Well this is an idea for my first project.
I have never done any real modding on a computer before but I know how to build one and
love to work with all kinds of art. So after lurking around this website for a little while and
seeing all of the great mods I decided it was almost time for me to build my own.
The title of this thread is its name and inspiration
As you might be able to tell it would be a small for factor build. Built using black plexiglass
and translucent orange plexiglass. The orange trim details and letters would be raised and
back lit. The fans on the side would be UV Orange A.C. Ryan Blackfires. They would have
black plexi grills covering them and would depict a shadow scene similar to the art found
on ancient greek pottery.
Most likely a scene with Pandora opening the box in the middle with whirlwinds releasing
as men run away.
The components I have thought about for it are
- DFI LP JR P45-T2RS w/ 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066
- E8600
- (4) 1TB Hard drives
- 1000w (or larger) psu
- and either 1 or 2 Radeon HD 4870 X2's
Probably just one X2 to begin with and add another one later since that motherboard
supports crossfire. The only thing Im wondering about is the airflow. It would have 3 intake
fans near the graphics cards blowing across the board with 3 exhaust fans above the cpu.
A style much like the NZXT Rogue.
Here is a pic with just properly sized boxes representing where the components would go
If anyone has suggestions or comments they would be greatly appreciated.
Especially any on possible airflow or heat problems.
