After seeing x0zm_ make a thread about his water cooled build Id thought Id do the same. Wile I will not be making custom blocks for this build I will be doing alot of case modding and cool stuff Id like to share.
I'm building the system mostly to play older/early 3d games that do not fair all to well on newer systems along with games that use EAX.
Project Hardware & Specs
Case: ANTEC SX635.
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2400+
Motherboard: Abit KG7-Raid.
Video Card: FX5950+voodoo2 sli. [need to buy them still]
Sound Card: Sound blaster audigy 2 zs.
RAM: 512mb DDR400.
HDD: 2 New old stock 40gb WD IDE drives in raid 0.
FDD: TBD
ODD: DVD-Ram drive.
PSU: TBD
Cooling:
CPU Block: Koolance CPU-300.
GPU Block: Koolance GPU-180.
Chipset Block: Koolance GPU-180.
Pump: TBD
Reservoir: TBD
Radiator: TBD. I have a few but I may but a different one.
Plans and ideas
The two NOS hard drives will be used for the OS and most games. I'll find a bigger drive for ISO images, backups and latter games that take up alot of space.
I will need to pick a radiator to use, I have a handful of 92mm and 120mm radiator, but the 120mm radiators I have are all aluminum and the 92mm are fairly thick and too new for the build.
I'll still need to find a pair of Voodoo2's and a fx5950 for the system, same for a PSU, pump and reservoir.
I'll be modifying the case, I want to add a side window and maybe replace the 80mm fans with 92mm fans.
