So so good :slobber:
:shocked:
Just downright sexy!!! Excellent photos BA! :clap: :clap: :clap:
is that a powder coated optical drive I see or just painted?
Charles, you make one hell of a product!
You know, I like the black screws on the EK that much better. While it is only a small feature, a build like this requires no detail be overlooked. Again...nice...very nice! :woot:
OH-MA-GOODNESS!
That case is so damn sexy I coul...
...No let's not go there. I think you get the idea though ;)
Nice job :up:
Quick question: Any problems with the GPU block :p:
Um....
This makes me want to sell my computer and get a murdermod!
If only I want lotto! :clap:
Awesome as always :up: what else you except of murdermod :D
BA, how did you mount the rad at the bottom?
:) Thanks!Quote:

My thoughts exactly. That's why I have an extra TJ07 just sitting there now.Quote:

This is what I came up with. What do you think?

Nice looking EK pump top! :up:
Can't see that pump making much noise except if it rattles in the bracket, but that really depends on how tight the bracket is.
I gave it a test run in a loop all by itself initially to ensure that the noise was tolerable. Turns out it isolated just about all of it. :)Quote:

Nicet Blueaqua! But how does it look from the side? You might wanna check that if it's a clear side panel and place it with a straight angle for the looks, if it's not an issue leave it like that I like it :up:
A little touch of murder heaven...
Just some more pictures of how I need the pump positioned. I think it'll work.

I also fired up the faceplate. DAMN it looks gooooood!!!!!!!! :up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...a/IMG_2427.png
May I ask how you'll integrate the Aquaero? It looked like the faceplate only has an opening for the optical drive. Great build by the way!
wow.. looks awesome.
D5 looks like it's suffocating in there!
I tried making the lightbox today and it came out great!
It will be mounted internally directly below the optical drive. I never used the buttons on the front anyways since it's all controllable with software.Quote:

Nice work,
Going to be VERY tight down there :) (Sounds wrong at the same time lmao)
Man BlueAqua, this sweet. I love the paint jobs and the pump idea was clever. I wish I had some of your skills. That murdermod logo looks awesome. I could go on forever at how awesome this build is looking. Great job on the pics also.
