Double Header 3 By: Joe

WOW if you survived all that.. you deserve a medal or something.

For your Efforts here is some more pictures of DH3 ( Yeh I know I am cheap, I had to sell your medals to pay for hosting this month. sorry) :) ( these are from tests and the final machine)

Obvious Questions -

Q: Is that Motherboard the Final one DH3 will use?

A: Nope that's just a BP6 I was using for size purposes.

Q: How Come there isn't a computer in it?

A: No money to buy one. just that simple.  Now that some companies I have talked with in the past see that this machine is real and not just some evil plot to steal hardware, maybe they will help out :)

Q: How come there weren't any water blocks shown in the loops?

A: Due to the total flexibility of this cooling system, the water blocks will be determined by what system goes on it. I am personally planning on using Overclock-WaterCool's  Silver Poly Blocks eventually.

Q: What Speed/Make of hardware you plan on running in it?

A: I would like to see a Dually DDR Tbird at 1.5Ghz Per CPU and 512mb of ram. But I may be smok'n crack again...   Also would like to get a GeForce Ultra in this machine.

Unfinished Business -

Stuff I still want and am going to change in this system:

  1. Replace the 300Watt AT 2nd PSU with a 531 or 600+ Watt PSU
  2. Drill out all the fan grills including the one on the main PSU
  3. Run Sound jacks to the DD5 panel in addition to the USB headers.
  4. Replace the Copper rivets I used with Stainless Steel for strength reasons.

People/Companies that helped make this happen-

Cole at Case Etc, Helped the project a lot with supplying the Neon and some advice when I needed it!

AOpen Rocks this world bar None. They have supplied us with some great gear in the past and this is no exception!  We have a nice slot loading 16x DVD from them just for this machine!  As well as a but load of other goodies.

The Boys at CoolerGuys.com helped out nicely with the supply of CompuNurses which are a key part in this project!

And of course Addtronics for the most bitching Case around!

Mac Power Needs MAD Props for their sending the DD5 as soon as they did, its a FINE tool to have in any case, and is right at home in DH3.

The Companys that helped me with this phase of the system have stickers on the side of DH3 and received mention here.  in the future as more companies help more will be added.

Thanks for Stop'n By!-

Thanks for take'n the time to read this, I spent 3 months on this project and I hope you got some ideas out of it.  Please check out our Pro/Forums for talk about this project.  Thanks!
