This is a modding work done by me at my shop for modders here in portugal. The OS was for a long time Uphuck 10.4.9 but at some point i was ready to make the jump to Leopard and also decided to make myself a modded case .

The case modded here is a NoxMedia without the Imon features. It is a HTPC case that many wouldnt dare to assemble a Watercooling system in, mostly because there isnt much space for it inside the case itself although it is a big case when looking just to the case on the outside of it.

The case in its final conception will be having the following hardware:

 

Mini-ATX ASROCK P4VM890 SOCKET 478

PENTIUM 4 Prescott 3.2Ghz @ 3.69Ghz

GEFORCE 7300 GS 256 MB

SAMSUNG 1.25 GB DDR2

 

Has you can see this is not a " Top" system but it has been a reliable system trough time and prety much flawless.

The first board you will see is not the final one but is similar to the one that is really going to the case.

 

With the first board on it and a general view of the space of the case....

As you can see the PSU unit was the one used in the Wood Case and is still working...you can also see the 120mm NoiseBlocker Fan where we will put the 120 rad....

Excellent work =D Love how it's in a sexy black box, the DVD labelled drives give it a really nice touch =]

 

I don't think I'd have the first clue on where to start with installing a water cooling system.. lol!

 

But still great work!
