Maximus Extreme + Zalman GT1000 tri-loop setup - picture heavy

[polar bear]

Thanks for comments & interest everyone!

edit:

Wow thats alot of stuff in that smallish case....

looking preety good did you flush out your rads beforehand?

I did flush out the rads. In fact I even managed to damage a 120.3 rad by inserting one of the fan screws way too far. I didnt discover this until later -
in the worst possible way! Some 5-10 mins into leak testing all lights/electricity suddenly went out in my flat Turned out water had been leaking from the
read rad , then trickled onto the table then further down to the floor where it collected on top of the power outlet for my computer Luckily, I had another 120.3
lying around (reserved for future use hehe) so didnt have to wait for several weeks for a replacement to be shipped. Oh well. Learned a few lessons there
I guess!

can you switch the hd's the other way? that would clean up the cables alot

abit of tidying up here and there and you got yourself a nice rig

Good work

No, I don't think it is possible to turn the HDD cage around. Anyway, most of the wires that can be seen in the pictures are well hidden when the side
panels are mounted.

That looks very cramped.. If all I had was a midtower, I'd rather do air than water. There just isn't enough space in anything other than a full tower.

Indeed! It ain't a pretty sight, I agree. But the reason behind this project was to utilize and upgrade this case for some serious uber-watercooling of some xxxtreme components This build is for performance - not aesthetics / silence in any way. I did it this way rather than buying a new case - I like the Z-Machine a lot really.

Nicely done..

What kind of tubing clamps did you use on the Crosslinx block?

I can't tell from the pictures..

Actually, the picture of the crosslinx block in the first post is misleading as it turned out I didnt use the barbs as shown. Instead, I went for this 11/8 mm combined barb/clamps on all of the chipset blocks:
