motherboard replacement- DV6000

[Outlaw]

Yeah, It was the cheapest I could find with no shipping charge. It is just a piece of copper! It doesn't cost 6 bucks to ship. lol

Shim eta- 10/26-11/2 (asdlkad lol)
HSF- 10/18-10/24
Ribbons- 10/19-10/25
Mobo- 10/18-10/19

And of course the 1 part I MUST have before turning on is going to take the longest to get here. If anything, I will use the recommended penny to test that it works for return policy.

I got all the laptop pics necessary, just need to work on cooler. Maybe after some sleep.

EDIT::: Oh and hopefully this board works. I accidentally ordered the "wrong" one through my phone... wonderful fat fingers. It's the 449902-001, and from what I understand, its the same board as the original one I wanted with the 8400m but accepts faster fsb/ram. Hopefully this will be an OK mistake.

I agree im pooped too lol, catch ya later, can always send me a pm if you got any questions or what not, I don't know everything but I can always do my best or just post it here and let the general audience figure it all out lol

[Outlaw]

Well.. here is a very rough sketch done with paint. I think it covers the big stuff.

Like how the MoBo is above the WC system!

Thanks! One of the things I wasn't sure of was where the pump should be in the loop. In the pic it comes after the RAD. The Loop is: RES>RAD>PUMP>CPU>GPU>RES

I wish I had skills in sketchup or the like for a much more detailed draft.

Here would be a possible candidate for temp sensors. http://www.xoxide.com/blue-lcd-temp-sensor.html

looks pretty good! only two suggestions I could think of: maybe put some curve in the bottom, or something to allow airflow to both sides of the rad, would help keep things cool, and maybe find a way to mount a small fan controller on the side, so you can turn the fans down if you're not doing anything huge im using two of these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10...MS6k&mv_pc=308 but I may be able to condense it down to one and send you the spare, if you want one to work with when you get that far, it works really well

[Outlaw]

That would be nice If I go manual controls. And if I do, that part would be handy. I was debating on wiring the rad fans to the mobo controlled header and let it do the rpms as needed. 2 80's shouldn't draw too much juice I don't think, but the manual control would remove all the "burn out" possibilities.

With 3 headers on that controller, I could even add a third (or 2 wired to 1 header) fan to maybe the side/s under the 'USB' instead of the bottom to allow an intake. Then it wouldn't matter the surface it's set on.

Depending on the size of this pad, I think I would try to mount the rheo facing up for easier control and less chance of snag if set on a blanket or on its side for fill/drain. Donno though, just a thought.

Any thought on speaker addition?

Thanks!

Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about speakers lol, only thing I could think of would be cracking open a cheap pair of speakers and mounting the insides into the pad, probably not a very elegant solution lol

[Aldersan]

Also what areyou planning on making the cooler out of? I was thinking probably aluminum, but acrylic could look pretty sweet too, then you could show off your hard work inside :p

[Outlaw]

Yeah, I wasn't sure on the speakers either yet. Just messing with the idea.

I was looking at aluminum. There is a 19.5"x19.5"x1mm anodized on frozencpu. I could maybe do both. Alum frame with acrylic window? The alum would help keep it sturdy and not look so bad when scratched.
