Lights out!
And there you have it.
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 ? .
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).

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???
therufus, that 1 COOL setup you`ve got. Nice.
Blown Humax 5400Z, Strong SRT 4658X, Strong 4663X and DM 518.
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.
How quickly things date. This crap is all obsolete now
I misread the title ... thought you said "My New Breasts" ... oh well ... nice pics anyway
My server appears to have a faulty CPU water block. My mainboard was swimming
Air cooled until the replacement arrives.
Confuscious say:
Water + PC = trouble one day
What cases are those?
ive got one of these cases housing my server
bloody great
lots of hard disk storage
its a beast can fit in heaps and heaps of gear
excellent cooling
i couldnt be happier with it
stock fans are a bit noisy though... wouldnt want to keep it inside the hhouse
