Odd in that picture it looks like a SR1 360, supporting 3 120mm fans not 4.Quote:

@ MadHacker: its an 3x 140 rad. The fourth fan is for in the back off the case
Sweet build there melle.k, looking good.
time for a noob question :rolleyes:
do I need to flush my radiator or something and if that is the case, how?
thanks in advance
yes. Flush it with water or read the stickies.
thank a lot:up:
but can you please show what stickies I cant find them anywhere.
myself when i bought my heater cores, I just hooked one hose to the kitchen sink, and the other to my rad. And ran water trhough it for a while.
I just wanted to make sure I got any tiny pieces of metal or grit flushed out of it.
duno if it is the absolute right way, but that is what I did.
my 2¢
thanks a bunch guys
sleeving my fingers off at the moment and after that I will take care off my radiator
finished sleeving my power supply

Excellent sleeving job! Good find on those fans, too.
You should be fine just flushing your radiator with hot water, and rinsing it with distilled or de-ionized.
thank you for those kind words :)
I already flushed my radiator with cleaning vinegar for 30 minutes. after that I flushed it with hot water for 10 minutes or something
flushing my rad :rolleyes:

Sleeve-job: Glad that you mastered it so well!

I hope that it performs as good as it looks
the sleeving...
it..just.....Perfect ! :up:
good job there..
thank you :)
Hey all
I don't know what video card to choose: :shrug:
-5870 with a mod so its is all black
-some nvidea card like 285/295/275 (outdated?)
-wait for gt 300 to come out with the risk that it will be extremely expensive or not that good and the fact that I will have my build finished and still have to wait for a video card to come out of which I'm not even sure if I will buy it.
I'd like to hear your opinions on this matter!
Cheerio!
Seems as if, based on those options, the 5870 would be your best bet.Quote:

they are looking good but I am a little bit disappointed by lian li it looks like they didn't put much detail in it its just some acrylic with some screws attached to the side panel. But it looks okay that is al that matters :yepp:
about the video cards
I still don't know what to choose so some more suggestions are very welcome.
5970/5870 cant lose their if not that i guess wait til ati's refresh and/or fermi release and see whats competing..regardless prices should drop by that point if that matters to you
yes but the 5870 is not available for who knows how long and the 5970 is to long to fit in my case :rolleyes:Quote:
