Hey all, I've managed to finally round up all the parts I've been waiting/collecting for some time now, and I thought I'd share the leak test with you before the final article is complete!

My previous setup consisted of a Thermaltake Symphony, which truly is a thing of beauty. There's not many bad things said about it in reviews, but it becomes obvious fairly quickly that the whole system is restricted by 1/4"ID tubing, and tiny holes used in the reservoir.

I love this baby though, it's 4ft tall, 5x120mm fans, and WAS silent as a mouse, until the dual series pumps began making a complete racket that drove everybody in my flat nuts. SO out with the old, in with the new!
new toys:

D-Tek Fuzion v2 with quad midplate
on a q6600, previously at ~30deg 3.75GHz with the Thermaltake block, might hit 4 now?)
EK G92 8800gts 512mb block
Haven't cooled a GFX before, but this thing was LOUD
Maximus Extreme Mobo w/ 6gb ddr3 @ 1333
will be using the stock NB cooling block, I know there are less restrictive solutions, but it was fine before and I've got a meaty flow with this pump)
2x Laing DDC3.2 in series on an alphacool hardwareluxx dual top
completely silent! I chose this because I am pushing a huge loop with this setup

Anyway, here's the leak test currently taking place on my dishwasher in the kitchen:


It's on the dishwasher in the kitchen, connected to our Kitchen PC - the product of the combined boredom of my flatmate and myself in combination with many spare parts - it's got 5.1 surround and accesses videos/music from 4 computers in the house via WMP or Itunes

I removed the reservoir and pumps from this cavity to replace with an EK reservoir, there is a plate to cover this (rear view currently anyway)

dual pumps, these will be mounted in 5.25" bays

thought you might like a better look at our kitchen PC - it's syled as a mac as a long-running joke on one of my flatmates who loves them, personally they are not for me, but styling XP exactly like one is fun for the kitchen and confuses many people. Oh and the laser keyboard - tried using a keyboard whilst cooking? Doubles as a touch pad, works perfectly.

When i'm not sapping the PSU, the kitchen PC (or "Cookatron 9000") is completely hidden but for the screen + projection keyboard

Tomorrow I'll mount it all inside my case, which is in the background of the 2nd pic, there's a few modifications i've made to that which you might be interested in, I'll show you later!
