MoonPig's Desk Mod

[MoonPig]

Hey,

I started a deskmod afew months back. It's gone well, and slowly developed over the months.

The Story:

I had a desk made for be, before i was into computers, about 8 years ago. Then after 6months of a thermaltake soprano, i decided it would be good to build my computer into my desk.

The mod cost me the price of some fans and extra cables.. haha. So quite cheap.

The 4 120mm fans ment i had great airflow. And managed 23c idle, 32c load on my 4870.

But recently i bought a Zalman reserator, and now ive gone fully custom water cooling. Which should be done this Wednesday.

It's very different! Not what I thought. The rad looks like its against some wood, is there a hole for airflow?

 

[MoonPig]

Thanks guys.

Below is the PSU, HD, CD, Wires and a 120mm fan.

The Rad is lifted about 3mm off the wood. I'm going to trial push and pull with the fans to start with. Then eventually make it so that the air flows through to the Mobo.

you might well need to lift rad out a bit more or you might have issues with pressure, or cut a hole through to the main chamber.

Well im aiming for pull from the fans to start with. And my room has a low ambient temp, so it should be alright.

I'll see over this week, then i'll start considering different options.

 

[k4p84]

there is next to no difference between push or pull. Combined there is a bit of an improvement.
