Scavenger hunt

Decided for the water cooling system to be made from aluminium. Aquired a nice piece of surplus alu from work. Did the preliminary sketch of water reservoir.

Thanks to the surfing in the Net and some comments of experience I've decided to change the config a little bit. The CPU is going to be E8400. It has the same characteristics and overclocks pretty well. It's also cheaper. Also changed the WD Caviar to Samsung Spinpoint F1.

Then, the horror of horrors, I found out that the Striker II Extreme is compatible ONLY with DDR3. That's going to have significant impact on my budget.

I also took picture of my work area. Here's the machine I'm going to use for the parts manufacturing. Normally it's used to make parts for HewSaw sawmills, but now it's time to make proper use of it :)



Yeah, it's a bit dark, but I forgot to change the settings on my camera...

I also managed to get a radiator from the local scrap yard. Now my computer has something mor spanish than just the name.
