    WOW!!! man this is looking nice and evil, evil.

    keep up the good work mang!!

    One thing I'd like to point out to you. Your GTX will only be sucking in the hot air from the radiator, which will result in your GTX getting very hot, which will also result in giving off a lot of heat in the case + the heat from the radiator, which will result in a hot case, which will result in hot hardware, which will result in high temps.

    Science lesson for the day!!!!
    JK lol, you should be fine, my only concern would be the video card, maybe try something else?

    Edit:
    Whoa, I just got a better idea!!! Get an Accelero S1 cooler and run it without a fan on it, the fans from the radiator will be cooling it!

    Also, I'd consider a different video card? G92 maybe?

    Edit 2:
    OR
    You could get an HD3870X2 and buy my waterblock for sale (see sig) and watercool it too!!!
    I'm sure your rad will handle it.

    haha, thanks

    as for the vid card, i know its going to be sucking up some nice warm air
    but im sure its going to be ok, as for the 3870x2 its too long, going to run
    right into my D5 which the GTX barely clears i think im going to just
    pick up a mcw60, unless i can find a sponsor. good luck with selling the
    block though, im sure someone needs one around here

    i was thinking about air cooling it but i think it would look funny from the window. id like to water cool the gpu but im low on funds (kanye west
    concert tomorrow )

    im going to be prepping the body for paint in a few days, and ill be in the
    booth next weekend, i thinking of a pearl white and a metallic black if
    they got the paint that is... if not ill get it myself and if i cant do
    that, then... just white and black lol

    hows your project going?

    Ahhh, yea thats right the X2 is extremely long.... I'm actually looking at one on my rig right now.... oh, oops. Wasn't sposed to say anything.... shhhhhhhhhhh...

    From one end of the PCB to the other its 9 5/8in. long.
    How long is the GTX?

    Have fun at the concert!!

    My builds going ok, haven't done much, been really busy, but things are slowing down....
    I got a replacement corsair 650w PSU yesterday, went and picked it up from Corsair actually. Pretty cool place.

    Keep up the good work mate!
    Oh, and for the GTX, I'd get a full cover block instead of MCW60, it will look much nicer if you ask me....

    i take that back, they look to be the same size

    so youve got a new rig aye? sounds. fun pics or ban...

    the concert is going to be awesome.

    as for the full cover, yes it would look nicer, but im thinking
    of the future if i ever choose to change it out i dont want
    to have that be soo proprietary even though the 8800GTX is
    still a great card
