I agree...MUCH better. External watercooling components can truly kill the aesthetics a build.Quote:

the mod is good but i don't like this antec case, but overall it's a very good job
Here's my mess:

I want to put mine in the top HDD bay so I'm torn between the 655 and 355 which would be easier to fit.
Looks like the back end of the 655 would fit in the empty bay. Why didn't you mount it there?
Thanks for the comment, The pump would fit in there, but I had a limited supply of tubing and I also wanted the loop to be compact. I tried the empty bay and it would be a bit of a hassle to route tubing for the outlet of the pump as I didn't want to do more cutting than was necessary. It fits well though, doesn't touch anything inside and it's pretty secure.
My first H20 build.

Not bad, but if you paint the interior of the case black, it would be looking much better:yepp:
Upgraded my baby with some GPU cooling. Sorry bout the blurry pics, taken with my 810i cellphone cam.

Even though I ordered the swiftech sinks like a week or so from petras, and they should have the new thermal tape, it still sucked! Didnt stick whatever I did, tried heating the sinks up, etc. So I went with the superglue-in-the-corners-method, worked like a charm. :)

that pump is huge is it a alphacool pump?
Looks like an Iwaki to me. The pressure in that tiny ID hose must be immense...
GoldenEye, is that a Asetek Waterchill kit?
