Final Pictures!
Heaven & Hell by Tinytomlogan
Now I'm running 2 reservoirs - one for return and one for pump feed with a join in between - and there's not much room at the top of the case so hosing it was a nightmare. This is the best I've been able to get it, can't really think of it any other way?
Tinkering again!
My First Custom Case by Hexsys
I got the lighting installed and everything else, but I was bored as I had nothing left to do. So I decided to change my graphics card. I sold the 8800 Ultra and EK waterblock and have bought a 9800GX2. I have never tried an SLi setup and was curious enough to give it a go. As I have an Asus P5K, a 9800GX2 was the only way to go..
First thoughts.
My First PC Case. by Angelic
Perspective viewThe Hole. So i've had a teensy bit more thought put into this project. The space i've got for the case measures 18x17.2x10". Which is the size of a small case on it's side. Which is a good thing. I've decided to base the design on my old case - it fits nearly perfectly into the enclosure. I think it'd be much..

Building with Acrylic: A SFF excursion by Syrillian
“Thank you” to the individual that sorted out the image issue. Please bear with me as I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks. Safety is once again paramount. I forgot to mention in my last post that loose clothing, dangly jewelry, and long hair can be quite dangerous. Dressing and coifing appropriately will see you through the day with all your digits, limbs and scalp still in..

The Best laid plans....
ScratchPatch by Thepetcat
I've pulled the base out from under my PC, and now it's in the garage, waiting for all the mayhem to begin. I stripped off it's plastic, white unberbelly and it is now placed belly up compared to how it has been for the last few years. The plan is to build it, so that what was the top of the base, is now the top of the desk. After a..
Shafted on the TV card, PSU/CPU problems... and finally some pictures!
My 1st custom built PC by Thewelshbrummie
Plenty to talk about in this update. It appears that my TV card isn't twin digital at all.... I'll start by pointing to the forum topic about a recommendation for a dual-DVB-T TV card... I immediately recommended my twin-tuner Compro card. Now I've never used the card to record one digital channel while recording a 2nd, so it came as a surprise when the responses said that it might not be a..
Virgin Build
First build by Aremjay
Thanks to all for all the advice. The build has started and most of the stuff is bought. I've gone for: a Pnong II ATX case (as I mentioned previously); iCute 1000w PSU; Asus P5K Premiun WiFi mobo; Asus EN8800GT graphics with 1Gb DDR3; 2 x Samsung Spinpoint 750 GB hard drives and a pair of DVD re-writers, one litescribe and the other an "all format". Routing the cables is..
Half-Inch Upgrade
Custom Water Cooling by Gryphon
After spending so much time on making a custom water cooling system i was a bit dissapointed that it looked so booring, thanks to the small, black tubing i had used... i decided it should look the part even if the temps aren't brilliant. Another order to WaterCooling UK (thanks for the 10% discound, CPC :P) and the next day ive got some proper tubing, coils and water additives. (in my..
