Nice, any idea what colour coolant you're going to use with that? Looking good so far.

[awhir]

[joecop120]

I am also officially jealous. It's been below freezing here for weeks, and I have no garage to work in I've got a tarp over a table!

Coming along beautifully man, although I would go with something other than the hydrx. It works fine as an anti-corrosive, but the color leaves something to be desired IMO. It looks a lot like antifreeze, which is a bit murky for my tastes... better off with some dye.

That's just nitpicky though, beautiful job so far... wish I could apply paint evenly.

[rsmaverick]

Very nice! Heh Phelan I was gonna ask the same thing. We were hitting -34Celcius. Not fun!

[welshtom]

Very good

All cases look better black inside! and with a chilled pc rad grill of course

[darkorb]

nice work

on the rad, i noticed 2 fans are blowing and 1 sucking, accident ?

[Jedda]

The A70 is a very nice design. Great price too. Sold out here in Oz.

You've got a nice build going there.

Need to cover those fan wires, though. I hate the spokes showing.

[Paxi]

Looks very nice, got the same Case and it really rocks
Looking forward on your build.

[Paxi]

Any updates ?

[awhir]

hey guys finished it awhile back and now the dust is creeping in so said id take a few pic's

[RockfordFosgate]

Lian Li power one more time

Good modding job & painting

[3lfk1ng]

Nice job... very clean.

[FallenCow]

Very well done mate! I'm definitely digging that case.

[Waterlogged]

NeoHE550 FTW!

I love these little bada PSU's, have 3 and haven't been let down yet.

Rest of the build is very clean...me likey.
