@ 4Qman: try to put this thermochill onto top (the dual!), that will give you back 5 drive bays and put this single to the backside, you´ll need one fan less and will have nearly no temp growings (you can fit the dual internally too!)
i´ll get a new triple on monday and i´ve got plans to fit it internally on top ba turning the power supply 90° and put the power cord onto the right side (will also make it moreeasy to plug in this damn modular power cords (i´m starting to hate them:( )
the front metal guard looks very good but how about dust?:confused:
oh wait, i was planning on doing this, but supn just occurred to me....Quote:

Also mate the fans are set to blow and the front and suck in from the rear, I have the window open and get good temps like 18-20oC idle on this water setup. So dust is ok. U like the Yellow?
yeh i like it, it´s done with an airbrush?Quote:

u think power cord to top, right or left is the best?
first i thought right would be the best, but with a bit more modding i could hang it onto top what would look cooler. furthermore i´m a bit afraid of this thin aluminium walls so top mounting into a steel-plate would be much better:rolleyes:
what do you think about?
PS: i love this armor you can do a lot of modding with it, muc better than my old chieftech mesh:p:

I done the yellow from Tin mate. LMAO, looks good then again it took 2 atemps.:D I used Clear lacker on it after so gives the smooth effect.Quote:

mmmh will think over night:(
tomorrow i´ll take my rig to my dad where i´ll mod for 2 days as i havent got a lot of tools at my home;) , so pics will follow monday or so;)
well i think that the heat should exhaust to the top and the ps-fan shzould suck cold air from the back, that should be the best i think and then i don´t have to cut my doors wich are much harder to replace than a top:rolleyes:

ya me also
i am searchign for this h/s right now :)
well post it when you find it homie. im thinkin it IS the swiftie sink they recently released with the fan taken off the top
Actually, that's the older revision chipset cooler. This is the recent revision one:Quote:

It was made from a passive aerocool vga cooler.
yea i figured i was gonna cop the new swifite. i jsut need to make sure it will ffit with both my GT's in there. bu it seems like a WAY better course of action for me than :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing with the zalman (ewww)
the heatpipe one looks nice. i was looking at the thermalright -05 one too hmmmz.
/me thinks i need to see all of your cooling solutions for ideas!
ok, here is what im sayin: the ends of cards have the long heatsink (the one you have upgraded with the copper fins) + large caps

so lookin at some pics i can seee that it wont fit in neatly like yours did :( i would have to cut quite a few more pins out from the swiftie sink :(

(by teh way, i will be posting updated shots as i redo my loop and go from a 120x2 to a PA 120.3! --- so its not TOTALLY o/t)
Get yourself one of these (my current chipset cooler). You can find them @ performance-pc's, I think.Quote:

there is about 2 cm space between the rear fan and the power supply which should be enough for most of the radiators:

the rear will get a fan gurad as it isn´t looking very nice...:
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/5312/imgp29405ce.jpg
well it´s not visible on the first pic but i did remove the whole color of the top as i made some scratches in it, but for me the blank alu looks much better than this ugly silver color:p:
if there is anything to make better tell it, i´ll fix it:)
PS: older pics on page number 47;), and sorry for crappy images, something is wrong with my camera...

Here are pics of my first WC rig. It worked pretty well - lowered my CPU temps around 4deg C and was able to fit it all in the case with the single BIX rad.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...06NewPC004.jpg
I decided to upgrade to a PA120.2 and mount the rad outside the case to improve cooling. I am really happy with the performance of this set-up - 4deg lower CPU temps and much better case air-flow.
(Excuse the messy wiring, I need to pick-up some more sleeving and do some more tucking.)

Cooling Impacts (during load):
...........Air Cooling..........Single BIX..........PA120.2
CPU............54...................50............ ........46
GPU's..........68...................46............ ........42
Air cooling was with XP-90 CPU heatsink and Arctic NV5 Silencers.
Got my new Tt Tai-Chi tower:

wow rekless. thats a complete nest of wires. the split loom is suppose to help your cabling. try shoving some wires into the back of the case.
I agree, it is a mess. I just purchased an OCZ520 PSU to replace the Antec TPII. I plan to spend a weekend modding the new unit to minimize all of the excess wiring. Hopefully this will neaten-up my rig and help air-flow.
