Build Title: CSLC (Consumer Server Liquid Cooling)

Thread URL: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/577653-temp-results-custom-loop-in-a-dual-xeon-780ti-dell-2u-server-8k-realtime-render-server/

 

Description: What makes this project unique, is its one of the very few stock data center servers that has a custom loop squished/attached/installed onto/into it. I pulled my radiator from my last rig, picked up two waterblocks and BAM, my temps are rarely over 30C even under load. Oh did I mention I squished a full graphics card in there? It currently acts as a gaming rig/file server/render server and can real time edit 8k footage by using RAM drives. While the original server (C2100) was 2U, it is now 3U with the modifications. The advantage to liquid cooling in this “case” was it’s very quiet and runs extremely cool for the components that are squished into it.

Build Title: Core V1 Mini k|ngp|n Edition

Thread URL: 

Description: First modded build that sparked something more.  Wanted to do something that wouldn't be done or not considered.  Thus came the k|ngp|n card.  Was a fun build and love building on itx and matx cases.  I made custom one offs for this build because I couldn't get what I needed through normal shopping.  Espcially with the music activated bezel ran by FadeCandy.  Color scheme is red, carbon fiber, black chrome and black.  Enjoy!

Build Title: Trigonometry

Description: The components are mounted to a peice of 1/8in Baltic plywood that is painted with the design of the 2 csgo skins "trigon" and "asiimov". First ever mod at the age of 15. It has old parts with air cooling. The cables run underneath and the board is 2 inches of the wall with a wooden orange trim around the edges to hide the cables underneath.

Build Title: PS3- PC

Description: After my PS3 YLODed and the fixes stopped fixing I decided to put a pc into it. This is not a high end build but that being said, everything is swappable and you can upgrade the components easily. Yes, the cable management is horrid but as Luke discovered it doesn't cause an issue with air flow.

Used Zotac motherboard

Used Intel core 2 duo 2.13 Ghz

220 watt psu

Zalman low profile heat sink fan

It works great as a media player/pc. I think it looks cool and it looks pretty stock.

Title: Janus 2.0

Description:

"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others" - Ayn Rand

 

What can you achieve when you don't worry about who you're trying to beat or what can you create? Life moves at a constant pace. We don't realize what we have done until we sit and look back.

 

I have been doing Folding on my Computer's down time to hopefully find a cure for Cancer (the previous build was dedicated to it and my father who passed from it). The Division was released, we all love it or hate it. After it's launch I realized how much time I was spending in my office and what it was doing to my computer. I figured it was time for a whole office upgrade. There is a new monitor being created by Samsung that is 32:9 and 49 inches. When that time comes my desk will shrink somewhat (I made it slightly modular). A dual monitor setup has always been the dream but the evil bezel in the middle has always prevented that from being a reality. Having a 32:9 monitor fills that gap and I'm quite excited for it.
