Case is going to recycling hopefully within a week. It's an old ( formerly beige and heavily modded ) 24" tall by 7.5" wide server tower.
Swapping into a custom art-deco type industrial looking project case, which will have no fans, completely passive cooling. Modded case is Coolermaster Elite100 Matx/Itx. Got one of the last few Scythe Orochi CPU heatsinks that I could find. The thing is a monster. Something like a kilogram. ( 2+ lbs ). Also going to use a Thermalright HR-05 High Riser Northbridge cooler, 20 Enzotech MOS-C1 solid copper mosfet heatsinks and other assorted stuff. Have a slightly modded an FSP ZEN400 passive PSU ( just a giant heatsink no fan ) for this build. Removed the blue anodizing with SuperClean de-greaser and had it professionally polished, painted the housing black, replaced the thermal paste on the heatsink interfaces with Arctic Cooling MX-3 ( took a whole tube) with a riveted wallmount bracket on the backside. I'm sweating bullets because I never tried it before I modded it .... oh well. I'll find out soon enough. At least there's no extra screws lying around... If it's a dud that will give me an excuse to get a newer passive Seasonic PSU.
that's that.
oops also have an old ASUS A7N8X board with a cherry picked Barton Core Athlon Mobile ( yep LAPTOP CHIP ) 2800+ cooled by a 120mm Scythe S-Flex on a Thermaltake Volcano Heatsink, an EVGA 7600GT SC with an Accelero VGA cooler, 80 gb Seagate IDE, Soundblaster Audigy2 card. Has too much nostalgia for me to get rid of it. Good as an emulator and Flatout 2 , have to have Flatout2. That's the Windows XP box.
jeeze also have a few AGP Vidcards and an old DFI KT400A board and another A7N8X I forgot about and some other Bartons with great stepping codes. I need to drop that stuff into a scrap bin at work.
I use it for 3d modeling and animation
