    Hey Jesse, your build is starting to look sweet! The clamps are awesome, shame my 6mm M3 screws are a tad too short to mount the clamps but once i've found 10mm screws my build will be full of them.

    How's the leak in the rad? Did you fix it?

    Installed my waterblock. I didn't feel like ordering a back plate for the price realistically they should just come with one but no matter. I installed ramsinks on the back. Ill see how my temps are.

    Gorgeous pics!
    You are better off with ram sinks than the backplate. I had one 280 mounted with one and the other off and there was no discernible temp difference.

    Make sure you use real clamps with the Norprene tubing, It is MUCH stretchier than other vinyl tubing.

    Been using it for 2 years now with worm drive clamps and never had to replace it.

    Thanks Seeker, That is good to know makes me feel better about my choice.


    @aspire, Yeah I just put the tube on to show how it will be. I used a thick zip tie on my test setup last time and it seemed quite good. I think it should be safe.

    Luckily the Bitspower fittings have that really sharp edge on them that holds the tubing on nicely. Most other fittings don't hold it very well.

    Turned out great.... love the LCD on the divider plate, you worked that in well and your CD rom coming out of the side of the case.

    Also do you mind me asking what kinda lighting you used?

    Thanks jpm,

    Yeah the lcd turned out perfect. as for the lighting I just have three bits power leds modded into a plexiglass piece to hold them in place up top, basically a small light bar. And then of course there is one in each pump top.

    This really came out well. I wasn't too sure about the neoprene tubing, but I like the finished look. It's different, but with a clean industrial look.

    Also like your LCD display on the midplate.

    You definitely deserved a cold one after such success!

    Thanks Shazza, it was funny the neoprene tubing wasn't my first choice but I still wanted black so I tried it. Its got a really nice feel to it but its not the most flexible. Good thing I found out about bits power
