It's not pictured but I have some PT gel and a small plastic box Velcroed to the case underneath the pump so it's not just hanging there. When I go to redo the loop for my 8800 I think that I'm going to remount the pump up in the 5 1/4" bays.

I would have mounted the pump in the bottom dvd drive bays. that way you cut a solid foot of excess tubing out of the loop.

Aside from that, Nice case I do like it.

And, on a random note, I want comments too! Page 308 as well. I have more pictures I just have to go through and toy around with them in photoshop to fix colors and the such.

OK, I've mentioned this build a few times already and I just finished it...in fact, it's so newly finished, it doesn't even have an OS yet. Before y'all flame me, I built this as an experimental shiats & giggles system, it contains:

Case is an old AOpen that I don't even remember the model #
Gigabyte GA-8I915G-MF
524 Preshott
Innovatek G-Flow CPU block
Sapphire X1300 (Gigabyte 7600GT shown in pics went up in flames last night due to touching top of the case http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/sad/mecry.gif)
DD CSP-Mag
3 Alphacool Cape Cora
MagiCool Plexi Reservoir 400
Innovatek compression fittings
11.2/8 Tygon R3603 (I was led the believe this was the right size for the fittings I bought but doesn't seem to fit right:shrug: )
Antec NeoHE 380
30GB Maxtor & 20GB Seagate HDD
Innovatek Protect fluid

I'm not expecting any great performance out of this system and soon as I use up all the fluid I bought (enough for 2 more re-fills), I'll likely switch it to an all copper/brass setup with an Apogee Extreme and a BIP.

Update on the Skulltrail

Got the EK Waterblocks from PPC today and they are sweet. 28C Idle and 32C load :D

This is what I have been waiting for so I could pair up the GFX cards...

I even managed to slip an X-fi between the big bastages.

I'm running off the Gynormo cooler (PA120.3, 6 Panaflo, Bonnie Core, IwakiRD30)

Still need to get a cooler on the MCH and SB...maybe in a day or two...it was a lot of work getting those cards LCed.

I like how you went to the Res before the Radiator...been thinking of doing the same myself. Any problems with cavitation (bubbles) in the system?

BTW, amazing tubing runs and overall great system!

cyber, as always, beautiful and very powerful system. :p

Cyber, how is the first block getting any flow with it in parallel?

Possibly there's enough restriction in the blocks and enough coolant flowing through that it still cools fine.

I've checked the 4 GPUs and they are all within 1C of each other.

To my mind it is just like an F fitting (or a T attached to an Elbow). The flow is introduced to two pathes. Neither path is less restrictive so it goes through both...

I think there is more flow from the terminal inlet...but the path is reversed on the outlet side so I think it balances out.

Bottom line is it's cooling so much better than air I can hardly believe it.

Nice one CyberDruid, did you have a single-slot bracket laying around or something? otherwise the soundcard would never fit :)

Looks like a seriously powerful system you have there, very nice :up:

Thanks :)
It depends on how much water you fill in the res. If you fill it up to almost maximum there won't be any bubbles. Another alternative is to use the EK Anti Cyclon for EK reservoirs.

You can see the worklog here:

Can you please take nice pics instead of making some random shots when you move with 15 mp/h....:(

I have a 5.1mp cam too but if you just set your ISO to 100, aperture on 2seconds and lay the cam on some clothes, nightsetting on for better colors, and a 2 or more seconds countdown. It will make beatiful pictures!

Just try and post again because your system is AWESOME!
