My new case and cooling

[SilverBack]

My in progress system.

It does indeed keep very cool, plus the 69cfm 120mm fans all 5 of them are pretty quiet.

That is one *huge* case

I'm not sure if I like the placement of your dual rad. The airflow isn't as good as it could be. You should also consider a shroud for that. Besides that, I'm sure it fits your needs and the dual bayres looks neat.

Awesome rig! But why two RAID 0 arrays? Why not make the 120GB drives JBOD or RAID 1?

sick system

Beautiful. I love that case.

 

[pirred908]

Is that the only place you had room for the CCFL? I would try to hide them if I were you.

Also, what did you fill it with specifically (Obviously water )? But what kind of additives and such?

Hey quick question did the case come with something other than wheels to attach to the bottom

Yes, it has audio component type legs.
I put the additional casters on so that the bottom fans could get plenty of airflow.

Zerex coolant, and I have two different UV reactive dyes in them now.

The flow of air really couldn't be better.
The dual rads bring in air through the bottom, the air is expelled through the top 3 120mm's.
THe system stays very cool.

Benchmarking purposes mostly.
Over at PcPitStop there is a team competition going on.
Drive I/O is very important.
To optimize my 1st drive array all temp files, paging files. internet files are stored and retrieved from the second array.

Nice system. I have the exact same thing planned - I've already got the stacker, but am slowly gettings parts as the money comes in. I recently got the xp-120 heatsink, fan controller, vga silencer and dvd burner. Next on the cards are a window, 3 120mm UV LED fans, UV cold cathodes, and cable sleeving. Maybe some UV molex connectors... Not sure.

 

[SilverBack]

Cool
you'll love the case, plenty big enough for just about anything you might want to do with it

 

[stevennoland]

Silverback,

I was wondering if you had concidered the Lian Li PC-V series for your rig? What ultimately streered you to the stacker?

 

[Ariste]

Very nice My soon-to-be setup will be very similar, except I'm a whimp and will have the radiator mounted externally Since it will be my first build, I don't really want to get into cutting up a $160 case. Dual reservoirs... very nice I'll hopefully post some pics of my rig when it's finished... hopefully it'll be as nice as yours

I liked the idea of the 4-in-3 units.
It also looked like an easy case to mod.

me likey

nice job on the different colored dyes and sweet system

 

[Wahsapa]

sweet rig :thumbsup:

how did you mount the dual rad? does it just sit there? the rear rad also, did it just bolt on easy as pie to the outside? but you had to cut a whole for tubing for sure.

how are the pumps working out? slick job fitting them there :thumbsup: i noticed the power cords creeping along side the dual to the outside, you cut a hole?

the stacker is sweet.

Thanks all.
In the bottom of the stacker is a removable mesh screen. I took that out and drilled the holes for the radiator. Not a perfect fit, but it's very good. At the back of the case you'll see about a 1/2 gap in the floor.
Dual pumps work great, yup the cords are threaded around the back of the radiator. I didn't have to drill any holes. THe stacker has a removeable backplate I just moved it and installed the lines , then put it back.

awesome job...looks very clean!
