Now sell that GTX280 you have lying around and get wet! :p:
You know ive been thinking about water, but im more of an air guy i guess, i did water once, didnt like it much. The difference was so minimum.
Yeah good air cooling is pretty close to a decent wc set up.
once the side panel is on, you cant see anything inside. Im going to switch to clear fluid since the 'Blood Red' didnt exactly come out quite as i expected. I have a mini red CCFL, but i havent put it in yet.
Right now im running dual E5430s clocked out to 3.0 or so. Memory is at 16, but i have two removed because i didnt get the right ram block. I switched components mid-way through the build so things arent quite as i planned them out. I need to get dual 3-way ram blocks instead of the dual 4-ways that i originally purchased. Once i get that i can put the ram back up to 24Gb. Vid is a 4870
Eh clearly you haven't seen a wind tunnel. Yes I know 50dBa is loud and while I cannot hear anything out of my right ear it shows how awesome air cooling can be.
WHAATTTT? What is it you say Sniipe? Where is my grandpa ear phone speaker thingie?
:p:
If you have enough cash to go tri SLI or CF, you can go water because temps are woeful with multiple cards like you said. :D
I'm definitely maxing it... will be doing the interior later.
WTF is that?
the cooler monster? :shocked:
I just picked it up yesterday! Awesome case, this thing moves air and is DEAD quite even with those big 230mm fans!
So after 6 hours of building, here it is....
Painted inside purple!

Finished with cable mangement. I did not like the red LED fan in front, so I removed the red LEDs , and swapped the clear fan to the side window.
I also added my own filters to the front intake.

I really don't like the color, nor do the combination of green and orange fan.:( I think it looks better stock. But I like what you did with air filter in the front fan.
That's different but err it does stand out amongst the rest of HAF builds.
@Random1zer
those are wire looms (split loom i believe), you see these a lot in car installations. You can pick the loom up in different sizes at a lot of different places. good idea, btw, really makes the wire management look great.:up:
thanks for the response, i found some here:

but what size should i use, and how do i make it fit over the connectors? Especially the big 24 pin power cord?
