Pardon me while I vent some frustration... please....
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH A GTX WITH STOCK TOP ?!?
At least get the copper top, or get rid of that water block altogether.
Please !!!
Looking good...
I actually just got rid of my Mozart case, cause I absolutely hated it... but I didn't do any modding, kept case stock....
Can't wait to see it finished...
Now, My daughter is looking over my shoulder to see all the smiles... so you'll have to excuse the next part....

I thought the Mozart case wasn't deep enough. With my 8800GTX installed, I the fan in front barely fit, and I wanted to put in a triple rad there. The mobo header for my card reader wasn't long enough, as well as the floppy (I know, could have got another cable).
I would have preferred the 5 1/4" drive bays were opposite side, and the HDD cage opposite as well.
It had a great deal of potential, I just didn't find this site in time to do a bunch of mods. I'm now working on my triple loop UFO duality case (yes, "another" UFO case....I didn't know they were so popular when I bought it).
Also, I don't know why they put the front fans behind the solid part of the front panel. But, if they flip flopped the optical bays section (the black part) I think there would have been better airflow.
Really just my opinion, I like what this build is turning out to be. I wish I had seen found XS prior to building the mozart case... I just may have liked it.
Good luck...

Again... apologies for all the smilies in my post... 6 year old was buggin me about them and wanted to see 'em... hope they aren't too distracting....

Look, seriously, you really need to consider some anticorrosives. I ran my loop for a week with just distilled and it corroded the fittings. I cleaned it all up, put it back together with the proper mix, and zero problems. Just run the right stuff and you're good. Simple as pie. I don't know why this is such a point of contention.![]()

Yo Yo yO. first, must say, your the bomb, that case is so slick. it almost makes me change my mind back from the Mountian Mod back to the Mozart.
BUT, i just need the room, don't need the bling and don't care about sound. My #1 priority is space and the MM got what it takes. I DO NOT want to have to stress about adding something....
here is the build I am ordering tomorrow....
U2-UFO CYO (Choose Your Own)
- Acrylic Color Smoked Grey
- Side 3 Big Window Panel (MB side for show off)
- Window Etching 1 Window Top (SystemVipers Logo based on the superman look)
- Side 2 Triple Original Panel (Chiller side)
- Side 1 Diamond Panel(top w/logo)
- Front Panel Type Duality
- Horizontal MB brace No
- Finish Black Wrinkle
- Front Panel Fan Spacing Swiftech/Black ICE
- Back Panel Fan Spacing Swiftech/Black ICE
- Back Panel Type Standard
Component list
Evga 780i
Evga (2) 8800 GTS 512 (92)
CPU E8400 till the Core 2 Quad Q9450 comes in.
2 PSU's Roswill 950 (main) plus a Roswill 650
Swiftech GTX copper top (?)
MCW60 for GPU's or DD Ion if got funds.
Pumps 2 D5 vario plus a 355 w/petra top
resi's still undecided.
lots of temp monitoring- still thinking of best way. Prob the inline mod.
RAM Dominator 8500 V1.2 Micron 2G
Asus monitors.
So that is what i am thinking, have 95% of everything except MM box.
Plus the in line chillers, i will break out my home brew design in the next month during this build.
Will start a seperate thread for that.
Plus just about finished my pelt bench.
Main board to start will be Evga 680i LT
Tankguys Micron 8000 ram, hmmmm
have 2 swiftech pelt mcw60's plus the swiftech pelt CPU block. Then add in my home brew chillers right before the pelt blocks, should help get temps down....
Also have several Variable 8-15v 30a power supplies to tune in the pelts....
Again need to figure out best way to monitor temps.
Sorry for being longwinded in your thread, but your build of the Mozart was a learning exp for me and just want to thank you again for taking the time to fill us in.
I will do the same in my thread.
Now back t o your regularly scheduled thread....

Hi System Viper,
You have choose DD ion over EK-88 FC, any reason for that?
FS: MM UFO Horizon Black + Clear Side/Top
I totally hear that. You would think with all this space I would want for nothing, but this case still leaves something to be desired. For example, I now have 2 Gigabyte i-Ram boxes to install (5.25" bay devices) and no bays to put them in, so I gotta figure out some way to mount them unnaturally ...
But I suppose each case has it's own challenges![]()
Thanks for the support and I look forward to your new build!

Um...you're lines are going out the back of the pc when this is suppose to be internally cooled? I don't know...memory isn't water cooled? :P
1 SB out looks like its kinking and its a different color, 2 where the heck is the out line on the parallel SLI blocks?? :P
:edit: and it looks like u missed your mosfet block. could create a few issues. maybe water flying across the room and you mobo.
Output for parallel blocks is on the wrong card.

Why da heck he connect both line between the FC block?![]()

The lines going to the rear are only for draining the system. There is a removeable plug on the outside which can be unscrewed for draining.
Water-cooling memory is almost as useless as water-cooling your hard drive. Neither require it. Of course I'll get some flack for that![]()

The clear tubing is thin-walled. It's all I had at the time. It will be replaced eventually, but I do like the clear vs. blue contrast so that'll stay. It's not kinking, and regarding the mosfet block that is the input for that loop and I just haven't hooked up the pump line yet.
I should have stated before, what you are looking at are 2 separate loops ...
