Well, if you're here, you must be asking yourself what a "katipo" is.

*slide please*

The Katipo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katipo) is a spider in the Latrodectus genus, best known for the black widow. Native to New Zealand, it is one of the only dangerous indigenous animals. It's also the most striking-looking of the widow spiders.

So where is this going? I need a mobile video game dev platform, as well as a good media center to play ripped movies. I also want to do something that flies in the face of both normalcy and also everything I've ever done.

Tomorrow, we'll look at what I have in store. Tonight, I leave you with spiders.

Well, she lives!

Specs:

Lian-Li spider ITX bench
E6550@stock
Zotac G43 mITX board
2GB DDR2-1066
ASUS DirectCUII 550Ti (clocks aren't finalized, they're still climbing)
Laptop 4x DVD-RW
Seagate 7200.10 640GB SATAII (pretty sure)
Cooler Master 430w PSU

Cooling consists of:

AC Cuplex HD 775
Koolance chipset block (modded heavily)
Koolance RAM block (modded as well)
Masterkleer 1/4" ID red tubing
DDC3.2 w/Bitspower top
Bitspower 5 1/4 bay res, inverted and Kaptan taped to the chassis w/G1/4 male double sided fitting to pump

All lighting is LED, and even at full load for 6+hour gaming sessions she's deadly silent. Much like her namesake.

Hahaha, nice! :D I don't think I've seen liquid cooling on that case before.

...looks like your GPU needs a bit of structural help though. ;)
