Project Log: Hybrid Twist - Page 2

**magnethead** · 01-21-2008, 04:53 PM

so i've come to find out the big boy 200 is actually a circular fan with an oval housing- 8" by 9". So to make up for that and still stay within size limitations, i'm going to knock out a 5.25 drive bay and put the fan controller with the rest of the group, above the 120mm fan. I'll save an inch and a half doing that and use an extra inch in fan size- so i'll still come out ahead.

Force said over on his build he's running 31C with a moderately warm room. Right now in my 900 i'm pulling 31 with about 71 degree room.

I don't think i'm gonna put this system in the new case, i'm gonna make sure it doesnt short using a tester board, then i'll see bout putting something decent in.I might throw this system in it for like an hour or 2 just to see how much cooler it might run.

Not bad for a jigsaw with a wood blade, eh? Couldn't find the die-grinder, it's in the shop somewhere with a metal blade in it but i dont know where..otherwise the cuts would be alot cleaner and it wouldnt have taken half an hour to make a couple of cuts.

**magnethead** · 01-22-2008, 06:34 PM

well its 20 degrees here in texas and i just got done cutting some of the parts.

**magnethead** · 01-22-2008, 09:13 PM

ok, so here's the report. Apparently space as reported in CAD doesn't always support the real thing. So i'm cutting it back to TWO 5.25 bays. Where does the fan contoller go then, you ask? Well, i'm going to move the 120mm intake fan off center a little to accomodate the 3.5" I/O plate, put the power switch opposite the 120 mm fan, and put the fan controller on the top (where the I/O's are on the 900).

I don;t know how well the lines can be seen, so i just shot away. The side panel slides are TIGHT- i'm gonna have to sand them down a good bit.

almost RTR with an hour left to work on it. Gonna go out to the shop now and knock out the holes for the rear fan, I/O plate, and PCI slots

forcifer · 01-23-2008, 04:01 PM

nice :) with PCI and IO, its much easier to just knock out blocks then to try to get every single little slot and have all of them line up perfectly. just a hint

**magnethead** · 01-23-2008, 04:04 PM

It runs!

forcifer · 01-23-2008, 04:17 PM

looking good :) that fan is awesome....link please?

**magnethead** · 01-23-2008, 04:30 PM

the fans a logisys i got off ebay (thermalmaster was seller). Hole aint bad for being jigsawed, huh? Our biggest hole saw is a 3.5.

here we go-

Very nice. Just one question - why all that cooling if you are only going to run a slot 1 Pentium II processor?

that's just the starter system to make sure it works ;)

The system i have lined out for it actually exceeds this system on paper.....

1 g0t 0wn3d · 01-23-2008, 08:58 PM

lol i have 5 fans on a 733 mhz sis cpu its runs at room temp lol

**magnethead** · 01-24-2008, 06:08 PM

well all 4 slot 1 motherboard apparently dont feel like working (got 3 ram sticks, 2 processors, and 4 boards- you'da thunk of all those combinations somethign woulda worked) so we wont know how well it works till i get the fans in, which i first must purchase.

Here's the system i intend on putting in it. Kinda staying cheap but functionall since it'll be an R&D/internet machine.

just going to make sure that you know that the proc wont come with a hsf

**magnethead** · 01-25-2008, 11:08 AM

AMD doesnt package theirs with HSF's like intel? That's lousy?
