O Dear!!!

ok,its time to post some pics of what happens when I am let loose with power tools,and tbh the results are very painful



I really cannot cut a straight line......





look at the mess of this one after i measured it wrong(but when the fan grills are on its not noticeable,luckily):



EDIT:just noticed that my feet look realllly small,lol

Ouch...nice effort, but all I can say is I'm glad you did it on that case and not a LiLi

thats why I got a cheap old case rather than a nice costly one

but once i decide what to do with the bezel the front holes wont matter,and my OC3D fan grills cover the top disaster area,all it needs is a quick lick of paint and jobs a good'un(if you believe that you will believe anything,lol)





looks like I am gonna need a miracle for this bit as well

EDIT:this is what happens when you start attacking a case after 26 hours at work and 4 hours sleep

Old Skool 2 New Skool.

When I first looked @ that case. Straight away it reminded me of them good ol' days.
