Project FEAR - Walk through

Back


This is my rig called FEAR built to play the game, ya you guessed it F.E.A.R.

This Rig houses an Intel Quad Q6600 G0 SLACR CPU and ATI 2900XT Graphics Card.

The build took place inside the Thermal Take Lanbox Lite and also features a water cooling system inside to cool the Intel Quad so that it could be overclocked to 3.6ghz. The other hardware in this rig is;

PSU : OCZ GameXStream 1010w Power Supply
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-G33M-S2H LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Ram: SUPER TALENT 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
GPU: Radeon HD 2900 XT
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
DVD Drive: LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model LH-20A1L-06

Cooling:
Swiftech H20-120 Compact Water Cooling Kit
AlphaCool Cape Bullseye Internal / External Reservoir
Feser One - F1 - Cooling Fluid - UV BLACK / RED (custom mix)
All other hardware will be cooled with the stock cooling.

This rig had a lot of modifications done to the unit to be able to house the water cooling system.

i kinda new to water cooling. if i took the pc to someones house wobbleling the pc around will the water somehow get out ?

well sure if you do it the wrong way, if its done right, a leak would be the last thing on your mind. This is why I use say 7/16" tubing on 1/2" barbs, you have to boil the tube so it expands to fit over the barb and when it cools, it shrinks onto the barb making it a tight seal and well there is no way thats coming off. ^__^

oh as it states, that is the XBOX 360 HD-DVD Add-On Drive, you would buy that and plug it into your 360 so that you could watch HD-DVD movies, but in my case I hooked it up to my PC and used it as an HD-DVD Drive for the rig. :)

are you talking about the X-Box 360 HD-DVD Drive? if so thats what it is and then I painted it to go with the case but its been replaced a while back with a Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Drive.

Choice! Nice use of the Lanbox Lite.

yes I highly recommend a modular PSU to go with this case.
