2 120mm Titan Aluminum Fram Fans


2 80cm UV Fans


1 80cm 4 Color LED Fan (adjustable speed)


AeroPower II+ 550W Power Supply - Damn this thing is shiny! Don't know what it looks like running though, as no motherboard to test it on!



ZalMan ZM-MFC1 Fan Speed Controller - I'll be modding this a bit though, might replace the front with the old drive bay cover & color code it & also the 2 switches, will change them & use them to turn the case lights on or off


I thought I'd see what the UV & LED Fans looked like while there on, so dug out an old AT power supply & ave them a test, and I was impressed! The UV ones are nice & bright, I thought they would be quite dull, but there not, and the LED one isn't too overpowering either, so its a nice balance!

there be no fan or heatsink going on the processor!

the 2 aluminum fans are for the rad which will cool water inside the case, this is then fed to waterblocks on the CPU, motherboard, graphics, and harddrive, so cooling them all a hell of alot better than any fan or heatsink would!

this will then let me overclock the system to stupid speeds!

the other 80mm case fans are to aid air circulation so there isn't that much warm air inside the case, again this will help cool the water!

I'd be interested in how the alu 120mm's sound when running. I replaced the 120mm in my rackmount with a 120mm vantec one, and its lovely well compared to the old one

The 120mm fans will be running @ 7volts, so will be half the speed as normal, there only 29dba per fan on full speed!

The PSU was a smidged under £80!

Managed to get the PSU to work now aswell, was just a case of pluggin it in, then bridging 2 points on the ATX connector (green wire & any black wire), that tricks it to think its plugged into a mobo!

Ok not the greatest pics, but ones in the dark never are!





Mmmmmmmm Blue!!

£80! I would have jutt got a QTEC 550w for £25 and stuck a blue led fan in there

The QTEC's are brill power supplies, got em running 2 Athlon XP 3200+ machines ive recently built.

Nice looking too
