I think it's clear tubing with black coolant. Look in the reservoir; you'll see that the coolant in it is black.Quote:

It isn't black tubing. When you look at his reservoir, the coolant inside is black.
Also, I think he's using a MCP350/355 with one of those XSPC reservoir tops.
Oh crap, didn't notice that lol. Well I know they (tygon) makes black tubing as well....
It's black feser one coolant with tygon tubing. There are two mcp355 pumps in the loop, both have the xspc res tops. I actually had the bitspower compression fittings for the thick walled 1/2 tubing to use, but they don't fit past the graphics card on the back of the gpu water block so I decided to use the high flow fittings I had. Before I refill the loop I will try and get some extensions so I can use those fittings.
I was under the impression that was grounds for a ban on XS.;)Quote:

I really didn't take many pictures, but I will try and take some more and get them up.
I just used spray paint to paint the case. The paint and primer were rust-oleum and the clear coat was some other brand I got at lowes.

Spoony,
Great job on the system. What barbs did you get for the xspc top?
Thanks
I originally had bitspower compression fittings, but changed them to bitspower high flow fittings. The change wasn't because of any issues with xspc top though, so if you prefer those fittings they will work fine.
How does the paint hold?Quote:

I think the primer is to blame, acid etchprimer would have been better i reckon but that doesn't come in spraycans as it is 2 components.
Nice job on your case btw. ;)
I noticed before I put the clear coat on it scratched very easy, but afterwards the paint held up way better.
clear coat will solve most any flaking issues, as will a good self etching primer or a well prepped case with a normal prime.
And I thought there were new pictures added. Silly me.
This thread is continuously ruined with idle non-relevant chatter. Its a GALLERY not a chat room.

Why? That rig looks great!Quote:

Just a guess but probably because its a pain to maintain a WC system and air cooling products have narrowed the gap.Quote:

It aint that hard... Clean the loop once every few months... no big deal.
EDIT:
It's hard to get a Q6600 to 4ghz on air anyways.
