So, if you couldn't tell, I'm a big fan of 28 Days Later ( imdb ). That's what my avatar is ( still need to fix it some more ), and its also my background ( see the attached pic ).
Now try to imagine that background, only as the theme for my computer. I absolutely love the saying, and its in the movie at some point ( Edit: 13:42-14ish ). I have the unedited version if someone wants it, although it's probably still on the site.
ANYWAY! Computer stuffs!
So I'll be taking the first rig in my sig ( R.I.M.S.? ) and putting it all in a Lian-Li PC-G70B. Then I'll add in a water cooling loop consisting of a Thermochill PA 120.3, MCP-655B, Apogee GT, MCW-60, MicroRES, tubing, and a bunch of panaflos! The one connected to the TV will go into my current case ( a TT Swing, not too bad, but a little small for the current project ). The case will have a window so a couple of CCFLs ( red ) are in order, along with a UV one.
Why UV you ask? To kill the infected of course...ok, so I'll be using Fluid XP -EXT SuperWhizbang or whatever the latest incarnation is, since they have a "Blood Red" UV reactive flavor. I'll dilute it with some DI water. I'll also be putting a biohazard etching type sticker on the window, then the message from the background on the window with UV paint, so that you can only see it with the UV CCFL on. I'm hoping that you won't be able to see the bio symbol quite as much with the UV on only, but we shall see ( or not, depending ).
The rest of the case gets a black spray painting ( flat me-thinks, although a better artist can probably convince me otherwise ), and black cables for the most part. I'll attend to the sleeving of the squid PSU at a later point. The rad will go into the bottom of the case, along with the pump, with the res above the pump and rad ( alongside the HDD rack kinda ).
And towards the end of this I'll throw in an 8800 GTsomething ( still deciding, although leaning towards the GTX with a step-up )
Here's a quick part list:
Lian-Li PC-G70B
Thermochill PA 120.3
MCP-655B
4x Panaflo Ultras
Sunbeam Rheostat
Apogee GT
MicroRES
Tubing ( Tygon for the final build, some cheap stuff to figure out the bends and such )
Fluid-XP
MCW-60
DI Water
Worm Drive Clamps
DD Fill port ( tube to the top so I can fill it without taking the case apart, this unnecessary? )
I'll post some pics of the rig to go into the wonderful case as soon as I post this and then I'll edit them in ( gotta finish writing this or it won't get done! ).
Rig 1 is the one in the case, and the HTPC is obviously the other one ( a shame the PCP&C wouldn't fit in the Swing )
Also, how do you get the line lengths slightly smaller? It looks so ugly written this way. Same with the pics, this is an ugly post
