Hi all, I've posted this idea on RRTech and LOSIAS, but I want to get your opinions as well.
This will be my first venture into case modding AND watercooling.
I'm planning to buy a Shuttle SA76G2, watercool it, and do a gpu mod so that I can use my HIS 4670HD.
System Specs:
Shuttle SA76G2
AMD Phenom X4 9600
G.Skill HK 2x2GB DDR2 800
HIS Radeon HD4670 Turbo
Western Digital Scorpio Black 160gb
WC Specs:
HWlabs Black Ice GT Stealth 240
Laing DDC 3.2 (need top suggestions, looking at Petra's ATM)
HeatKiller 3.0 LT
Tygon tubing
(need opinion on res. will be side mounted if anything.)
Since I can't have my cake and eat it too, the rad will force me to remove the drive tray. Since I won't have an ODD, I'll make a front faceplate. I'll probably put a custom HDD tray where the stock cooling used to be, since I will be removing it. Also, the Pump will be mounted on the backside of the front, probably where the drive tray used to be.
Here you can see what I plan to do with the GPU, and how I plan to mount the rad.
I may eventually put an lcd in the other side, but this will be one of the last things to happen in this mod, so I have time.
Comments? Questions? Snide remarks?
