Well, got the new Storm rev.2 & BIP I in. Opted for a T-line this time instead of a bay res. Was interesting filling the system...

I am by means no photographer.

My setup its swiftech apex kit with the storm block and the MCW55 vga block i also put that 90mm fan out of my case which was at the top there to cool that down cos it used to be real hot to touch now its not also is my loop in the right order

Yep, you guessed it. Well a MCP655 to be more exact, but the same thing really. It's on the bottom of the case in front (In drive by area)

Nice, but those hose clamps... I think worm is much more secure, right?

I have metal worm clamps on the inlet and outlet of the pump.

nicksterr .... exactly how hard is it to get the zip ties off whenever you change components?

**Nicksterr** · 02-28-2006, 02:02 PM

not hard at all, takes a matter of seconds. I just clip them with my pliers.

This is my water cooled computer, I redid my original kit - a Kingwin Arctic Liquid Cooler with a car heatercore and longer tubing so I can put the radiator out my window in winter, sort of a winter water chilling. I can lower my cpu temperatures 21'F (12'C) before condensation starts forming on my water blocks. The specs for my system are listed in my signature. I can run my Athlon XP 2500+ to the speed of a 2800+ on the stock vcore but never really tried serious overclocking. My 6600 GT can overclock from stock 500/900 to 590/1093 almost 100mhz core and 300mhz on memory

And excuse the crappy pictures, my digital camera sucks and doesn't have a focus.

The whole system - btw, those are blue led christmas lights

:

From side:

The tower - The top unit is a Pioneer TX-960 digital radio tuner and the bottom is a Acoustic AI frequency equalizer and spectrum display, both units are connected through my audio card, my subwoofer is under the desk. The stuff on top is a 10gb portable laptop hard drive i made for less than $20 including hard drive from garage sale, a starting capacitor from an air conditioner, some cds and some blank cd's as well as some electronic christmas trees that blink when you hook them to a 9v battery:

My EL keyboard with modded num/caps/scroll lock leds - they were originally green:

An inside shot, it's hard to see but the PSU lights up (threw some blue leds in):

My external radiator with 120mm fan - and my cat

@ Sveinbra
I like. I want to mount my dual120mm rad in the top of my stacker like you have your triple but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it.

Cover the top with masking-tape, measure out where you need to cut the hole, take out your Dremel multitool and cut away!

Of course you need to remove everything inside the case first..

And you might have to put the PSU in the bottom of the case if you dont have room for it at the top, after you install the dualrad, but that is easy too..
You just drill out the "ribbits" that is holding the "PSU cover/frame" in place and remove it..

Hope this helps a little...

**A Scream** · 03-02-2006, 04:13 PM

My first WC job! The WC is complete but I'm missing some black zips, my 4pin molex's, and a UV light. Otherwise the case is finished.

**creidiki** · 03-02-2006, 04:31 PM

Bet you 10$ your temps wont shift for worse if you take off that single at the back. ;p

**A Scream** · 03-02-2006, 04:34 PM

probably, but I like to turn off the other fans and leave that one on low. Plus the tension from the cpu to GPU card was kinda high, so I opted to put that pressure somewhere else.
