| Just an idea I tried.. it's not a build thread. Maybe this has been done before, maybe it hasn't.
Too long has the right side of the box been ignored. Too long have we referred to it as the "other side" or even the "dumb side". Okay... before I start taking civil rights speeches out of context and offend someone, here's the pics of what coffee made me do tonight.
The case is a Chieftec (Antec knockoff) The heater core is made for a 80's Mustang. I'm not so great with plumbing, so I'm going to pay a radiator shop $20 or so to put the ½" barbs on it for me. I removed one of the Hard drive bays to allow for a very large 220v fan that I will be running at 110v to make it absolutely silent. It will run constant. If it isnt enough, I'll put a 120mm delta on it instead. I'm sure the 170mm AC fan will do it though. I'm plannign to decap, and possibly direct die cool my aging 3800 x2 939, so getting a water case set up seems like a good idea.
The heater core is a snug fit in the hole I cut, I'm thinking the shroud should be it's only attachment to keep things simple. The heater core does not block the side panel. It stops about 2-3 mm short of touching it.
What do you guys think of a outdoor fountain pump for it? The little grey 525 GPH ones.
Disclaimer: No beers were harmed in the cutting of this box.
