NYRAD, you can swap the position of the lowest exit tube on GPUs: it's wayy to long the way it is (and way to bendy !). I would go parallel on the dual cards, and use both upper connections for in and out. Or if you really want serial, enter on top right on upper card (instead of top left right now), and exit on top left from lower card. You'll gain a lot of tubing length, and remove a 180° bend.

Read the thread rules hugo
I think the trend on this thread recently is Corsair cases, EVGA mobos/GPUs, and EK blocks. I just ordered some new tubing today and also waiting on a new mobo. Hopefully I'll have everything by the weekend and a full disassembly, cleaning and rebuild will take place. (Break out the static dust clothes and compressed air!) At that point I hope to have some new pics to upload. Gonna try some white LED lighting since I'm fed up with uv stuff, hopefully it won't showcase the dust!
All these builds are just amazing and I'm proud to be a part of this community. Keep it up!
Looks very nice hugo, just for future reference by reading the rules, you can only post 4 pics of ur rig, slap on the wrist :)

Hay Hugo, I love those Ballistic Tracers and nice videos btw! You have quite a light show going on in there, are you finish for now or do you plan on adding more glowing goodness?

Made them myself.
MasterSe7en: Just using distilled water. Going to throw in some PT Nuke in it pronto!
Systemlord: I think I am done for now with the light show. I might get some Primochill Dye Bomb UV and Blood Red mixed in there and throw in a UV light. But as far as the system goes, I am done for a few months till I got SLI and MOBO watercooling.
I would love to change it but i need to import everything from usa to me here in south africa and i dont have a angled barb for it to exit between the two cards where i wanted it to originally :( so it was about the best i could doQuote:

With all of these super nice setups makes me wonder if I should even post anything when and if mine gets finished!! ;)
halukkilic, nicely done, all neat and tidy, and curious did the rear white fan come "dimpled" like that originally? Would think that would cause so "turbulence" noise??
SimpleTECH, is that rear rack your creation or retail??
morencyam; i'm using all time lamptron touch manually adjusting fan speed, not make any problems, very practical and useful, i'm very pleased,
and i change radiator location but i'm so tired, i waiting new cpu sandy bridge and other.

Well, show me 1 motherboard manufacturer that makes motherboards with a sick color scheme and great overclocking capabilities and the new Gigabyte UD7 P67 doesn't count cause that one aint out yet :D (I also bet we'll be seeing quite a few of those too)Quote:

And EK blocks are just the nicest out there :yepp: Bitspower blocks are clean too but overpriced just like the Koolance blocks which don't really go well with any color scheme unless you have nickle plated blocks.
And Corsair is the new Silverstone although I bought a TJ07 recently...
So EVGA + EK + Corsair = killer combination :clap:
Lots of nice cases here, I figured I'll contribute my latest.
