Farmerbrown: love that build.. but the coils looks like you have candy canes in your rig!! lol
I use coils and I'm in the US. I've done multiple loops where the tubing was fine and then developed a kink down the line. The coils fix that. Then again I don't upgrade as quickly as most here, when I build something I expect to run it into the ground and when it's done I put linux on it and the box joins the horde so I'm probably more prone to this issue than most.
Some seriously amazing builds in here, well done!! Will get a few pics up of some of my watercooled machines when I can although they are not on the same level as most of these! :clap:

It seems that some have not read the rulesQuote:
Four Simple Rules:
1) No larger than 1280 x 1024 pixel (but 1024 x 768 pixel is preferred),
2) The limit on the number of pictures is 4 per case (if you want to post more than 4 pictures, use thumbnails or post links without using the IMG tags),
3) Do not quote images,
4) Finished cases only, no worklogs.
Optionally, it would be nice if you could list your water cooling components.
I'll put my hat in the ring.

system gross weight: about 30kg :D
....absolutely quiet of course. :)
Have a nice day!
Nice, what are your temps (and ambients) ?
Thanks! :)
The temps of this system highly depends on the environmental temperature and the RPMs of the 3 fan. I can set the RPMs manually with the knob on the back side.
In summer, when the outside temp was about 28 celsius than the load (gaming) temp was the following: CPU about 45-50 celsius GPU about 53-58 celsius. Without any tuning and the funs were on lowest RPM.
The minimal temps in idle mode and with 23 celsius outside temp are about 35-38 cesius by the CPU and GPU also (Funs on lowest RPM).
So, there is no problem with the temps at all. It is very good and stable system. :)
Sorry for my english.
Just built this on Saturday using some of MagisD's old stuff I bought. Sorry for the bad camera pics.

@ VIPER.... Will do when I get home from work. The top can hold a 240 rad BUT you have to use a thin one if you want fans on it. The case is a very nice case though. Very clean and very tidy. Sorry for the bad pic but i have a crappy camera.

I'm very satisfied again. :)
Let me know if you have questions.
Parallel.
Total parallel :D

Ive tought about all parallel before, but never seen anybody doing it. How are your temperatures? Can you give details on your loop?
http://imageshack.us/a/img89/8818/p1180369x.jpg
I understand that there are many questions about this solution.
I'm not a theorist, I want to try it in practice
and prepared to do so properly.
Someone had to finally take practice tests ... to find answers.
Work in progress, I decided to use a very strong pumps.
Koolance 450 Strong x2
Iwaki RD-30
Swiftech 35X turbo
After testing will present the results.
Prodigy from thai :D

@Elder: looks like it's a very non-restrictive loop. Higher flow pumps should get the best results
That is gorgeous!
But, is that a kink in the hose going from CPU block to RAM block or am I seeing things?
Fractal Design Arc with 360 rad in the roof, 240 rad in the front, 120 rad i in bottom! Still some tweaking to be done but the major mods are done.

Gee... seeing all the incredible builds in this post makes my new build seem almost insignificant.
I just added water cooling... and made a build log in the build log section so I can keep track of everything I do.
But here is a quick taste of my 140.3 internal radiator build:
http://keithlm.smugmug.com/Other/Ove...7_270028-M.jpg
Thanks. I originally had a dual bay res but it didn't fit properly and vibrated the whole case to bits!
Some more pictures of how its setup in the front.. pretty tight fit, I almost managed to tighten all the fittings without cutting a hole into the top!

http://i.imgur.com/duroy.jpg
Yep! I know its overkill, I intended to cool the GPU and board but turns out there aren't waterblocks for either of them. Using Thermalright X-Silent 120/140s at low speed.

Nice ante_ante!
Will have new pic?s of mine, as sone as i get well (halsfluss)
nice builds guys!!
@ k.3nny : can you tell us what kinda tubing and fittings did you use ?
Now I feel healthy, so here are some pictures of the updates.

Xtremly nice build u got there Conman :)
@CoNMan --> Sometimes the LED light system in a case can be a hit or miss, but with your color selection it looks great in your case!!! Is that a grey or white LED?
Sorry, kinda color blind which doesn't help for picking color themes for a system! The dark red makes the case look much more evil due to not being able to see many of the components other than the red tubing pumping fluid thru the beast!
Thank you ante_ante and fuzelogic
The led is nzxt white led strip.
Awesome machines, guys, really! :up::clap:
Those are some nice builds. Here is my rig, still not done but getting there.

No where near as pro as a lot of these builds, but I don't think it's too bad for my first water cooling attempt, please don't judge too harshly...

dude... why would you buy some many connectors while simple tubing would do the job with less leack risk??? :confused:
'couse I love "bling bling", haha no I'm just kidding.
The truth is that my project i inspired to a Japanese deity "AMATERASU-SAMA" and then I need to represent her symbol: the sun, so I need to have a lot of fittings to represent it, and then I will have a fullfittings rig...
might wanna get gold-platted copper tubing then ! ;)
