PC building has gotten a bit boring recently hasnt it?

You guy some bits, slap some waterblocks on, try and do some fancy hardline shenanigans to make it stand out and call it a day.

Last year I was taking a tour of a data center who are experimenting with single-phase immersion cooling. And, being someone who has quite a lot of experience with building tanks, ponds, filters etc, decided that my next rig was going to done the same.

Why? Because why not. And its cool.

After hunting around for months, and looking at building my own case, I decided to cut out a lot of the donkey work I will modify an existing case on the market. It needed a few requirements.

  • Mostly box shaped
  • Separate chambers
  • Rotated motherboard layout.
  • Solid construction

Eventually, settled on a Tower 900.

The layout of this case is as close to perfect as you can get without a custom built solution.

So, case ordered. And wait for it to turn up.

So with the case here, first thing is to break it down to remove various obsticles and un-needed parts.

Fortunately it used easy to drill out rivets.

Which I could then transfer to some 5mm thick alooominum as the mericans call it.

So far only the base plate has been made, this is because it will be the main load bearing point for everything else, so I need to ensure that gets settled into place securely and strongly to take all my other measurements from.
