Today when I was taking a break I was thinking about my trusty old athlon that now sits in some or other crappy case where the temps are horrid. I remembered people talking about mounting their hardware to the wall and started to create an idea of how my setup was going to look. I will also mount the harddrive, disk burners and psu to the wall. in a few hours work will begin. I will take some pictures during the transformation and also after its done and I'll put them in here. Keep an eye on this space guys

self made bracket for hdd and drives



everything attached to bracket



total setup, wiring not finished yet



set up and crunching



only issue i need to resolve is the fact that my wireless nic wont receive a network while its almost next to the router.

EDIT: works now, only gets low connection. switched it off for the night

I was going to mount my old water cooled machine to a piece of plexiglas (acrylic sheet), but I never got round to it.

Looks cool

How about this?

Temps improved 5-7 degrees celsius when in upright position, cant really figure out why, but lower temps equals happier me

So is this contraption still running??

[Frederic Brillouet]

sure is only thing is that my wireless card has difficulties connecting and I cant get an ethernet cable to where it sits and I dont want to move it around a lot so I cant update my d2ol client. so momentarily its shut off, but it will be powered on again soon
