Hi guys!

Just finished my system and wanted to post it here to get your comments and suggestions.

Thanks.

so where is it? I was trying to find out if there was a watercooled case gallery so I could post my PC in there. I didn't know if I could post it here.:)

Yep, that is why I asked:)

hmmm, are you going to post some pics for us? A list of your components maybe?

OK here goes!
After a looong time of researching and preparation (1 year on/off researching. 3 month final preparation. 1 month modding and assembly)(yes! I took my sweet, sweet time ;) ) I finally finished my first watercooling setup :) First I would like to thank ALL the people that helped me directly and in-directly to get my rig up and running from here and other forums as well :cool:
All relevant watercooling parts:

- White Water
- MCW20
- MCW50
- 1/2 Clearflex
- 2-342 heater core (2" shroud on both sides)
- 4 Panaflos 120mm L1A push/pull (1 extra for burners)
- Iwaki MD-15RLT (shrouded)
- Lian-Li Pc 70 case (very moded)
- Rest in my sig...

This rig is cooling a very hot P4 2.4c @ 3.5, AIW 9800 450 core and NB and it's giving me 6c above ambient idle and 10c load. Although I measured using MBM5 and a temp probe I don't really know how accurate these readings are. I have asked on other threads but there is too much conflicting information and I'm lacking the tools to find out for myself. Even if I add 10c more I would still be happy with my temps :)
It was a good project and it was very worth it, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Looking forward to learning more from it and helping out newbees :) with what I can.

"Comments" is one of the reasons I posted this, so, any and all are welcome.
:cool:

Actually the L1A's are very quiet
Specs: Physical dimensions: 120x120x38mm, 12x12cm. Input power: 2.16 Watts. Max. air flow: 68.9 CFM. Max. noise: 30.0 dB-A. Max. air pressure: 3.3 mmH2O. Operating voltage (V, dc): 12V (7-13.8V range).
I had to relocate the PSU to fit the very massive radiator I used and also wanted to keep the "PSU look" on the back of the case (and didn't want to make a big whole on the back of the case to take the cable out. It also looks better to me;) ) so I cut up the back of an old power supply and soldered a cable from the PSU to the "Dummy PSU". This "Dummy PSU" serves a dual purpose as it also has a working fan that helps cool down my two HDD that are right below it. Those are the ones in Raid0.

(The HDD you see on top of the CD-Burners is for video stuff and misc., the space above it is reserved for 2 Raptors). It also has a working switch which comes in handy.

No, it's not the set for the next Tarzan movie :)
Well the cables had to go somewhere. The green squares are more or less were I made the cuts :eek: , but it all turned out ok. :cool:

I would have liked to get the water a red color but I also wanted something that would glow very brightly and green is the only color that glows so bright. So, green it was.
I don't actually have a real PSU on the back of my case it's a "dummy psu". Your case is most probably the same one that I have. Mine came stock with the PSU on the bottom like yours but if you look closely the back of the case has an aluminum piece were the PSU goes that ca be removed (4 thumb screws). I just turned mine around. :)
