markklebs-MKmods SFF comp gallery..

MKmods · Mar 10, 2008, 06:43 AM

I keep getting PMs for my older comps so I thought I would post a few of them here.

This was my first as my Qpack was just too messy inside

My Bro gave me some Legos for Xmas so I made a really SFF comp

I got bored with the Lego comp with wheels so I made an aquarium

Than I made this one from Perforated steel

People were asking for alum so I made this one out of Perforated Alum with CarbonFiber
I also made my own cooling blocks.

It is an oil cooler made by Russell Performance, it performs much better than a reg rad as flow of coolant/air is better.
I designed the comp case around it and the mobo (the Asus P5E N SLI was narrower than reg mobos so it allowed me to use the rad in a case only 10" wide.)

Genius.! Sure it's a VIA but perhaps it's a lesson for us to learn, not to ignore VIA's embedded solutions. You could give this a look: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/artigo/

we truly live in an amazing time..Pretty much what we can dream up is possible. My little Lego comp wasa built with one of the early VIA comps that used used nvidia 5200PCI for graphics, the new ones can use Quad cores and PCIX 16 cards..

That comp taught me quite a bit about power consumption and wiring.

Thanks btarunr
