I just finished this build on Monday, and am now working on overclocking and testing the hardware.

The complete project log, from start to finish and including everything, can be viewed at Techgage.

I want to thank:
AndyM for posting his TJ07 project, featuring the best cable management I’ve seen.
MartinM210 for his MCP655 porting guide (you can see how I did mine in the log), his flow rate estimator, and his research on elbow performance.

Finished pics:













It weighs in at 63lbs

which is actually 4lb lighter than my previous setup.

Specs as follows:
Hardware:
Q6600 (lapped)
ABIT IP35-Pro
EVGA 8800GTX
4x1gb OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 (only $50/2gb AR!)
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1000W PSU
2x WD Raptor 150s
and some other crap.

Cooling:
2x Swiftech MCR320s
Swiftech MCR220
2x Swiftech MCP655s
D-tek Fusion CPU Block
Swiftech MCW60 GPU block
EK Multioption 250 reservoir
0.5” x 0.75” tubing in the base, 7/16” x 5/8” tubing on the motherboard

In the future I may attach the fill port to the top of the reservoir instead of on the side, and I might try to hide the PCI Express cables a little better (for AndyM), and if I get really ambitious I might try to make a cleaner looking aluminum plate to hide cables/mount the res, but for now, I think it looks pretty freaking nice.
