Water Cooled Case Gallery

Ok,
So I need some opinions on the color of the coolant for the case. I haven't filled the loop yet, so I can change my mind if I decide too. Right now I was thinking of blue with the idea that it wouldn't blend in and get lost. However, I don't know if that will look good or not. Here are a couple of other ideas for the coolant color:

1 - blood red.

2 - straight distilled water no coloring.

3 - straight distilled water and color tubing. Either red or blue.

4 - black.

Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,

Utnorris

I think the blood red coolant color its going to be better in this case. Because you got the case painted on red....
The black color its a second option....

My first watercooled PC:

here is mine...
sorry for the low quality photos...







it seems to hold under load very good...
my 8800GT at 740-1836-939 has 30 idle and 33 load...
unfortunately i cannot see the temps on my 8400 because of the bad sensor...

Got really tired of my old loop, so had to re do it. Esp tired of the micro res, ugh. So i got myself an ek res, cute little thing. Also got tired of my rad pulling in tons of dust so moved it to the front instead.
sorry for the craptastic pics, taken with my cellphone cam.

old loop:




new loop, work in progress. the res is hanging from a couple of stripes, the pump is just resting on the petrastech gelpad thingy, cable management, sleeving, the paint on the inside is in pretty bad shape, etc hehe. I've repainted it on the outside, got some more work (the top "cap" is gonna be painted black etc), but I like the white/black combo so far..

AND i'm fed up with the 1/2" masterkleer. it's a paint to work with. gonna order some 3/8" tygon and compression fittings and get it over with. and drop the rheobus for something more clean, cause it looks like crap hehe

Coolermaster 690 Watercooled:

Motherboard:Asus P5k Pro
Processor:Quadcore Q6600
Memory:Crucial Tracers 2 x 1gb pc6400 5-5-5-15
Graphics:Gainward 8800GT 512 Bliss
Cooling:Custom Danger Den set

More Cooling is coming since i'm a tester for watercooling @ a dutch website. So expect an extra dual black ice xtreme rad + graphics and NB cooling.







If you want more photos, just pm me

I like what you did with the 690, especially the cover for the drive bays. How is the airflow with the rad at the bottom like that?

Thanks,

Just excellent really. I have 2 noctua fans on the top (120mm) that are taking in and taking out air, also my videocard takes out hot air from the rad.

Best about my setup is that i have a EXCELLENT Q6600 check out the next screenshot:

[disruptfam]

what are your 1hour prime load small ffts temps?

[Catz]

what are your 1hour prime load small ffts temps?

On what speed? ofcourse i can not run the following for 1 hour that's just a overclock test i did

So tell me what speed you want me to test and i will

[Utnorris]

Friggin sweet dude!!!! So you do not have a fan on the bottom res just the top one, correct? I am trying to figure out how to add an additional mcr220 to my system and I already have 1 mcr120 rad/res that I was using, so your build gives me a couple of ideas.

Thanks,

Utnorris

[Catz]

haha no i do have a fan on the bottom of the rad that blows air UP into the rad and into the case (but the Cm 690 has a fan hole on the bottom on the case so that's why it works out so well )

I'm currently thinking about gettin an black ice xtreme dual rad to put on the back of my pc to cool the rest of my computer, this should also give me more overclock potential on my Q6600. Although i use ln2 for the extreme clocks :P

For the people that pmed me and everyone here that likes my case i have some more photo's of my h2o cooled pc (casemod):

MIND YOU, i'm not done with this mod, that's why my sidepanel looks so rugged











Some people might think "what's so special about this case", for those people i would like to say that you should really go check out this case at your local pc store to see how small it really is

[NysoO]

Nice rigs guys.
Funkflix, your first picture there almost looked like it was 3d-animated

Yeah, I have this case and love it and at $20 it was a steal. Microcenter has it for $20 after rebate.
