Need a design
 

Hey guys, im gonna start a mod soon, and I want a design thats original, really original, but I dont have any ideas. Its all gonna be w/c'ed and o/c'ed. in a lian li pc 61 laser cut with a custom enclosure for the water cooling bits. Can you get me some ideas please.

It was only when I hit the bit about water cooling that I realised what he was going on about and figured out what o/c'ed and w/c'ed meant! :D

If its to be entirely original, then surely seeking external input rather obviates the fundamentals?

Or to simplify it - DOH

these all have itx mobos, but some of the designs are absolutely amazing! if you did something like this with an atx board i would be well impressed!!

What sort of budget do you have?

he wants to do a modified computer case with water cooling and an overclocked system :)

Thats it - budget is the key here, but also - i would suggest that you seriously concider what you want at the end of the day. Do you want a fast PC or a Fast and the Furious PC?

The Lain Li cases are excellent, i have one myself and its well smart, but i had to cut and move a lot of stuff in my case to get my W/C in - however - i now have a pretty quiet and smart looking aluminium case. No windows or stuff like that so the looks of the innards are inconsequential to me, but i have seen people with Orange fans, and cable wraps / neon lights etc. Which are actually releatively cheap to buy.

If you want to O/C then you also need to concider what companents are right for you. Currently the chip to have for O/C is the Barton Core Amd 2500+ MOBILE chip. These will go in any current AMD motherboard thats worth its salt (the Abit N7F or the Asus Boards are a good start) and with decent cooling will reach about 2600Mhz. (A 3200+ runs at 2200 MHz for comparison). Not only is this a good chip its exceptionally cheap for the O/C your going to get.

a key factor in OC'ing is your ram...the faster the better...good to start on PC3200 also remember a cpu running a low multiplyer but a high FSB will be faster than one at the same speed running a high multiplyer and a low FSB

Yup - agreed.

And while were at it A GOOD POWER SUPPLY!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how often thats overlooked.

OK the space thing is not an issue I am getting a seperate box made just for it, the design is going to be very hard and the budget is about£5 00 for the case 150 is just for cutting

Re: Need a design
 

Well, i saw this guy recently on a forum who was building an awesome looking system (and still is) from a Lian Li case and a Vapochill, you would get some really good pointers from him. Trouble is that the link to the site is on my work PC and im not back there until monday - i will post the link then.

Well smart though.

As for a Side Panel design, i would suggest looking for Icons or Avitars on forums for stuff which takes your fancy, getting something "cut" though is going to be your problem as its no easy task.

Here you go - its very long but im sure you will get some great ideas.
