Tha H²O For PC

Well ever since I can remember I have had computers and been tinkering with the internals. It all started off with a spare 80386 from dad's work and I was hooked. I was even able to skunge my way up to a 486DX from spare parts here and there and was very proud of my own personal computer in my room.

Then when I went to high school and all my friends had their own PC's, I didn't feel so special anymore. I decided to remedy this by making my computer one of a kind. I remember seeing the movie hackers 1 and Angelina Jolie had a really cool Laptop painted all different army colors. I decided I could do the same and so after spending only $120 and 50 or so hours. My computer was now painted BRIGHT RED.

Now realize, this was back in 1996 when all you could buy was beige computer cases and monitors. When I went to LAN parties with my mates (10base2, coax LAN's. Not Ethernet...) My computer was "special".

Fast forward 4 years and fantastic looking computer cases are available in computer shops for only $50 extra. Once again,

I decided that it was time to retire RED from the computer gaming scene and get a new head turner. I did some research on what was new to the computer scene. I got the valuable information I needed from

• My good mate Paul

• Tom's Hardware - Original Review - New Review

• [H]ard|OCP

• My trusted friend GOOGLE

After importing a range of handles & lights (that were not available yet in Aus) from America and some top of the range water cooling equipment from InnovaTek in Germany, I was ready to make DORRIS the coolest PC at the now Ethernet LAN parties.

If you want to see how it was done, please read on through the three sections, Handle, Water & Lights.
