LOL I was 50-50 on a new case, but the Lian Li has been left dumped and I needed an excuse to use it.
That said, I still dont actully know if a Water / AIO setup actualy exists for the G34 anyway, and so a new case is not solving anything unless I know if one exists?
The Case its in right now, is perfectly fine for my cuirrent setup.
I have been toying about with a few options, I have also been considering making my own Heatsink block if need be, I have made my own heatsinks before so its not a big deal for me to do it. I think the only limit I will have this time is that because the cards go right over it, and the gap is so thin, that I think the thickness of the Heatsick cannot be more than about 10mm ( Not measured - its a guess ) then I may need to do some fancy heatpipe work and have a rad at a 90 degree angle that goes above the VGA card perhaps, or even have them water cooled too? - I dunno?
Right now, the whole setup is inside the Lian Li case ( with only the bare stuff to run it for testing ) and I have added an old cooler thingy that take 2x80mm fans and blows air directly onto the PSI cards, and what I have done with that, certainly seems to have helped because the heatsink temp has plummeted. The Mobo has more fan headers than I have EVER seen in a Mobo before, and so thats them kind of solved really... It should be just fine once its setup as a server and just dumped in another room as I am using VNC to talk to it as and when ( or I will be doing when its setup of course ) and so...
Anyway, modding the Armor?
What did you do? Break the perspex? I have done that a few times, and the local DIY shop simply helps me out with more Perspex! - problem sovled! - Nothing that a bit of patience and a dremmel wont cure and cut out a new bit of perspex and you're laughing.
Just remember to use a bit of tape around where you are going to drill the holes of teh screws and use a tiny drill bit first to pilot the hole and then se a bigger drill and then it wont crack and your laughing.
I have never worried a jot about breaking any glass. I have done in the past, but its so easy to fix if you need to, that I have never really worried about it anymore and thankfully I have not had to for years.
The only other mod I will be doing in the near future, is the Antec 900 and the Armor, while both are Black cases, I have a few mental images in my head of having them white, or at least part white and I think that will be a great idea.
Ok, I'm going off-topic now.
