Convert a Server into a Desktop Gaming PC by hubinio

I bought an old HP Server DL380 Proliant G7 (200 €) to convert it into a desktop gaming PC. These old servers have a lot of power for a very low price plus mine has 64 GB Ram a DVD Drive and space for up to 8 hard drives in RAID. You also need a 10pin hp server power cable for pci-e 8pin + molex 4 pin + sata 15pin power and a HP Expansion Slot Riser Board Card, 3x PCI-E - ProLiant DL380 G6 G7 - 496057-001 and a HP HDD Backplane Power Cable / Kabel DL380 G6 DL385 G6 - 496070-001 / 463184-001 and additionaly a Molex to 4 4 pin fan adapter. The fans in servers are very loud so you need to get rid of them to use it at home. So remove the installed fan and build adapters like on the picture from the plugs of the fans. Otherwise you get an error that the fans are missing. Then you need to print the parts. For the fan shroud you need to put two things together. I used a 3D Printing pen for that to kind of weld it together. After that you need to cut the polycarbonate plate and make big holes for your 140 mm silent fans. Also cut a slit for your PCI Riser Cable to put a graphics card externally if your graphics card is to long. Maybe you also need an adapter to power two 8 pin connectors from one 8 pin connector. At the end put everything together like shown on the pictures. Use the fan shroud to guide the air from the two 140 mm fans through the existing heat sinks of the two processors. You can add LED Stripes powered by the internal USB Port. I also installed an M.2 SSD in one of the PCI Express Slots using an adapter and a SATA SSD in the RAID in the front as a boot drive. At least I installed a second power supply because these servers are designed to work with two. If you use a multi-plug with a foot switch to power your server and set the bios to power on automatically when there is power from the wall you can turn the server on and completely off very easily. Otherwise the fans from the power supplies are always spinning.
So far you only have thermal throtteling after 100 % load for over 20 min. The throtteling is not high and this server can do a lot in 20 min. For me its a perfect all day computer with very high performance for cheap. It is fun to use!
