Shoggy, I like how you put all the cables out of view of the window. Not necessarily managed, but just good looking.

Agreed, looks very nice. Also love the Sandwich'd HDD :rofl:.Quote:

can anyone remember who posted the PC-343B with the phase unit coming from over the other side, and had watercooling on the remaining components?
or if not, anyone saved them maybe and can post them??

Wow! Some very creative angles on such a beautiful build! ^
Here's my X1000 build :)

Wow, I always thought the PC-X1000 was massive, but it actually looks manageable in that picture. Liking them more and more.
Thats some awesome work, but is a dual rad enough, or is there one more which cant be seen in the pics?

Nope its a Koolance HX-CU1402V, with 30 fpi :)Quote:

Interesting bit of info there too, the second part. I had been wondering about that in conjunction with the X1000.
Koolance's rads kind of mimic HWLabs ones (they have similar to GTS thin 30mm rads with 30FPI and full thickness 20FPI like GTX), IIRC they lack silent fan rads though in their line (like SR1).
The core on the Koolance rads is the exact same core on the GTS. The only thing different about them is the end tanks. If your looking for a quiet cooling solution, better look elsewhere for your rad. . .I suggest Swiftech MCR.
A little background:
Last year, I had to construct a new PC. Weighing cost, performance and price, I settled on a i7 920 2.66ghz + GTX295 video card.
The graphic card had a fan/heatsink setup that ramped up during extensive usage and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner even though it was 2 meters away. The temps were high, 55c on idle and 91c on load. The noise got to me eventually. I needed a system to be fast and quiet (like a mac :D). I started research on water cooling a year back in Sept09.
With great advice from folks at OCF, RRTech & XS (esp Conumdrum, Spawn & Red), I took the plunge in April this year. Got MCR320 Drives that's a 3 in 1 system that included pump, radiator and reservoir. It was a simple setup for a newbie.
My current Lian Li case is way too small for the wc stuff. :p It's a bit of a Frankenstein setup but it's good for testing and learning. I will be looking into making a custom case in about 6 months.
Current temperature for CPU on load is on low 60s (10c difference from air cooling). GPU is running at 40c idle (~20c difference). I haven't had to the chance to test it on BFBC2.
It looks hideous but this system is way quieter than the old one. :D

^ Your memory cooling tubing is very uniform! Like it !
I should add mine too! This is mkII after my 775 died, upgraded to i7 and made a few improvements. Pretty similar layout to tipgo's except my rad is along the top.
