To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3,8
AMD XFX HD5870 @ 1000/1250
Asus M4A78 Pro
Kingston Value Ram 8G DDR2-800
Samsung 103SJ
Be Quiet Pure Power L7 430W

Water cooling:
Innovatek HPPS Plus
CPU /// aqua computer cuplex kryos Delrin
GPU /// some Zalman CPU block
Filter /// homemade from 50mm PVC pipe, aluminum mesh and pantyhose
Radiator /// VW Scirocco radiator + 6x Revoltec 140mm fan
Hose /// 11/8mm

Mods:
VGA stickered with heatsinks, VRMs are cooled using one third of a AMD boxed cooler

The case is made mainly from particle board, the side panels are plywood for strenght. The red parts are cloth, actually bedding sheets. They double up as air filters. Air enters front, left and rear and gets pushed out on the bottom (PSU airduct) and right (radiator). Because of this, the mainboard sits upside-down on the left, CPU on the bottom, GFX on top. The metal parts (drive cage, mainboard tray and expansion slots) are scalvaged from my former case, the Sharkoon Rebel 9. On top i have integrated a handle, there would have been no way i could carry all 50 pounds the case weights with all hardware installed. The case is covered with an aluminum mesh on the inside to keep all ESD and EMI out.
The 3,5" hole in the front will be home to a cardreader. I know the cables are a mess, i will clean them up. Also, i need to build a water block for the Nortbridge and VGA and CPU VRMs since those get kinda hot.
