    Man, i say it again. I never seen something like that. The attention to details is just amazing as well as the cuts, plumbing and all the other work into the case. This computer is worth more than any other just by it's incredible look. I'm just stunned every time i go through these pics. Just insane, really.

    Xtremely incredible work virtualrain! Congrats for the Million Dollar PC as well!

    Amazing!! Best build Iv seen so far!
    Loonym...You are missed.

    The element of one

    Breathe me in
    Breathe me in

    I disbelieve in separation. I close my eyes to see you.
    This is for you, everything I am. This is for you, take it from me.
    I, I disbelieve separation. I close my eyes
    there's no escaping me
    This is for you, everything I am. This is for you, take it from me.
    In your heart in your soul. I perceive rejuvenation

    Breathe me in. I am forever. Deep within I am eternal.

    I will return to you. I am with you always. I will never turn away from you.

    Quick question Virtualrain, and sorry if I missed this somewhere in the threads, but did you have to double up on the o-rings for the compression fittings? I was planning on doing the same with a GTX and the ones I have don't seem to seat very well.

    Hmm... No... I didn't do anything special with the o-rings on my compression fittings... they seemed to do the job well.

    Dude i cant seem to stop looking at this PC. I want to do something like it without copying it. But anything that i do will fall in comparison to this magnificent build, all i have to say is it is the most beautiful comp..... that I know of. I cant wait until you build your next rig to see what it will looks like. Keep it up man your builds are GREAT!!!!!!!!!

    If this were my mod, I would take that as an insult.

    If he wanted to emulate a MM case, he would have made a simple box out of aluminium and used thumbscrews to attach four panels to the frame.

    Instead he chose a case with refined looks and real design. Precision bent aluminium panels that slot onto the case, only using two thumbscrews to secure it.

    Not using some bloody cow boy method of having eye sore thumbscrews sticking out left right and center.

    The only MountainMod "mods" you see around are paint changes, sleeving fans and chucking a load of hardware inside. Boring.

    I would love Jeremy Clarkson to review a Mountain Mods case, he would probably describe it in the same light as he does American cars.

    If it ain't watercooled, I don't wanna know.

    Nice bump of (2) LiLi 343 builds, though...
    haha I didn't know. I was just wondering because I'm doing a 343b mod pretty similar to this, except with white paint and probably the Techflex Carbon Fiber sleeving (http://www.techflex.com/prod_CFN.asp) but I was tempted to buy this if it was so cheap; the CF sleeving is $70 for 25ft

    WOW!!!! Looks great. how did you get windows to look like that with the OS X inspired dock on the bottom?

    Also, how is the Dell 30" monitor. I am thinking about getting two of them.

    in case you didn't see the post above you... he apparently doesn't check out XS very much anymore. To answer your question though, you can download a program called RK Launcher. you can download it here (http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/)
