I did not get much time today, but I did mount the rads, and it was not as easy as Charles makes it look! Who knew?
Well you can see the bottom is getting really crowded.

Tomorrow should be much more fun. I am looking forward to finalizing the tubing in the bottom, attaching the midplate and the rest of the tubing to the blocks.

hmm, Cant you move that single rad over a bit and mount the pump on the right? Maby a bracket with the pump mounted on its side?

Maybe, if I had the patience, I am an amateur, not a pro. Not to mention that the space down below is limited.
The bottom of this case looks like Swiss Cheese! This is the last rodeo with this TJ.

Things get pretty tight for room down there real quick, this may be an option but it may just open a whole new can of worms for you.

Interesting and very nice pics. So you are going with pull on your fans? And two 90's out of the big Rad? You will need those two pumps!
Very clean setup!
Thanks for looking in.

Thx, yep going with pulls throughout on the rads, as for the 90's I couldn't use 45's, no room- damn PSU gets in the way. Like what your doin with your build man, keep it up! :yepp:

I have to add the flow meter, tidy up the cables and fill it up for the leak test.
Thanks for looking in.

Like the pix... the 580 backplates look great, those are the nickel plated aluminum ones right?

The sleeving is red, white, and black- the tubing is white and black- let me guess, the coolant will be "red".

So what did you do down below? we want to see the basement :yepp:

Looking good :) Btw, Why dont any one put 2x 120.4 rads in the bottom section and psu in to the 5.25" section? Like this: http://i9.aijaa.com/b/00574/7809032.png

sry for my english >:

Yes, they are nickel and I will be using some red mayhem dye.

That would be very difficult with my setup and its too late.

The basement is really crowded.....

It is a really tight fit.

The extra rad is making things difficult. I am thinking of taking it out to allow for better airflow in the bottom. I don't think a single 120 is going to make that much difference overall.

I am thinking of locating the Aqua flow meter here...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03769.jpg

This should be the lowest flow point in the loop, I think :confused:

I meant to post this in my previous post. Yep, many cables and not much room. However, they all fit and the side panel does too!

This is the build I am working on for Nils....:eek:

Agreed. I am still in favor of old school hose/barbs between sli GPUs.

I am still on the fence with the crystals too.

It is a 1/6 scale Tiger tank and I was just kidding about Nils. However, he may want one!

I am tearing everything down today. There are a few things I don't like so it is back to the drawing board.

UPDATE:

Continuing Madness will be discontinued. I never really liked this build so the MB, CPU and Ram will be listed in the FS forum tomorrow.

The next build, soon to follow, will be complete insanity!

Stay tuned.:D

Mature choice, it was looking a little odd.

What case are you going to be using w/ the SR-2? There isn't a whole lot of choices out there. Well not good ones anyways.

Well, I am 50! However, I can still drive 200 mph so I am good in my book.

Good gravy! You own that?! You could just drive the parts to people when they order it... you'd be there in under 30 minutes, no matter where they would be haha!

like nice car, keep this thread updated with your new project :)

Now you know why some of us build our own custom cases. I got tired of trying to cram watercooling into a case. You just can't take a case designed for aircooling and make it really work right for water. Now building my own cases has become a hobby in and of itself. Go figure.

Rich does great work. I'm sure he can fix you up with something excellent!

There lies the challenge... ;)

Awesome car!!

When I was 18-20 I worked building GT40 replicas in England, unfortunately I was only allowed to drive the base spec cars with around 350bhp and not the tweaked or monster 7.5ltr versions... :(
