what happened to the car?
|
No $$$, + I could get a guitar and pimp out my computer or pay for EXPENSIVE gas, insurance, and try to learn stick shift....
So I Figured... when in Rome.... :) Plus watercooling a shuttle has rarely been done.. even on www.sfftech.com |
IT IS A SUCCESS, after much modding and sweating, I finally watercooled
my X800XT and my AMD 64 3000+ socket 939, with a Kingwin AWC-1 all inside a tiny shuttle!!! It is sooo quiet and beautiful, I can make the fans loud and work hard if im playing games, but its nearly silent. Pictures are coming sooon. |
don't leak!

The Real Deal
I actually had to drill holes into the bottom of the motherboard to mount
the CPU block properly. The shuttle FN95 board has P4 clips for some reason on a socket 939 board. I took out the clips, drilled 4 holes in the bottom, and mounted the CPU block appropriately. The VGA block was not hard to install at all. I took out the DVD burner at one point so the pump could actually fit inside the tiny shuttle rather than sit outside on top of the DVD burner. The project took about 4-5 hours. I actually leaked once, but that is because I failed to fill the reservoir properly. I fixed that quickly though. Now all components are super quiet and run smoothly. About 33C idle ~ 41C load temps while I play Counterstrike Source. |

|
