my uber floppy bracket, look how neat, just functional, not so shiny as I like but you'll never see it, so who cares ? :)

http://i44.tinypic.com/orqhpe.jpg
at least It looks good from the outside :D

There will be more if you want it, 'cause from the next updates it's getting more to the direction of watercooling :rolleyes:

Good deal ... you got some nice shots of the case and that copper HSF looks good (TRUE Copper?).

Thx shazza, it aint a TRUE Copper, its a Scythe ninja copper edition, very limited, I thought there were only 500 or 1000 in the whole world of these, best aircooler I've ever had together with the mugen 1 :)

Update from the 26th of april 2009

So, after being busy 'ntill 'bout half past 1 this night@my stacker, it was imho time for an update, not a big one, and not a small one, that make's a medium one :P.
So I went to my grandparents for getting my package from it-service, I took it apart and opened it very chilled :D

http://i43.tinypic.com/25kkg3t.jpg
This is it :)

http://i44.tinypic.com/zlu7pu.jpg
Opened and what did I saw, more cardboard ..., very well packed

http://i42.tinypic.com/el78gh.jpg
After al that cardboard I saw the next things in front of me eyes :rolleyes:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2cy302f.jpg
Unpacked it, just that EK backplate isn't for me ;)

http://i39.tinypic.com/2a98k2c.jpg
Emptyed the case (again : rolleyes:)

http://i41.tinypic.com/riyjy9.jpg
Than putted the hardware and al the other stuff together with it

http://i39.tinypic.com/2a9oc53.jpg
mounted the fans on my PA120.2, but there wasn't enough light, so my dad came up with this solution :D
 
http://i43.tinypic.com/30a432r.jpg
And here, well here we're doing the "Coolfris", this means, cleaning rads on Coolfris's way, and to be honest, this works UBER :cheerleader:

That's it, if you want more, you've got to scream :P, but I also have to study a script for a play (last time I'm doing this, it's hanging my b*lls out)

'ntill the next ;)

Well well well, another update, not 'ntill the end, but prolly I gonna update again this evening, if not, shurely this week ;)
Now time to meet my new stuff in person :)

To start with, the D-tek Fuzion V2, quite free-flowing and unrestrictive , wich is neccessary if you look to it's possition in the loop ;)
http://i44.tinypic.com/2pquce9.jpg
Standard delivered with two 1/2" barbs but they're useless to me, 'cause I'm a 3/8" man :P

http://i41.tinypic.com/35b5zz8.jpg
So I put those F*ckers of :D
 
http://i43.tinypic.com/2cihel4.jpg
After that I opened the block to look if there wasn't any kind of dirt in it, but I didn't fount anything, a proper block !

http://i41.tinypic.com/14ieus8.jpg
For those that might be curious to the base, here it is, but I guess you all knew allready how it looks from the inside
 
http://i39.tinypic.com/22kxhe.jpg
Than I putted the block on the P5K Deluxe, 'cause there wasn't anything else I could do with this one xD

http://i42.tinypic.com/1z64nb8.jpg
Time to met the res :) (hello buddy :coke:)
 
http://i44.tinypic.com/23qwya.jpg
Placed the pom-holder while the radiator-setup was running :d

Time to meet swiftech's MCW60-R
http://i39.tinypic.com/2edqohf.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/2uo59w7.jpg
After mounting those block I've noticed the mess was slightly coming up :D

http://i44.tinypic.com/2sbwcvt.jpg
I'm liking the looks of the fuzion V2 on the P5K Deluxe ...:2up:

http://i44.tinypic.com/b7famv.jpg
Now this time, I don't end with a overviewshot, but with a detailshot, yeah things can go strange, but those tubes are the first centimeters of tubing I placed :crazyclap:

Update 5th of may 2009

Yes yes, almost the lates update for this simple build, but yeah, we had to come to an end for this one ... :(
So dear kids and grown ups, don't be sad, 'cause I think I've got some more plans for this one (just like with the day 'n nite build :D).
Now enough talking, 'cause we ain't at the place where you get your hair cut ... :D, time to watch some candy !

And becauce I ended last time with a detailshot, I'll start with a tubingless overview :coke:

http://i44.tinypic.com/fksdit.jpg
so, an overview, it was quite late, that's the reason why the camera ain't pointed very well :D

http://i41.tinypic.com/sliuk3.jpg
I also liked this pic :D

Then I started routing tubing like a mad man, 'cause I planned the loop allreade a week or 2 ago.
It's kinda lookin' like paint with the RED tubes :coke:

http://i43.tinypic.com/2cffxbm.jpg
Pump in full action !
 
http://i39.tinypic.com/1znwewo.jpg
A busted foto, 'cause when i was watching this I was thinkin', hey, wtf, since when do I have SLI'ed 7900GT's ? :coke:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2zstgmf.jpg

http://i43.tinypic.com/o9jw9y.jpg
Preparing Thermochill PA120.3, with just 2 fans, should be more than enough for this and I was to lazy to get my dvd burner out to squeeze the rad in :P

http://i44.tinypic.com/sc7rxw.jpg
So what did I do, emptied The RDS build

http://i39.tinypic.com/jqt10i.jpg
