Quiet Ahanix D.Vine 5 (Almost finished)
Hello great forum this is
Gives a lot of inspiration so i will try to give some back now
Short story about this project:
This was started back in 200509 but was aborted due to my best friend died
so this project was halted until now in december when i felt for continue building it so now its like 98% finished 2 things remain the exhaust fan in the psu will be exchanged its "pretty quiet now after adding an serial resistor to it" but not enough silent,
And then i am building an circuit who will operate on when the dvd is ejected that an ccfl will light up the tray its finished mounted an "breadborard" tose boards ju just stick the components into without need to solder...
Its an:
CPU: Celeron 2,93ghz slightly overclocked to 3,03ghz
MB: Asus P5P800S
HDD: Maxtor 250GB sata
DVD: Nec ND-3540
GFX: Radeon 9250 ViVo
NTW: D-Link dwl-520+
I think i got every thing right atm
Will update the thread with more pics later of the construction etc...

I can´t believe no one has commented yet, so let me be the first to say i like your htpc. I really love that case it looks like a piece of hiend audio gear. Why did you go for the water culling, it seams to me it is overkill for a celeron and it takes up a lot of space(you could have had more HDs in there)? Where does the fan gets it´s air from, and how loud is the PSU(this seems to be a mayor limitation of this case, it is big enough to take potentiality a SLI setup but you could never find a small, quite and powerful psu)

When I first saw this post, I thought, "not with 60mm fans, you didn't!" But that is a very nice setup. I wouldn't have thought a W/C system would fit in an HTPC case, nor that you could cut a SATA cable and solder it back together with no detrimental effect on data integrity.
Glad to see I was wrong on both accounts.
