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:.

very cool, as with all WC systems (no pun intended). no crazy mods or anything?

In time. I thought it best to keep things simple since it was my first time under H2O. I already can see some things that need to be improved in terms of the way the tubing was routed, but it works for now. Also, I shoved a 120mm fan in next to the Graphics card to keep the memory and such cool, but that may need to be situated better, we'll see...
