That's a hell of a lot of cables. It makes my old server (don't have it anymore) look neat. I thought that my cable management was bad :shakes:. Why do you need that many HDDs?
These are scsi cables not sata they only come in certain lengths and they cost £60 each. Obviously you dont know a lot about scsi systems. I'm wasting my time explaining to you why the cables are the way they are. It would different if it were Sata cable based but it isnt, I wouldnt swap sata for my scsi setups anyday.
Are you able to mount the hdd's in reverse?Quote:

I'm thinking if so - you could most probably hide majority of that behind the case and motherboard panels.
I have looked at that, but im not to worried its cool running and I dont look at the inners too much, i'm restricted by the cable lengths and the number of headers on each cable. if I were tobuy custom scsi cables the price would rocket im sure. For that reason i'll stay with itthe way it is untill I get a Lian ki 343 later.Quote:

No I do its just that cables have to cross as seen in pic with scsi as the controllers are mounted on the bus rather than with sata off to the side. I would like to get a larger case at some point. I have been looking at the Lian li 343.Quote:

I get sustained reads of 215mb a sec, but having hardware controllers and configuring them the way I have its extremly fast in loading and saving files.
The difference over the past 10000 rpm drives I have owned is quite a gap in performance. I get 4.6ms access times and hell of lot more speed. Especially over some of the IBM DYDS drives I had.
Just clean the rest of it up and take the critisism :)
very common , but effective
kolombo mate your fan is almost as dirty and covered with dust like mine...but only almost!
@kolombo: a few squirts from a can of compressed air/air compressor on that radiator will improve your temps quite a bit, the fins look to be almost completely clogged :(

Zeus, good look with the Armor. What are you using to mount your radiator in the front? I currently use zip ties but am looking for a more 'sturdy' mounting method.
Oh alright, your dad is or was living in Putten. I thought you would still have family around here. That pc gear is very expensive indeed!!!! I bought my Fuzion for less than half that price. If you place a big order its almost worth it to travel this way, buy your gear and still have money left. Kidding, I know its expensive because my cousin travelled last christmas to New-Zealand for two weeks with a very high priced ticket. Nonetheless he thought it was worth it cause the country must be very beautifull (nature, people and culture).Quote:

how do u like that mobo thatguy16?
I love it :up:
I'm having some problems trying to get 4.4ghz though. Even though i can get 4.3 stable at 1.36v
I'm hoping its just user error :shrug:
ok, i was just wondering cause im between that board and a Asus P5E
I have trouble with this board... Keep cooking the "R50" PWM's or whatever they are. Its annoying the crap out of me, have to keep voltages at a min to not get them cooking and thermal shutdown. I would rather an ASUS to be honest. I would have had one, but gigabyte seemed to have the right offerring, though I'm not satisfied.Quote:

Nice rig! :)
@ThatGuy16 - That looks really good. Amazing cable management :up:
Here is my first loop
Lots of work, lots of money and patience to wait for the things to arrive to my country...none of those could be fine here....but worth it every minute ;)

Hey Sergio! I have the same thing as you! A watercooled Antec 900 with the swiftech H20-220 (not the 330 radiator)!
I want more pics on your setup!
Nice rig sergio!
I have the "R50" one, are they bad? i seem to be hitting a wall around 485+ fsb. Unless it is voltage.Quote:

A couple pics of the inside... Post anything you want, I dont care! They're all awesome!
@andressergio - That is the best WC'ed Antec 900 I have ever seen. I'm also really looking forward to more pictures.
What radiator have you got in there Zeus? is it on the front?
nice rigQuote:

i really don't want to do that, as my drill is a biatch :(
Yes, you have to drill them. You cannot bend the tubing all the way around without kinking it...
Here is my first wc rig. I originally planned on two loops. I actually have everything for two loops but was unable to get it all in the case, so I opted for a single loop just to see how things go. I still have to add some lights and get my window for the cosmos, but this will be ok for now. My temps so far go from 30 to 41 degrees Celsius on my CPU, and stay around the same on the gpu's. I haven't ran anything like prime to test the temps out yet, maybe I will in the future, but I don't really have intention on overclocking.

can we get more pics how you mounted the rad in the top?
I love the look of those boards. That looks amazing spoony. You should replace the stock gold galaxy fan guard with a silver or painted black one. :). Well, maybe not usually fan guard mods make the general mod look bad, so maybe the gold should stay. Just a thought.:up:
It's a thermochill PA 120.2 with 4x Yate loon push-pull in the front of the case.Quote:

A 120.3 should have been better but it's not possible to fit it in unless i bin the optical drive. Not an option really.
I want everything inside the case so i have to make do with this.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am glad you like it.
The radiator is just a swiftech mcr320 QP. I will post pictures of how it is mounted when I get home this afternoon. I really was worried about the EK supreme causing flow problems so I have two MCP355 pumps with XPC res tops in the loop. According the flow rate estimator I am getting about 1.4 gpm.
The case is just a coolermaster cosmos. I painted the inside flat black because I didn't like the metal look on the inside.
looks awesome spoony very sleek very clean just the way i like my pc's :)
I see you sleeved your 6pin and mobo power connectors must of been a pita ?
Looks great though One of my fav cosmos!
I like the outcome of the sleeving process, but about halfway through it I was beginning to doubt my efforts. It is very time consuming and hurts the fingers. I ended up just buying new connectors, pins, and a crimping tool to do the job.
yeh those pins are a bugger to get out, so i had to splice and re wire mine, the outcome in your build looks awesome tho
This is the best picture I have as to how I mounted the radiator. I just cut a piece out that would allow air to flow through the entire radiator and drilled holes to mount it. You can also see where I cut a spot in the bottom to house the pa120.2. My rookie building, modding, wc'ing showed up when I started to put the two loops in only to find out it wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to. I ended up having to fabricate a piece to cover up the hole I had cut in the bottom.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...new_comp03.jpg
excellent work on the paint job looks flawless
sergio, very nice work there :up:
I took a few more, this is the best i could do without major case mods :p:
I was going to drill holes in the back of the case for the tubing, i went to two hardware stores and couldn't find the right size bits :down:

Thanks pal yours also and brave to make things order in that case, seems smaller than mine...Quote:

I think it's clear tubing with black coolant. Look in the reservoir; you'll see that the coolant in it is black.Quote:

It isn't black tubing. When you look at his reservoir, the coolant inside is black.
Also, I think he's using a MCP350/355 with one of those XSPC reservoir tops.
Oh crap, didn't notice that lol. Well I know they (tygon) makes black tubing as well....
It's black feser one coolant with tygon tubing. There are two mcp355 pumps in the loop, both have the xspc res tops. I actually had the bitspower compression fittings for the thick walled 1/2 tubing to use, but they don't fit past the graphics card on the back of the gpu water block so I decided to use the high flow fittings I had. Before I refill the loop I will try and get some extensions so I can use those fittings.
I was under the impression that was grounds for a ban on XS.;)Quote:

I just used spray paint to paint the case. The paint and primer were rust-oleum and the clear coat was some other brand I got at lowes.
Primer:

Spoony,
Great job on the system. What barbs did you get for the xspc top?
Thanks
I originally had bitspower compression fittings, but changed them to bitspower high flow fittings. The change wasn't because of any issues with xspc top though, so if you prefer those fittings they will work fine.
How does the paint hold?Quote:

I think the primer is to blame, acid etchprimer would have been better i reckon but that doesn't come in spraycans as it is 2 components.
Nice job on your case btw. ;)
I noticed before I put the clear coat on it scratched very easy, but afterwards the paint held up way better.
clear coat will solve most any flaking issues, as will a good self etching primer or a well prepped case with a normal prime.
And I thought there were new pictures added. Silly me.
