| New Project Idea help Ok I'm gonna start a new project soonfor my actually computer not that 98 that i couldnt even use. So i have some ideas the main colours are going to be green and black (maybe silver), so i'm thinking water cooled of course green fluid, i'm think the Thermaltake Aquabay M1 2U Liquid Level & Flow Indicator ( http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-aq...m1-liquid.html) for the reservoir. That is all depending on how many 5.25" drive bays there are in the case that I choose. And I have only one toi spare that this one Thermaltake Aquabay M3 1U Liquid Tank ( http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-aq...reservoir.html). And that brings me to the case i have one in mind the spider as i call it ( http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...294&CatId=1509), but if anybody else wants to suggest any case, preferably from http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...c.asp?CatId=32
any that are fairly cheap up to about $70 and are fairly simple and have lots of potential in the modding department.
Thanks. |

| Re: New Project Idea help http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-mcres-micro.html is a much better reservoir, it doesnt come with all of the bells and whistles but is over half the cost.
For a case, you get what you pay for...it is a good place to spend your extra money is you have it. If looks are what you are going for without a ton of moding. I've had cheap cases that just fall apart on me. It all depends on what you want to do with it. |

It only has a little more than half the capacity of the Thermaltake one that fits in the single 5.25. Personally, Im really liking that one... I might even switch over to WC for it.
Get a Thermaltake Armor case... but thats what I tell everyone cuz Im in love with mine  |

| Re: New Project Idea help I know I don't have many details for you because I'm still deciding on the case to get, but anyway back to the real reason for the reply I was wondering if you guys think I should go with like a red and black/dark grey colour scheme, or a green and black/dark grey scheme? |

| Re: New Project Idea help Ok so its been a while but now I have a real reason to do this. In September I'm going to college for 3D Animation, so naturally my 5500 FX isn't gonna cut it. I'm planning on getting a 9800 GTX. But having a uBTX motherboard the double slot design doesn't fit, so I have to get a new motherboard and case to fit that motherboard, so I've picked all the stuff out and I have to order it I chose that spider case (and the spider glows blue but I can swap the LED's)  I
linked to at the beginning. I still need ideas though mainly the shape for a window,and the color scheme. |

| Re: New Project Idea help Yeah it'll probably be green, red, or blue, and black, or dark gray.\\
EDIT: I'm planning on etching something into the window I'll update when I know what it is, in the meantime any suggestions would be good.
