It is designed to be used with a top mount PSU. If you reall want the LED to show, then leave it as is, but cable manage will suffer for it.

Here is my magic system. It works decent for what I am using it for (a replacement for my broken acer (relax, its just a dead battery due to a broken AC adapter). for a 10+ year old machine it is not bad as a daily use machine, once you adapt to the slow (4200 RPM if I remember) HDD.

Good to know I am not the only one who is using old computer with old OS :D
 
I don't think I could ever get used to a slow machine again. I pull my hair out whenever I have to use the machines at school. Pentium Dual Cores with 2 gigs of RAM.

Dude, I can't even cope with going back to a 7200 RPM HDD from an SSD in my system, let alone going to a dual-core and 2GB of RAM. :P

Though at school we have similar systems to what you have: most with Core 2 Duos or Pentiums with 2GB of RAM and Windows 7 Enterprise.
 
Wait wait wait...WTF?!
Core 2 duo AND 2 GB of RAM is weak to you????????

Wow...

Then...WHAT THE HELL would my PC be comparing to that what you call "WEAK"?...Eniac?
xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD

You will get blind if you see it xD xD xD xD xD xD
 
And here it is! My big ugly waterblock mounted on my athlon 64 :P. Just using an open loop lol.
Will let you know how it works tomorrow or wednesday :D.

(again, this case doesn't support any cable management features.)

I solved the "no waterholes" problem by using an opening for a dvd drive lol. I find this pretty creative xD.

It is not good at all. You just have to use what will work well with what it has (mainly the 256MB of RAM and slow, Small HDD). If it would do 512MB or so, then I would use XP, simply to stop having to use things I don't want to. Like Office 2003. Don't get me wrong, it is by no means bad, but it is a lot more resource hungry than Abiword, but I can not get that to work at all so far (I know there is a version, but I did not have time to search it out again).

Wireless would be nice, but the card will not install till I get IE6 (for whatever reason) and I don't really want to go searching the net for a standalone installer (as windows update no longer works).

Some more USB 1.1/2 would be nice also. 1 is quite limiting when you use a flashkey and a USB mouse. Could get around that with a Serial mouse, but it would be cheaper to pull the wireless card and get a PCMCIA USB adapter, yes?

A lot of people say that. Once you look at it though, and don't expect miracles, it is not that bad. The hard drive is the main limit to these old systems. Even a 7200 RPM will get no real improvement due to ATA66 interface (8.25MB/s max burst rate).
For basic things, like surfing the net, doing office work, and talking to people on facebook, it is no better than my desktop at doing. Would probably run an older game too if I wanted to dig one up to play.

Hehe yes, I got enough place for that block, just not the holes to let the tubes out xD.

Good assembly you have there. Though with a drill you could have ran the hoses out the back and had an overall cleaner look. But it is good as is also.
