Like many here I have acquired the Rocketfish/Lian-Li for my new build. I have seen some extraordinary rigs based upon the RF and I thought I would give it a go. I have built computers for years, but never have I done any modding!:shocked:
So technically, this is my first project! With that in mind, any helpful criticism/feedback is wanted and needed. I need all the help I can get!
theplaidfad has inspired me with his Silent WC Rocketfish project. I thought I would use some of his ideas but with an air-cooled system instead. I'm not interested in WC yet, but I may go that way in the future.
I only have a few main goals in this project:
1. Silent/Very Quiet System
2. OCing my Q6600 to around 3.3-3.6GHz on air
3. Making the inside aesthetically appealing
4. Channeling the air in a way to increase air-flow with low rpms
5. And any other suggestion you good people might have!
I am coming from the following very noisy rig:
-DFI LanParty Ultra-D MOBO
-AMD Opteron 170 CPU w/Thermalright XP-90 HS and Panflo Fan @ 2.5 GHz
-G.SKILL 2GB (2x1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 PC 4000
-EVGA 7800GT 256MB GPU
-(2) Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS 500GB
-(1) Western Digital 74gb Raptor
-OCZ PowerStream 520W Adjustable SLI PSU
-Antec SLK3000B ATX Super Mid-Tower w/(2) Antec 120MM Tri-Cools
Here is my new rig parts:
-Abit IP35-Pro MOBO
-Intel Q6600 G0 SLACR w/Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme and Scythe S-Flex 1600RPM Fan
-G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000)
-EVGA 9800GTX GPU
-(3) Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB
-Corsair TX750w PSU
-Rocketfish/Lian-Li Case w/Enermax Multifunction-Fan Controller Panel
-Material for noise dampening and air channeling (Peel&Seal Roofers Tape, foam floor-mats, and velcro)
I am going to use roofer's tape to line the inside of the case decrease to vibration and noise. The floor-mats will be cut and mounted via velcro in order to direct airflow and dampen noise. I am also going to create an air-tunnel with the floor mats for my hard drives. I have sketched a diagram of how I intend it direct air-flow that you can see HERE.
