^^ Very neat and nice!
Great Cable management too!
Clean setup uncle david. I remember your worklog at dfi-street, didn't you have a Lian Li v2000? btw do you still post over at diy-street, it seems pretty dead over there.
what about load/idle temps using a single 120.1 rad ?
I'm assuming you're talking to me? Well, I'll tell you even if you're not :p:Quote:

Load temperatures typically do not exceed 45c.
Is that a coretemp reading during orthos? What voltage? Your loop is very clean :)
wow that is brightQuote:

I needed at least 8 LED's of the better quality to get that effect.

Here is my build that I created a case/sidedesk for to house it. The desk is just a test build out of plywood (thats why I painted it instead of finishing it)as my skill in woodworking is not up to speed. I will make a new one when I think I am ready to use the good stuff to build it.
I hope those fans aren't on full speed, why you need all of them at all ?
Notice the three fan controllers up front? ;)Quote:

In my next build I plan on making it closer and possibly sealing it shut with a rubber strip or something like that. That should help to keep it even quieter.
In this build I did not worry about protecting the wood against leaks, I did run some primer under the paint although I wouldn't expact it to do too much protection from the water if I get a total loss of fluid. I used Polycrylic on the outside of the desk and will use it all over the next one I build.
Thanks again!
dude, that is one big ugly boxQuote:

advice on painting wood, use a coat of flat enamel, let would absorb, sand it nice then finish with a coat or 2 of quick dry enamel with #1000 light sanding inbetween.

How have you got the rad mounted in that thing?
Yep in the bottom works a Thermochill P120.3 with the Performance Shroud mounted on it and the Pump (Laing DCC) too.

Here's my humble contribution, which is nothing compared to some of the monstrousities previously posted in this thread. It gets the job done though. I'll be upgrading towards an 8800GTX w/MCW60 + Unisink very soon. Sorry for the lousy JPEG compression:

jagt : Hmm...I saw that Stacker somewhere :D **Cough**John**Cough** Heh
Anyway, it's awesome and looks like one of my numerous Stacker \ PA120.3 build! :D
Yer, that's me. I've been lurking here since 2002 or something ;) The Stacker suits my needs perfectly. It's roomy and easy to mod. It's style is rather minimalistic compared to other "blingy" cases, and since I don't care for bling, it's perfect.Quote:

And since I'm using this system 24/7 I moved from a DDC-2 to the dependable Laing D5 Vario and changed my tubing from 3/8" to 1/2" (which is ironic considering there is talk of people moving from 1/2" to 3/8"). But so far I'm quite content with the changes.
Here are the results:

Closeup of the loop. I went for a very simple loop with only two blocks and a T-Line; nothing complicated like my previous loop:

Perhaps should have rephrased that. Maintaining an extra 8800GTX in my system, even if completely unusued and without SLI active, caused my system to consume more electricity and put pressure on my PSU and increased the noise level of my PC. Even worse, while it acted as a glorified paperweight in my PC, it dumped it's heat into the waterloop.Quote:
Originally Posted by Dark Prodigy

Fine it increased my benchmarks, but in terms of actual use, one overclocked 8800GTX handled everything anyway.
So I didn't gain anything by SLI except a larger electricity bill, a noiser PC, and a hotter running PC. Having tried it, I think SLI is overrated.
p.s. I am aware that I could have created more loops to handle the extra heat. But given the (questionable) benefits SLI has verses one overclocked 8800GTX, I'd rather not focus my efforts here.
Thanks. I prefer clean, simple loops.Quote:

Nice looking loop. Short and sweet. I don't like the full cover block at all though. And your SLI troubles are worth it for the badass factor :p: Plus it will benefit when we get dx10 games.

Awesome new pics of my system. Just took them :D
Thats with new 8800GTX (Big Thanks goes to Dynasty :up:) installed and some more cable management done. Also, i removed that crappy mosfet Asus include with their motherboard...It would not make any temps difference and the NB would become enough hot that i couldn't touch it for more than 5 secs. Instead, i removed the Asus "shield" and hooked my Sunon 60mm fan. NB is pretty much just warm now.

Thanks :) I'm hoping to put that heat-dispenser (8800GTX) onto watercooling pretty soon. I have a DD NV-88GTX WB. But i think it'll suck. So, i might get a EK or use one of my multiple MCW60s.Quote:

Danger Den make good stuff. People like to be hatahs but don't let that get you down. So maybe an EK will get u 2c diff and maybe not. DD stands behind their stuff and is constantly working to improve and redesign for improved performance while maintaining a reasonable price.Quote:

I know it supposed to be fan>shroud>rad, but I have to sacrifice performance (for now) to get it to fit underneath the "cupboard" after I use the comp. Notice I already took off the case's feet.Quote:
