I finally finished my totally home-built case and computer. I built it using scrap plywood, and salvaged parts from an old case. I have water cooling on the chipset, 9700 pro gpu, and cpu. The cpu also uses a 220watt pelt powered by the second psu. All using 1/2" tubing and a heatercore. My computer specs:
AMD Barton 2500+ unlocked desktop @ 2.3GHz, 1.78v, load 25C
Abit AN7 w/ watercooled NB chipset
watercooled ati 9700 pro @ 385/338 (is this good?)
512MB Dual Black Mushkin DDR500 @ DDR400 2-4-4-8 (might trade for 1GB DDR400)

great psu with those temps ya might be able to hit 2.5ghz with that chip, but 2.3ghz is already a great oc by the way nice mod
and on the video thats pretty good for a 9700pro
stick with the 512 ddr500 it gives great ocin options if nothing else you alway reduce the ram diver and get it close if not up to 500 speed which would give you greater bandwidth

What pump are you using?

thanks for the opinions. I am using a via 320, I think. It seems to be pushing enough water. Also, I cant seem to get the FSB above 200 no matter what multiplier I use. I have tried 1.9vCore, 1.8vDimm @ 3-4-4-8, 1.75vChipset, and a multiplier as low as 9, but anything above 200 won't run stable. dry.gif

ghetto-tastic! biggrin.gif

shame about the beige face-plates though... just get some Plastikote spray paint (or whatever you get near you, its like spray on plastic dye)

Nice job! You really should gloss that casing over heavily though... It looks TOO ghetto for such a nice build smile.gif

The overclock is stable and the equivalent of a ~3350+, so I will just leave it there. If I get greedy maybe I'll buy a mobile. I'll see what I can do to de-ghetto it, but right now I'm just happy it works. lol: did u see how my frontpanel connections are organized? just hanging out the empty 3 1/2 bays... oh well.
