looks pretty good. I like where you put the resevoir. may make it hard to work on but an interesting location, maybe paint/anodize the resevoir cover black to match the case? Need some pictures that give a better overview of the system.

:edit: Just noticed that your CPU block is twisted a little. Probably wont effect performance at all. But it is crooked in th epictures.
Also anyone know what the pictures dont wrap down to the next line. They are running horizotally across my browser, Opera.

Block is mounted like that intentionally because it's a duel mounting hole MoBo.

Yeah it's inverted, That's the setup with this case.

I have a black res cover cut already, it just has to be finalized.

Sorry about the low quality pics, but all i have is a point and shoot camera. The last pics is with flash.

nice job with the custom work. I am a big fan of that case too, I have the Lian-Li version.

With the water out hose from the GPU into the res create bubbles all the time in the res? So the loop always has small bubbles in it? Or is it a nice trickle so no bubbles form in the res?

You might want to secure your tubing with something other than a zip tie.

I was under the impression after reading many posts that zip ties were fine to use as clamps. The screw band type clamps just plain looks ugly.

Yes that is a problem, this is a temporary res. I'm making one which will still feed from the top but will have a secluded chamber to solve the issue. This is my first WC and have a lot to learn. I have the res now filled almost to the top to reduce the air bubles. Temps are good but will probably benefit from a res that's built right.

Nice. Love the res and how you have the pump positioned. Now all you need is three more vid cards to fill up that empty space :).

Zip ties are just fine. Used them many times. As long as you pull them tight enough (I use some needle nose pliers to tighten mine usually). The only down side is taking them off.

Yeah, I'm going to add 1 more card, but I don't fully understand how to link them fittings wise. I gotta do some research on that.



Looking good :up:

Thanks...

Funny thing is I ordered 10 feet of hose. Oh well time for a new loop :)
