Re: Need a design
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!

Re: Need a design
If its to be entirely original, then surely seeking external input rather obviates the fundamentals?
Or to simplify it - DOH

Re: Need a design
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

Re: Need a design
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.
