    First, let me say I love anodizing, so I'm jealous. The anodized black box and tubing were great ideas in hiding the wires.
    Curious what reservoir you are going to use and if you are going to paint the cdrom.
    I'm excited to see the finished product. I assume clear tubing and red fluid or red tubing?

    I used to not be a big fan of Mountain Mod cases, but they have been growing on me lately. But wow! This one is amazing! It looks like you're doing a great job of filling all of that extra space, too!

    Dave,

    A couple of questions for you.
    - What o-rings/washers are you using with the case screws? Obviously saves on the case finish and could possibly take out some vibration.
    - I plan to mount the RADs up front with the Drive Bays in the bottom. I can't seem to find a build log with the trinity front. Is there enough clearace up top to do that? I plan to setup a push/pull with YL's and using one of your RAD grills on the inside (yes, you've just sold me on it - IMO looks great). I'll use BP Extensions to clear the fans and RAD Grill prior to starting tubing.
    - Will you be creating 3 x 120 & 1 x 120 RAD Grills as well?

    Well I have worked on this thing all weekend and
    I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
    The pics suck so I will take more tomorrow but
    I wanted you guys and Gals to see it.

    Before anyone asks I am going to shorten the
    SATA cable on the hard drives I just didn't have the
    connector. I will order one soon.

    Enjoy and sorry for the quality of the pics.

    Great job again....I do have a question....Is that a silver coil in the res at the bottom of the input? If so could it possibly get sucked into the pump as it looks pretty close in the pump input?
    Thanks in advance....

    Ya it is the kill coil but it doesn't look like it will go in any farther.

    Thanks for all the complements, better pics later.

    Oh wow, I didn't realized you finished.
    It looks really good. I'm a big fan of fitseries tops and the red is an awesome touch!
    Excellent design on the cable routing.. The anodized black came out great.
    Change the lighting to uv and lets see some night shots!!!
    Friggin sweet


    Why doesn't ben sell anodized black cdrom face-covers? I suppose you can get the lian li stickons.
    Overall, the build is perfect.. go borrow a friends slr and get this in a magazine
