I think i build the box when I was 16 and since then as ive upgraded the PC components the watercooling bits have to be upgraded too, fatter pipes and faster pump along with a bigger heatercore.

 

Next upgrade will be for Halflife 3, currently the things just a fileserver for my PS3 etc, its on all the time so needs to be silent which it nearly is.

 

Pretty knarly fan bus and light controller at the front that I made years ago too, replaced with a fancy touch screen one now as eventually it failed but by then the mainstream was making units simular.

Heres the wind tunnel which cools the rad - before I remounted and sealed it all up again.

Bit of a beast, you can tell I was 16 when I made it

No more PC content I promise, just felt bad after the lack of pics recently and the depressive nature of my posts.

at least the cars more or less sorted now and nice looking computer :)

Need to do water cooling on my PC as it doesnt get enough air where it is but I havent worried about it asI havent used it in a while due to motherboard frying and not needing to use it so just using my laptop.

I'd be interested in some before pics of the sills, I don't recall them that bad....

 

No they weren't, when i first bought the car home and went to quik fit to swap the rubber round it gave me a chance to have a look, they weren't alarmingly bad that's all I can say.

 

The drivers side has a hole and is like shortbread now the other side ain't too bad but might as well replace both, I'm in for the long run here, future proofing I guess.

 

My mechanic took pics so I'll see if he'll send them to me tomorrow, see if he can take some more during the process as well so I have some stuff to show everyone, I don't have any PC pics left :)

 

But yeh, sure thin I'll sort some pics, hopefully by midweek.

I know alot of people are haters when it comes to loud colour'd calipers but I love it, I cant wait to fit with the blue hose kit too, its gonna look so obnoxious!

 

Thank you SLEEMAN!
