Looks like the Coolermaster cases the many people drooled over but couldnt afford back in the day (3 years ago?). ATC 201 or ATC 210 i believe. Friggen beauties of cases. Cant really find them these days.

 

[Tankengine9]

Yeah its the Coolermaster ATC 210

How about the water cooling system? is it custom built? or do you think he has a kit?

its a danger den water cooling system. go to www.dangerdenstore.com to check it out. he used the maze 4 line of water blocks and the xtreme I radiator.

 

[Tankengine9]

where is his Reservoir?

 

[Mik3y]

the reservoir is in the top 5.25 inch bay(s), depending on whether he used to single or dual one.

 

[Tankengine9]

hey mike, i would like to build the same thing,

i have the BFG 6800 ultra video card that requires water cooling, and i really like his system so i would like to build something similar,

the only thing im after is getting the water cooling system internally,

what other parts is he using, i am new at the water cooling thing

i see he has a T tube, what is the part on the roof of the case? the pump? and on the lower right hand side is the reservoir? but where does that 1 tube go to?

im a newbie that this

thanks for all the help

 

[Tankengine9]

how big would my reservoir need to be to support the cpu, video and chipest

 

[Mik3y]

the top is the radiator, the drive bays are the reservoir, and and the bottom front is the pump. note that he had to mod the case at the top sto support the radiator. he used the xtreme I, which is a single 120mm radiator and fan. the top of the case us cut to allow air to flow out. this is just one way of doing it, but is likely the best looking. what case do u have tankengine? how many drive bays do u have open? for the cpu, video, and chipset, i'd recommend the dual drive bay resorvoir.

Hey mik3y

i have a regulare joe blow case, i think i should get a new one

i have a chaintech znf150 m/b with amd 64 3400

i only have a dvd burner


only reason why i would like to cool everything with water is because the vid card needs it so why dont i just do it all right?

 

[Mik3y]

sure. there's nothing wrong with water cooling a system...besides price. 🙂 in your case, you'll need/want:

? Danger Den Maze 4 Water Block For Socket 754/939/940 CPU $35
? Danger Den Maze 4 Motherboard Chipset Water Block $43
? Danger Den Maze 4 GPU Water Block For nVidia & ATI Cards $40
? Danger Den DD12V-D4 Water Pump For Liquid Cooling System $75
? Danger Den Black Ice Xtreme Radiator For Liquid Cooling System $66
? Danger Den Dual 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir For Liquid Cooling System $32

it's pretty pricey, but you'll have to shed $300 ($291 to be exact) for just the water cooling system. you will be able to get ultra extreme oc's tho. as for a case, if you want that same case, i know of a place where you can still find it.

 

[Mik3y]

you can get that case here.

 

[Tankengine9]

actually i need The Danger Den 6800 Solution for GPU and RAM cooling.

for 124.99 USD actually
i have the BFG 6800

oops, you're correct. so ya, that's $350ish for water cooling, lol. 🙂

 

[Tankengine9]

1 more thing,
where did he get those tubs?

 

[Mik3y]

i think he got them from the same site under tubing. if not, i'll go ask my friend.

 

[Tankengine9]

hey mik3y thanks a million for all your help

 

[Thurgo0dy]

Go here if you want to see exactly how he did it.😉 and here are some more pics of his system.

i 0n0. i dont know the guy. that dude is my friend's friend who he's met from online.

So can you simply take a exacto knife or razor blade and cut up a IDE ribbon cable so that it could be bundled up? Or is it pretty risky to cut through and hit a wire?

Nice, clean pics all! This makes me really want to clean up the inside of mine, but I'm not sure where to start. It's pretty crammed in there.

 

[Safeway]

Just buy rounded, they are cheap enough. The chance of slicing the ribbon is too great.
