![]() ![]() Since this is a server of mine, it has been on for roughly 2 years straight. The most difficult part was cleaning out the heatsink underneath the CPU fan. I had completely forgotten that the PSU, system and CPU fans were completely caked in dust. to be exposed for connection.Īfter everything was mounted snug, much cleaning was needed. As shown in the image below, a hacksaw was used to cut the appropriate amount of space for the VGA, RJ-45, keyboard, mouse, etc. After waiting 10 minutes for it to dry for each layer, we had enough time to take the plastic lid that came with the aquarium to have it serve as a slightly moded bufferzone between air and oil. From there, we took the spare plexi glass, and broke it into 4 small 1" X 1" pieces, and glued them together with a bonding liquid that was about the strength between superglue and epoxy. After that, we took it out and drilled 3 holes in proper holding places so that the motherboard would remain secure. We then cut it to size, with the plexi-glass touching the bottom of the aquarium. Tester happened to have a sheet of plexi-glass that was a bit longer than the motherboard, so we used that as the back plate to hold it firmly against the side of the aquarium (plus, it will look like nothing is holding the motherboard at all). First, we measured all the dimensions to gain the right aquarium, which just so happened to be a classic 5 gallon one from K-Mart. So, your materials are gathered, now to the fun part, modding! (To a certain extent).
