I realized that it's been over a year since I've had a girlfriend. I'm going to honor that memory by building a pc(I would build it anyway).
I'm going for a simple black full tower. Basically this machine is going to be my hardware template for 2 servers I plan on building later this year.
My current pc is a 750 mhz Athlon that's lasted me 5 years and is finally starting to be just too old and problematic.
This new one is going to be a 3.6ghz p4 xeon with watercooling, so I'm going to oc it to 4 ghz.
Right now a lot of this is at the conceptual phase. My hardware ideas might change, but my case I've started on.
I'm using a chenming steel full tower server case.

I bought a Black Ice XtremeII Radiator.

I also got the Eheim 1250 waterpump

I got my case, stripped it down to nothing and started my work. The front intake holds 3 80mm fans, so I felt the rad would work perfectly in this. I had to figure out a way to mount the rad. Well after about 3 feet of slotted steel and a couple of bolts, I have a mount. I also had to cut a cb mount for the screw attachments to the U shaped slotted steel. This took me about 5 hours so far.
I have access to cameras, but I'm not a big picture person. I will probably do a few pictures in the process and a few after completion.
I hope y'all can help me with ideas once I really start to work on it. Damn the weather.
