First post, first WC Built ... in progress
This forums give me good idea :up:
can you show full pics of case man!!! i want to do something similar to you is that a v2000 mate????
MORE PICS!!!
Here's my 2nd attempt at water cooling, this time with the ever-popular TJ07 case.
Swiftech blocks for CPU and NB, PA120.3 in the base, MCP655 pump and an EK150 reservoir. Liquid is Feser Aqua pure distilled water with Feser View blue dye.
As I've taken most of my ideas from other builds posted here, the layout may seem familiar to many of you :p:. Probably the only thing different to most builds is the HDD module mod. I got the idea from AndyM, and took a Lian-Li module and modded it so the cables run at the front of the case. If anyone is interested in the mod, let me know and I'll post some pics in a separate thread.
Well, onto the case:

very nice mate looks great!!
this your second rig? do you still have you cube?
Very nice rigs, loving the clear 3603. Though it will probably turn cloudy by time :/, but then again, it's really nice, so, what the hell :D
Thx. Yeah, still got the cube. Planning some minor changes to it soon which I'll post soon in the build log.Quote:

Here’s a few day shots of my rebuild.
And some night shots too.
Great build, ladderman.
A question : where did you hide the SF800 ?
pee bee - how did you sleeve your 24 pin ATX? i cant get my pins out
Disruptfam: Yes it's a V2000, great case to WC
Here pics of the full case
White cathodes and panel installed

Took an AC-Ryan Pin-remover for this and as it broke, I took 2 needles to get every pin hardly out of it :wierd:Quote:

Thanks mate.Quote:

I put a joint in the length of tubing that goes from the PA to the Fuzion, so all I have to do is drain that part of the loop, remove the joint and put the SF800 in it’s place. The red arrow indicates where it will be.
What do you guys recommend? Metal hose barb clamps vs. plastic? =)
Origin_Unknown: Yes it's a PA120.3 for one loop (CPU and Chipset) and I'm going with PA120.2 and PA120.1 with shroud for the other one (GPU)
I know it's a little Xtreme, but should be quiet.
You’ve done a great job there, but I hope you don’t mind pointing out that you haven’t used any Zip ties or worm drives.Quote:

Worm drives are the best. You always get a great seal and they are easy to remove too.Quote:

Thanks ladderman. When you are ready to add, please share your experience in my SF800 thread, especially the flow rate accuracy. I've toyed with mine for 2 weeks now and after a near-death experience, I'm more careful now.
Anyway, great build you got there :)
I don't mind you mentioning it :)Quote:

I like what you've done with your case. Given me some more ideas :D.
Do you have a pic of the top of the case? I'm guessing you modded it in order to fit the radiator, so was wondering how you did this.
Switched out the X38 and went back to SLI, same set up though I'm contemplating getting the NB watercooled when the blocks come out. My computer looks so scrawny compared to all these multi-rad set ups, great stuff guys.
