since i got a lot of old hardware at home as many others, ive decided to put it all together so i can get some use of my old IDE harddrives.

i have some simple plans to put this together but i aint gonna use a lot of money, ive sold my soul to my mother (moving horse**** from barn to field :/) just to get this:

im gonna use this because its gonna be very compact and not giving off a lot of heat since its old hardware.

specs:

something something MB
amd athlon 2.4 ghz
512 mb ram
geforce 4 TI 4200

hdd:
200 gb
160 gb
80 gb
xxx gb

to give you an impresion of how much im actually gonna stuff in this ive made this:

all i actually need is some tubes, a rad (since om not gonna use my extra dual 120 rad), and some fluid.

im thinking of a few ideas on how to wrap it together but still working on it, basicly, im going to put PSU in one "box" in the bottom, and res/pump and dvd-rom in another, and put the MB etc on top. still not sure how to integrate the hdd´s and rad:/... but ill figur it out

comments and suggestions are very velcome im counting on ordering the res/pump today, and ill think about getting a cheap rad. (if anyone from denmark inhere has a cheap rad they dont use please pm me)

another pic just to show some more detailed sketches

comments anyone?

looks good dude, heres hoping you do a AMASING build

[p0Pe]

still working on sketches, playing a bit with trying to to the bottom in acryl red if i can get my hands on it... maybe frosted

If u can't get frosted red you can do it yourself with a bit of wet sand sandpaper, a lot cheaper to do than using pre-frosted acrylic. I like your design by the way, hope it turns out for ya.

thx all

what do you think of this?, ive put the rad in one of the bottoms, (120 mm) and layid harddrives on top of each other, i may have to go for 3 harddrives only, since i can get more space between and will only have to leed 1 power cable downthere (since most psu goes with 3 molex pr. cable

(the image looks like sh## if you dont watch it in full res:p)

EDIT:
ive put a dual 120 mm rad in for comparison... as you can see its friggin big :S thats why ill have to get a single 120:/.. only have dual 120 lying around

comments?

Nice design, I like it. The loop looks good ans so does the way you have set out your components.

[p0Pe]

yea... but what about 3 or 4 drives?... i could fit 4 inthere, but think that 3 will be better?

[The boy 4rm oz]

I would probably say 3 cos you will have better airflow between them meaning cooler temps. If you want to go 4 and only have 3 molex plugs on the daisy chain just use a molex splitter to get your 4th plug.

yeah could do that... but as you say ill probertly only go with 3... since thats also what i have at my disposal atm, and the projekt is a scrapheap:p... so ill just dump all the old things i have in itxD
