To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel Core2Quad Q9550
Zotac Geforce 9300 ITX Mobo
4GB DDR2 1066 Kingston
Sapphire 4870x2 2GB
2xIntel 80GB SSD
EK Supreme LT 775/1366 Water block
Koolance 4870X2 Waterblock
Liang DDC 12V Pump

Custom Acrylic Case

Mods:
Custom Built Acrylic Case (by hand, no milling machines or laser cutters used),
Custom Water Cooling,
Custom Built 1000W Power Supply(using 2 electrically modified 500W PSUs)

I wanted to attempt to build the smallest water cooled LAN box possible, think at 10400cc, I nailed it!!! The system temps are around 30 degrees celsius at idle and 45 degress celcius at load.
Hope to build a much smaller one (7000cc) soon!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

Any ideas where I can get the THINNEST 120.3 radiator possible?

Very nice and exact!

very clean, clever tube routing and placement of lc components. Liquid cooling Sokoban

Only thin ad that is good is a swifty mcr 320

im not sure how thin it needs to be but have you looked at hw labs black ice stealth radiators ? those are about as thin as it comes. if you need something even thinner than that i'd recommend looking at oil heater cores in your local automotive shop to find something with the same length as 3x120

Thanks, I checked them out, they come in at 34mm which is 2mm thicker than what I already have.

I was looking for a radiator under 30mm. Automative oil heater cores are thin? I didn't know that...will certainly check the auto garage nearby, thanks.
