Asus PC-DL Deluxe Mainboard
Dual Xeon compatible Mainboard, soundcard included, VRM
gets too hot though. ASUS
PC-DL Fansite.
Tagan TG480-U01
This is one of the best power supply units you can get.
The Asus board requires an SSI power connector! |

Installation
Installation in progress, one with fan, one without. The
Asus manual btw gave wrong information on the fan installation.
Intel didn't give any. The cooling body is so heavy you
think your mainboard is going to break.
Anyway, this setup was much to noisy, partcicularly the
varying fan speed made you go mad. So i soon looked for
a different cooling strategy.

LianLi PC70 Case
Full aluminium, four 80mm fans included (Front & Back)
plus it looks very nice! Especially the CD blends.
I had to have some holes drilled into the case to fix
the pump and to lay the tube. |

Eheim Waterpump
The pump needs an occasional refill.

The water is going a long way around the case, being actively
cooled by the fans and passively cooled in the tank outside |

View from outside
I'm quite happy with it, working well so far, fairly quiet,
i have it running below specification to keep temperatures
lower.
