Gamebox Pics!!!!!!

[Lord Demios]

These are pictures of the dedicated AC (as in power) CPU cooling system. A little info on the box for ya. The power supply has a switch on the back for turning it on. (not the system) Wired into that are the back and front fans for the system. The front fan pulls air out of the box, and the back one (with filter) blows air in. Now the front one is more powerfull so vent's on the powersupply actually pull air in. The cooling fan for the power supply has been routed via my EE skills and a drill to the case fan area. When there is power to the power supply, the duct system is on. Then when you hit the power switch for the machine. All of the 12 volt fans turn on. This means that no mater what, if the system is plugged in, the cpu is being cooled. If the server is off, but it's plugged in, it's still cooling.

Now for the pics.

This is a picture of the back case fan.

This is the case front, you can almost see the whole case.

COOL, LD!!! Good to see the old Inwin survived the surgury. Are you going to have to modify the ducting if you get Jay's Dual-a-ron?

Not really, I just have to route it across the top more where the CPU's are. Shouldn't be to bad. My biggest concern is the size of the heat sinks he has. I can't have fans on the CPU's so I need to check into the heat sinks. If they aren't big enough, I have two in mind i will probably try to get.

Looking good. But where is my nic card?

ASAP, we will be testing it this weekend. Got a lan party to try it on. When it's there I will be checking loads, and other things to find out the number of game we can run at the same time. The fancy scripts will be a little bit later.
