Water Cooled


While every one has their own version of “perfect”, I have a version of Awesome. This is my PC. It is a liquid cooled, yes you read that right LIQUID COOLED system. How you ask well just look. It has the same thing your car / truck has to cool the engine. It has a pump, reservoir, tubing, water block, and radiators with fans. It is a closed system using non-conductive liquid. For those just in case there is a leak it will not conduct electricity and fry the system or anything else. All the other parts to the computer include a GForce video card with 256MB on board DDR2 Memory 8x AGP, 1.25Gig of DDR2 RAM, three Hard Drives, one SATA 120 GB, one EIDE 250 GB, and one EIDE 100 GB drives. One PCI 128 Bit Creative Labs 5.1 Sound card, one PCI Fire Wire (IEEE 1493) card with two external and one internal ports. One USB 2.0 PCI expansion card with two extra ports. Two optical drives, one is a 16x DVD +\- RW and the other is a 52x48X52 CD / RW drive. The processor is a AMD Atholon XP 2400 2.0 GHz that is over clocked (hence the water cooling). All in all it is a sweet box for me. I do have plans to make a new one. I do not have pics of any of it but it is a plan in the making. Here is the low down on what I am looking to make it with.

1 x P4 3.4 GHz Dual Core Processor

1 x Intel D945 GNTLR LGA775 Main board w/ Gig Ethernet

1 x EVGA PCI-E GeForce 7300 256MB Video card

1 x 16x DVD +\- RW Dual Layer

2 x 1 GB DDR2 PC4200 RAM for a total of 2GB RAM

1 x (maybe I will go for two) SATA 7200 RPM 250GB Hard Drive

1 x 600 or 650 Watt Power Supply

That is going to be one heck of a system. So when I ever get the chance to build it I will include a picture of it. For now though here is my current box. Enjoy.
