Tubing: Masterkleer 7/16
Fans: Yate Loon L's
Fluid: PC Pure Blue
CPU: E8400 Batch# Q746A483

I have to say, this took awhile, and I lost a MB in the process. It was ridiculously fun however. Even my grandmother liked it :). Of course, the best part:

Thanks to Danger Den for designing and producing one of the best cases I have ever come across. Thanks also to Movieman for confirming I'd bricked my board :rolleyes:. Final thanks to SparkyJJO and the F@H Team for getting me to go to extreme lengths to cool my system to allow for 24/7 folding in summer weather :up:.
