Everybody knows The Simpson's right? And of course everyone knows and loves Moe's Tavern, right?

This mod will turn a Compaq Server into a WaterCooled version of Moe's Tavern.

you should make it beer cooled rather than water cooled. It's a tavern after all, and I think Homer would approve. :D

Trace

12-20-2009, 03:16 AM

Picked up some Bondo earlier, plan to actually get some work done tomorrow
Going to pick up 1 or 2 '77 Bonneville Heater Cores $25 each.

I can now outline some specs for the actual computer:

ASUS p6t SE
6GB (2GB*3) Patriot Gaming RAM
Core i7-940 with HeatKiller 3.0 LC
2*500GB Raid 0 HDD with 1TB backup drive

I'll edit the above list as I get more, and as parts arrive I'll post pictures

:banana:, Who don't like the simpsons :D, gotta subscribe to this. :santa::up:

Trace

Couple of things--Since my i7-940 was unstable, I returned it and picked up a 920 D0 instead.
Also, Since my metal working skills suck, and I have 0 metal working tools, This will be a scratch build out of MDF, etc.

hooray! Another MDF user! :P

Trace

12-28-2009, 12:43 AM

Hopefully getting to Home Depot tomorrow to pick up a big board or two of MDF/other wood. Let's hope for some progress
Sidenote: My i7 is running 4.0Ghz 1.306 vCore

Trace

Just need to find the time to sketchup.

Trace

03-18-2010, 11:47 PM

Waynio

Looks about right to me other than the billboard but smart thinking of it :):up:.
I should do a springfield elementary one hehe :banana:.

Trace

03-22-2010, 05:33 PM

I'll probably end up doing the whole town, if this idea catches on
Only time will see what catches my fancy.

I was also thinking springfield church.

Now that would make an interesting Folding cluster in the basement.

With a working nuclear power plant as well maybe? :twisted:

Congrats on the new sponsor. I love the Mimo monitors, I just can't justify buying one atm. (Along with so many other things. :P )

Trace

Trace
