I am a dumbass...my OCD immediately noticed it.

Man there is nothing like polished aluminum IMO...it's the ultimate finish.

coolmiester, is that the wavemaster that you polished years ago? I remember when you started polishing everything aluminum, it was amazing. Nice stuff, keep it up.

Cyberdruid I'm in love with your Skulltrail setup. Great stuff.

Nice work Druid. I like how you had to free up an entire 80mm fan hole for your tubing.

is the case coated with a clear coat or anything? I would imagine it would scratch pretty easily without it.

It doesn't look curved to me

I just realized, i have the "in" tube on the top barb on my block, and the "out" on bottom.. I know it should have been the other way around, but that shouldn't make a difference, should it?

**disruptfam** · 04-05-2008, 11:40 PM

yeah doesn't look to bad imo.

**adya** · 04-06-2008, 12:14 AM

hi thought id put mine up since i just finished it. its no where near as nice as some of the others i know, but its the first case ive ever made and it was totally free so im happy with it.
i scored 3 perspex shelves from the gaming area at work and thought it would be a good idea to make a pc out of it. so i joined them up and cut some squares in for fans and for rad.

I've never been a fan of yellow coolant/tubing, primarily because of what it looks like you're running as coolant

**taylormsj** · 04-06-2008, 06:10 AM

I think it looks f*cking awesome

I see what your talking about. Its really not that bad. If it was I think I would have had a difficult time getting the sli bridge on but it went on easy, and I haven't had any problems so far. I think its just the weight of the block, the thing is very heavy even without anything going through it.

**dualbrain** · 04-06-2008, 10:13 AM

empty-Q: indeed - more pictures please

Will do, just fooling around with my camera, the above pic was by far the best. These are my latest pics, please ignore the grain, I was fiddling with the camera. Slowly getting better ^.^

@Empty_Quarter: how come there are no more rear fans?

**Empty_Quarter** · 04-06-2008, 04:58 PM

2 less fans to worry about. 92mm fans arn't the quietest unless I get a noctua. I dont really need the rear fans.

Those GTXs are so long, I'd say that it's just because of the Pic angle. And all WCed SLI set-up bends a bit like that due to full cover WBs. Mine does it too. And my Crossfire set-up i had in the past did the same. Nothing to worry about m8.

**CedricFP** · 04-06-2008, 05:47 PM

Decided to go caseless. It's all a bit messy, yes.

Had a problem with the tubing (1/16 wall) collapsing with the D5 Vario so had to line it with zip ties. Even with them, I can still only run my D5 at setting 3. However, when holding the tubing to make sure it didn't collapse at setting 5, I saw now temp differences in idle or load.

I'm stumped. Must be that the flowrate isn't the limiting factor for my temps currently.

Hey Cedric!
Is this thing still portable?

Greetings to Hong Kong!!!

If by portable you mean a complete inability to even shift it one inch, then yes, it is absolutely portable

Well nothing is actually nailed or bolted down so I can slide it across the table. That's some measure of portability.

I'm actually waiting on shroud dimensions for my 160 before I cut into my PC7 so this is merely a temporary solution.

Unfortunately, adding an extra 2 GB to my rig killed my ram OC and am no longer able to run 8x450

And greetings to the land where you live and/or originate from.
