Woah.... Beautiful :eek2:. Now I cant say that I really like the rad system on top of the cases.. But rest of the PC is amazing. I especially really like the led lightning!

Thanks mate.
I agree, the rad hood was not my favorite either, only because I do have quite a few hdds and no better space for the 360.

The project were started quite a while ago, I definitely would choose another chassis next time ~

feel's like watching terminator machines :D

magnificent build!

what did you use to make the block

:yepp: right, it was my attempt, a bit machine feel~

Those water blocks were made of nickel anodised copper, crafted out from the CNC by a friend who is a signage contractor, I drafted the dimensioned drawings to him.

Very Nice!

The drawing of the blocks are amazing , wana do some for me? :D

I dont like the Koolance top altough it looks good on nigth photos , the builds are very good looking.

Regarding the raid card what brand is it?

You mean the Raid card brand? They are LSI.

I also owned Adaptec 5805 and wanted to watercool it too. Then I lost the confidence to remove the stock heatsink without damaging it, it was firmly glued on. LSI raidcards are much easier to deal with :rofl:~

Those are two gorgeous looking machines. :yepp: Amazing work mate. As for the custom waterblocks, simply awesome. :up:

What a pair of beauties.... more like, how did you convince her she needed THAT much? Is she a "tech savvy" also? Great stuff man, one of my fav builds yet

Truly awesome work ppost. Don't think I've ever seen a water-cooled RAID card, ha!

I've been waiting for you :). It seems ages ago i was in contact with you. Great to see the pictures here.

Thanks mate.
She is my wife, so she won't have alternate option but to absorb those excessive components from my projects I guess ..... :rofl:

Hey, :toast:

I was really lazy to get the photos organised although they were taken quite a while ago already.
And the worst is, until recently, I almost quite sure that I won't touch this hobby again, so decided to wrap up the photos properly for good memory and record.
Interesting enough, it is also stimulative during the photo picking process .....:rofl:

Good to meet you here finally, and thankyou for your appreciation :up:.
See you around~~

One of my favorite things about those builds up there ^ are that they actually look better in the light than in the dark, unlike some other builds.

They look awesome, both light and dark. My favorite parts are the switches in the back and the clean cuts in the side panels. I also LOVE your cabling job that's done on the hard drives.

Which part in Hong Kong are you from? :)

one word..... magnificent!!

Are there any shops selling watercooling components in Hong Kong?

Bitspower has set up an office in HK.

Otherwise, just a few local dealer / retail shops here, but most of them are no good, tricky and dishonest... hardsell, mislead newbies, and spoil other competitors' shops/ brand and their users between forums in order to protect their (narrow) market, simply dirty, messy and pathetic. :down:

So, many people in HK who even has the least experience in watercooling would already order from US, UK, German or Taiwan directly.

WOW!! Gorgeous! :eek:

Can we buy direct from the BP office?? Might be swinging by HK for a holiday.

Guan Hua (Taipei) is also pretty hopeless when it comes to finding proper watercooling products. Only one shop offers a decent selection, but at exorbitant prices.

seeing builds like this is a real inspiration... i seriously want to build my own water rig...

GET OUT OF MY HEAD :p
