My new beasts

**therufus** · 13-01-08, 09:00 AM

I posted these on the old forum before the Christmas meltdown. Thought I'd put 'em back on:

Server
AMD X2 BE2300
2Gb Corsair RAM
2x1Tb Western Digital HDD's
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
7300GS VGA Card
Antec Phantom500 Silent PSU
Thermaltake Bigwater745 Watercooling system
Ubuntu Linux OS

Workstation
AMD X2 6000
2Gb Corsair RAM (Dominator 1066MHz)
320 Western Digital HDD
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
2xXpertVision 8800GT 512Mb in SLI
Antec HE-500w PSU
Pioneer DVDRW
Card reader
Thermaltake Bigwater745 Watercooling system
Windows XP, Vista and Ubuntu triple-boot OS's

The back with the 2 8800GT's

Bridged into SLI brilliance

Mmm, sexy!

Getting the watercooling block on

**therufus** · 13-01-08, 09:03 AM

Just before the video cards went in and before the watercooling stuff got installed (note the beautiful cable management)

Dominator 1066MHz RAM!

The server just before putting the last of the watercooling hoses in

1Tb, RAID 1

**therufus** · 13-01-08, 09:04 AM

In the rack at last

Holy 60Kg of PC batman!

Server completed

First liquid cooling installation for me and no leaks!

Lights out!

And there you have it.

**bulbous** · 13-01-08, 09:46 AM

That's a beautiful piece of work - but I see greasy fingerprints on some shiny surfaces. For this you must lose points ! .

Do you do anything about dust/lint filtering ? It doesn't take long for an ugly dust accumulation to make a mess.

It's all very nice, can I have it please ? .

**therufus** · 13-01-08, 08:56 PM

Yea, the fingerprints are a little bit of a letdown. Unfortunately, I tried getting them off but they're stubborn. I couldn't be bothered in the end.

And no, you can't have them. They're all mine

Oh, and as far as dust filtering goes, there are no case fans to suck dust in. There are only 3 fans inside the workstation, 2 for the vga cards and one in the psu. The server has no fans at all (the Antec Phantom has a fan in it but it only kicks in if the temperature hits around 60c, but it never does).

**Jalorathis** · 13-01-08, 10:02 PM

With my system here i couldnt stand having 2 hoses running out the back of my computer so i mounted the big 745 radiator in the front drive bays (Thermaltake Armor so has quite a few). I am planning in future to move it to the bottom of the case.

In your situation this is probably no issue what so ever as you have them in a rack.

How hot do the video cards get with little to no cool air being moved into the case?.

Perhaps water cool them as well. but i suppose they arent the most power hungry cards those so probably run quite cool.

i had that mobo few moths ago when they come out max overclock with x4200 was 2.8ghz stable.

overclock pics???

**Min** · 14-01-08, 06:32 AM

therufus, that 1 COOL setup you`ve got. Nice.

**therufus** · 15-01-08, 09:28 AM

The vga cards can get a little warm. After 2 hours of HL2:2, they're at 82/87c but the fans aren't going hard so it must be okay. 3DMark06 gives me 9900 in normal mode and 11000 in SLI. No overclocking yet, but respectable results all the same.

**therufus** · 24-08-08, 11:26 PM

How quickly things date. This crap is all obsolete now

**AussieM8** · 25-08-08, 01:13 AM

I misread the title ... thought you said "My New Breasts" ... oh well ... nice pics anyway

**therufus** · 11-10-08, 07:14 PM

My server appears to have a faulty CPU water block. My mainboard was swimming

Air cooled until the replacement arrives.

They are Antec Take4 chassis. The exact ones I have are no longer in production, but the virtually identical ones available are now more black.
