Lawton's LCD Computer - Mark 3

Coinciding with motherboard failiure, I decided to make some changes to neatness, usability, servicability and improvement so it would not fail the same way again

The motherboard's south bridge failed. The CPU and north bridge were always cooled well, but the south bridge would get very hot and crash during video playback with dts sound, (sound decoding was done in the south bridge). In the cramped environment the south bridge achieved temps past 100degC. Now that it was required to be disassembled, water cooling and all, it was the kick in the butt needed to make the system better. This involved new motherboard, cooling the south bridge and tying up the loose ends that were left in the last build.

Unsatisfied with the messy and hosing that could not be "unplugged" I sought out quick disconnects from Koolance, which in hindsight is a MUST HAVE for water cooling systems. The system is now fully disassemblable, neat, consistent hose sizes, internal hard drives and software monitorable and adjustable with Koolances TMS200 system. Check it out below:
