I spot a mistake, the socket in your 3d drawings looks like a 754 not a 939

yes I know the liquid will cool them, however the liquid gets hot from cooling the cpu and gpu so the fan cools the liquid. I just dont know if it will be able to do a good enough job cooling the liquid.

Yes, even though I am using water to cool the CPU and GPU (Possible the PSU and DDR too) the exact same amount of heat is generated and must be transfered into the air. I am using a Black-ice Extreme 120mm radiator, and a medium power 120mm fan. The radiator has a much larger surface area for heat transfer then both the CPU heatsink, and GPU heatsink combined, therefore it will cool better then the original heatsinks, even with a single fan.

Well zap sounds like you have done your homework, I was just going by your drawings. But you have it all figured out and sounds like it should be a pretty nice setup. Maybe try to market it as a new setup for those shuttle boxes, maybe a few extra $$$ coming in Anyway good job on the design, cant wait to see the final results!

I noticed I don't have my latest rendering on these forums: Large image: http://www.zapwizard.com/Proje.../pla...lans/wood-4.jpg' ">http://www.zapwizard.com/Projects/wood/plans/wood-4.jpg I have changed the pump to a much better DDC pump. I added a resivoir to allow the system to remain full all the time. I moved the harddrive and DVD, and added the drawer rails that will allow for easy access.

How do you plan on keeping the HD Cool? and will you be using a different type of liquid besides water?

That's an odd design for your water block, is that your design? You might find that it will slow your flow rate down, making your temps higher than what they should be.

That is my design, as above the channels are designed to be easy to make using a dremel. That may change if I have the block CNCed, or even as I am cutting the channels.

I'll be watching, Probably, he has more larger tools and space then I do. "Technical salads" LOL I like that. ----------- Text update: I have finalized my designs for the internals. I will be using a 380-watt server power supply that I was going to use on another project: http://www.zapwizard.com/Proje...rPC/.../PSU/Index.html' ">http://www.zapwizard.com/Proje...LaserPC/PSU/Index.html It is not silent by any means, but I plan on lowering the sound by removing the four 40mm fans. The large 120mm fan output will be routed to pass out the back of the case, passing through the PSU on it's way out. I also have a initial design for the outside of the case, it will be flat on the top and bottom, and curved on the sides.

ZapWizard. Nice to happen upon your stuff. Saw your MaxPC rig, but didn't know it was you. I read so many tech magazines that sometimes I do not always read the text or just peruse it. Anyway man, nice work. I saw your site and body of work, and came away impressed and inspired.
Anyway, how are you going to fabricate the WBs? Concsidering your setup, an acrylic cap would be nie although the thermal transfer would not nearly be as good though probably only by 2-3 degrees.
Additionally, how did you render your drawings? Solidworks?
Thanks man.

Solidworks? I am not sure on the blocks yet, as above, I am checking into getting them water-cut or CNCed. I don't want an acrylic cap, as I want polished copper to be visible. Also as in the thread, I used trueSpace3 for the renders. QUOTE (Super_Dude @ Jan 18 2005, 10:12 PM)Why kingston? Sponsor maybe? Also, what brand of harddrive will you be using? Kingston as I already have the memory (If I can find it in my office) The harddrive is a 120GB Segate Baracuda that I won at QuakeCon and am using in my main system.
