CaseLabs STH10

[hackalive]

Well I'm about to take the plunge and buy an CaseLabs STH10 and have it shipped to Australia (although I still am internally battling over this or the TH10).

So assuming I take the STH10 - what are some thoughts on the radiator config for water cooling?

Cheers in advance.

That looks like a computer from the early 80s. You should get it in a tanish color.

It certainly is gigantic - but the advantage of this or the TH10 is you can mount the radiators in a way that are visually intrusive and you can see your kit.

Unfortunately tan is not a color they sell

I guess the question also is am I best water cooling or just air cooling this rig:

2x NVIDIA Quadro 6000

1x NVIDIA Tesla C2075

2x Intel Xeon E5-2687W (not 2690 as it benchmarks lower).

1x ASUS z9PE-D8 WS

1x OCZ RS84 (boot disk)

4x VelociRaptor 1TB - RIAD10 (Marvell controller)

2x VelociRaptor 1TB - RAID1 (Intel chipset)

4x CaviarBlack 2TB - RAID10 (Intel chipset)

4x CaviarBlack 2TB - RAID10 (Intel chipset)

The above hard-disk plan may change - still working out how id store and separate my data - May go Seagate XT over Raptor.

If i did water cool id be looking at HD & RAM water cooling blocks as well.

No blocks are available for the GPUs or SSD.

I am sure it is very spacious and offers tons of user feature because of that space, but then again so were IBMs 1400 series machines.

Oh well - if you have other suggestions feel free to offer them.

At least its not a TX10! They are truly far too big for anyone to really use.

Twas a joke.

I am not a big fan of big cases. I find my 400R to big.

you inspire me bro, just to do good in life and be able to buy crazy things like this.

That case is awesome (like all the others) but bear in mind is it really designed to fit two pcs in

so it might be a little bit more than even you need!

I've got the T10 which has enough space for three 360x80 rads and another 360x60, with a single row of fans around an xl-atx form factor with dual psus and even I think that is more than enough for one pc!

I love this case, its got lots of watercooling rad options and looks awesome

The best to see what you can do with radiators in the case, is to watch Tom's review on it
