Yet another of my computer cases.
It has over $200 of clear cast acrylic. Even the internal slide out drive tray is made of acrylic. It consists of 4 stackable layers with overall dimensions of 14" x 12" x 26"
The thing runs whisper quiet as it has a 10" fan mounted between the top two layers blowing up. It has 4 smaller fans pointing in creating a positive air flow. Each intake fan has a filter to keep the dust at bay.
The CPU runs at a Quad 4Ghz and is rock solid It runs non stop 24/7. The CPU is water cooled and has an external outrigger (Also made of clear Acrylic) radiator that works much like a cars radiator. On the upper layer main pump and fluid resivore.
All the fans are controlled by a dynamic 4 channel temperature vs speed fan controller. It also monitors the Pump and sounds an alarm if any fan or pump fails.
The Lower compartment supports 6 hard drives as well as a removable for booting.
The bigest heat generator is the graphics card which is a GTX295. This is actualy a Dual GTX280 on a single card. At one point I had three of these cards mounted in the system running Tripple SLI. Thats 6 Grapic Cores.
Its all powered by a 1000Watt Powersupply thats soo heavy it would break the acrulic if not for the acrylic support under the supply.
This sytem runs autocad like there is no tomorrow. Howerver its main purpos was to encode HighDef videos.
The system used to have 4TB of storage but now its down to just 2 as the white system in the bagcround is a 16TB File surver running two Raid 5 raid arrays.
It was all desinged in Corel Draw X4 and cut on my Epilog laser.
