August 24, 201015 yr Author Thank you! Everything was put together using old cases, wiring, ect. so that this project pretty much cost nothing but about 5-6 hours setup install, caulk and painting. The hardest part was mounting and caulking the case in the cutout, and filling my custom radiator/getting the air out (note the hand pump in the water cooling). I was very happy with the outcome!If any of you were wondering about cpu specs...3.33 ghz e8600 e0 stepping o.c. to 4.5ghz stable. (1.312 v) Was able to boot 4.87, but doesn't prime.gtx 285, zotac amp edition. core 702; shaders 1512; memory 1296 (stock)4 gb ram 1066 ddr 2; 5-5-5-15 26 2T700watt psu5 hhd (1 80gb C:, 3 80's stripped for programs/games, 1 2tb storage drive)p5n72-t premium, left voltages at auto/stock settings, 10x multiplier, 1800 fsb.Not the latest and greatest, but good for me. Waiting for better pricing/newer tech before I rebuild.

August 24, 201015 yr That is some serious overclock, man. The water cooling is doing it's job good.But couldn't you make one big box for all your hardware? Wood and metal are pretty easy to work with, if you have tools of course.
