New build for my pop

[cadaveca]

My father-in-law asked for a watercooled pc. I gladly obliged him.

Components are as follows....

ASUS a7v8x-mx
AXP 2600+
2x512mb Vdata UTT @ DDR333 2-2-2-5
Thermaltake "BigWater" pre-made water cooling kit, including resivoir
Antec Super Lanboy
Thermaltake Butterfly 480w
Sony CDr/w
20gbHDD
Koolance CPU and chipset blocks

All my dad does is play freecell. No internet, no music, movies , or anything else. Just freecell. He might try something else, he says, when he has beaten each game there-in. This should keep him entertained until then.

Nice!
What was his reason for wanting water cooled?

Dunno...becasue it's !




Seriously tho, he's a fish guy...has a ton of expensive fish and all that, so he must like the sound of the running water. He also has had a pc die on him becasue of stuffing it into a small, cramped space, and it overheating. I'm pretty sure he wants to avoid this this time.

If he needs more power, from video, i'll get him a videocard tehn , but for now this should meet his needs. I'll get him on the internet before christmas(he has it in his house for his "kids", while it never really gets used, and i have a router laying around.

Won't be long before i have him folding...and then overclocking!

Well I say "go for it" then.

Nice build cadaveca. But...you do realise your mother-in-law will kill you for taking he husband away from her because he is playing with his new toy?

[cadaveca]

NO mother-in law at this point, so i think he's ok.


Load temp on the cpu will folding is 39c, idle 32c
Chipset temp 24 idle/26 load(onboard 3d).
