what u thing?... would make a neat drive station or wc station like dans turbine, but i dont wanna copy that one:banana:

if i get to work with the tubes ill get this moved to WIP, until then plz post comments and ideas:D

EDIT:

im thinking of having a dvd-rom device and 2 or more harddrives inthere. a 140 mm cooler fits perfectly to make a god airflow:P

I think copying dan's turbine would be perfect. Kinda paying homage and giving it your own spin. BTW, (original NES) metroid FTW! +rep for the idea. Let me know when you want this moved.

Dang it!!! SgtM stole my idea :p That model would be perfect to
make into a turbine thing like dan's idea. And it wouldnt necessarily
be copying since this model is way different from his.

well.. i liked dans turbine, but i think its a bit to big just to put a res and a raddy in:/.. even with a pump i dont think i would be satisfied...

there is room for a standard sized powersupply in the back so the posiblities are countless!

yeah but with it shaped like a cylinder and going off the scale of a standard ATX PSU, a WC setup is about all you can fit. Obviously a PC isn't gonna fit in there, not even a MATX board. Its just not the right size and shape to accommodate that stuff. With the turbine idea you could fit maybe 2-4 rads in there or something, maybe integrate the entire Watercooling setup. Or (i just got this idea) you could mount your HDs or CD/DVD drives and PSU in there and use it as a drive bay and then mount it on the top of a case. Maybe mod a lanbox to make a super small super powerful computer. I'm just rambling at this point but there are a few ideas for you.

well.. the idea was to mount the dvd, hdd and some other stuff inthere and make it alle go out via one usb port:)... i got an idea wich requires an aktuator:D this is gonna be neat!
im gonna fit the atx psu intere and wire it up so that i can turn it on and off via some sort of switch:)

hmm.. dont know if this should be moved to WIP... im really not gonna get to work that much on it since im gonna get my scrapheap challenge done first sooo... but ive worked a bit with the idea.. and thoose tubes is a killer to cut:S.. took 7 dremel disk or so just for the little part i cut out xD

Looks like a WIP to me, but if you want to wait until you've done a little more to move it, that's fine with me. PM me when you want it moved, and I'll take care of it for you. Looking good BTW.
