@Disruptfam, I really like you new build!! It looks so awesome and very unique!

@CD, you build custom cases for a living or something? Your really good at it!!!

You've all inspired me to post some pics of the build my dad and I just finished...
Here ya go:

The casing is a bit messy with finger prints, but oh well..

Here she is with the lights...

Heres the 20.1 incher, we kept this from our old build (sorry for blurry pic)

Heres our mini res/filltank

And the big res... 1.5 gal.

Heres our custom built temp watching thingy

. It shows the CPU, NB, SB, GPU's, in and out coolant temps etc.
Top ones the CPU, second is 1st VGA, third is the 2nd VGA, forth ones the NorthB, fifth is SouthB, and sixth is water out temp. (the rad tells us the water in temp.)

Also serves as our power button

(the button is from a Honda S 2000)

Heres our rad. (it's the old Corsair Hydro Cool 200EX, still works great!)

Heres another pic of the inside (I know, it's a bit messy)

We w/c'ed all the main stuff, both VGA's, CPU, NorthB and SouthB.

Specs:
Lian Li 65 Series Case (it's an older LL case w/removable mobo tray)
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
AMD 6000+
2GB Corsair XMS (PC-6400)
2x EVGA 8600GTS 512MB
Antec 850W PSU
Audigy ZS 2 Sound Card
Hydracool 200EX w/ 1.5 gal Acrylic Reservoir
Dell FP2001 20” LCD

Well, thats all for now fellas!

Do you have problems pulgging in your monitor or other items because of the fan mount and rad?

Can you post a couple of pics of the clearance in the back?

Thanks.

**taylormsj** · 12-20-2007, 08:23 AM

Yes id also like to know about the clearance, just watched your case on youtube

its good

**~~Xilikon~~** · 12-20-2007, 08:24 AM

Lloyd, turn the Fuzion 90 degrees so the outer barb is to the left instead of the right. I did the same error and after doing that, it doesn't cross now

Beside that, it's nice

I think it would look better too

he's right

**ka lok** · 12-20-2007, 01:43 PM

Still tinkering and cleaning up!

Just figured out that i can use original tj07 HDD cage in the 5.25" bays without any mods or drills! Excellent!!

**pattherat111** · 12-20-2007, 07:40 PM

nice build
the white lights and coloured coolant is a very good mix i think

**Talonman** · 12-20-2007, 08:11 PM

I think it looks sharp. Sweet wire management too, nice and clean.

**Pharoahe808** · 12-20-2007, 08:45 PM

Here's my contribution to the thread. Long time lurker, first water cooling system. Starting out simple, with cpu only loop. Some things I forgot to do: Make an extension from the rpm of the dcc to the cpu header, sleeve my ghetto hard drive cooler's wires, and rotate it so the wires are closer to the other side. Placement of the T-line isn't aesthetically pleasing imo. If theres anything I could improve on, please let me know!

**Nate P.** · 12-20-2007, 08:49 PM

Nice build! Is that the G92 8800GTS?

**Pharoahe808** · 12-20-2007, 08:53 PM

Yes it is. At first I wanted a GTX but when I heard a new GTS was to be released after the GT, I waited. My wallet thanked me

i have the same theme as your coloured loops with white light...

thing is those white light are so damn BRIGHT!!!!!

i have them off half the time lol

**ka lok** · 12-21-2007, 10:08 AM

Thanx for the comments guys.

I agree with disruptfam with these white ccfls, can give you quite a tan on one side of your face if turned on indefinitely!

Hi, nice clean build you got there!

One thing I found with my TJ07 is that you can hide the HDD cage fan wire using the gap at the bottom of the 5.25" bay so that it runsinto the bottom compartment instead of hanging around in the top compartment.

**spider_d** · 12-21-2007, 12:41 PM

@ Pharoahe808 and ka lok,

Can you show me any more pictures and the wire management? Back side of the board? Build logs? Radiator T-line pump placement?

I am about to change boards in my TJ07 and drill the MB tray. I could use all the inspiration that I can get. Feel free to PM me any tips.

**Pharoahe808** · 12-21-2007, 01:17 PM

Thanks ka lok, thats definitely way better than how I have it now. Now I just need a way to hide that hideous T-line lol

@spider_d: My cable management was completely inspired by AndyM, but I can take a few pics for your when I get home if you're still interested.

**welshtom** · 12-21-2007, 01:19 PM

Few things still to do but its nearly there

The red and black is very sexy. How are the fans on the PA120.3 oriented?

Blowing into the case

**ls206** · 12-21-2007, 02:33 PM

Hot stuff there welshtom, love the reservoirs and the fuzion.

**Garrett** · 12-21-2007, 02:45 PM

I'm sorry I hate the color scheme lol... but the interior is very well done, clean etc... nice backplate-like mosfet coolers too

Hi there

Dont really have a work log as such but did get loads of good ideas from diff people (AndyM and Ladderman to name a few)

Do have a few pics of the back panel and lower compartment. Will take a few more tom as well!

Basically I made 4x1 inch holes in the MB tray using a holesaw and plugged them with rubber gromets (1 for CPU power, MB power, Video card and jumpers).

Have also made a 3 inch hole in the gulley of the divider behind the MB tray using a dremel and a reinforced cutting disc.

I also used door stops to prop up the rad. Had to drill 4x holes in the bottom of the case to secure them.

Hope this helps. Good luck with the modding!
