[QUOTE="ichessblumen, post: 556349, member: 45047"] not so much pictures from me here...just a short explanation for our homebrewed coolig solution. the CPU cooler was made of a layer of 2 pieces of 5mm thick copper. we drilled in 3 holes for the heatpipes and then and fastened it with a standard bolt thru kit. the gpu was bit more difficult. I've seen on a lot of coolers, that the heatpipes are squeezed in and so we tried it, to save material,weight and space. same method as above but we drilled a bit wider and then squeezed the heatpipe in. one half for the big enclosure cooling block and the other for the gpu cooler. it had the advantage that we could retro-fit the gpu cooler on the heatpipe-copper element with no hassle of producing new parts. ;) Next steps are : - dvbs-2 card and test of 1080i HDTV. - custom made faceplate (already ordered) We've already tested .mkv in 1080p which runs smooth. the power consumption was around 55 W. Ahh, polarie forgot to mention, that we used an Athlon X2 235e. Here's the picture with all mounted coolers in the empty housing.( I forgot to bring my cam in, so we had to use a mobile phone's cam, so not very crisp picture) More to come. ieb [/QUOTE]
