absolutely amazing, WOW. This deserves to be on MDPC if you ask me. How does the backside look? BTW, Happy New Year bro

thanks CP! waiting for the vandal switches and lighting stuff to complete the back. will have pictures eventually. and a happy new year to you too bro.

Wow, what a killer computer! Thanks for posting pics of the Bitspower NB/SB block too, I have been loking everywhere for pics of it on a Classified. Keep up the great work!
Just a quick question, if I may: how easy is it to change the TJ07 motherboard tray to an inverted ATX position?

thanks h2o. and here's one more for you.
as for inverting the mobo:
1, swapped the top/bottom rails but the disadvantage is - spacing would be too close to the top. although you won't have to change the backplate.
2, custom backplate, by purchasing (ie murdermod) or fabricating your own.

that looks great. the only think i would change are the fittings above the GPU
there are 3 in a row. maybe 1 is enough ?!

thanks whuzabi. hehe. yeah, but i just wanted to see how it'd look and i wanted to have the gpu (out) tube parallel with the cpu/nbsb (out) tube.

I LOOOVE.... your cosmos S box behind
just kidding, nice work there!!!
the wait was worth it !

haha. i love that box too. it's a very handy work sidetable.

I'm nto sure why you used so many fittings, when many of those turns and 45" would have been natural.

i've yet to perfect the 'molding' the tubes to the shape i want. will have some more test on the tube routing after my order of new tubes come.

The paint job on the case is stunning, really smacks you in the face. It's a shame the fluid can't keep up, it looks a little dull when compared. Overall though the whole build is just awesome, and i hope you have a massive monitor.
BTW did you ever consider black tygon? It would contrast great with the wicked paint, but that's just my stupid opinion

thanks callen.
yeah, wondered about using black tygon... might consider it if the red primochills don't cut it. and yeah, it'd be accompanied by a dell 3008.

Woooow, looks VERY very nice.... Mesmerzing ; )

thanks anemic.

Excellent work bianco, the red inside of the case look excellent and I like the red coolant too.
However the res is the one thing that keep catching my eye. Is the slight angle on the res, dew to the tubing from the pumps pushed it over a tad, it just throws it all off a little.

All in all I am really happy to see you have finished Raistlin, I have been watching and hoping for some time now,
you have done very well mate, you should be proud of yourself.

thanks bro!
yup, the res was being pushed back by tubes. i've managed to fix it up a little. but i'm more keen on modifying the pump/res brackets and remove the 90deg fittings to the pump (in) port.
appreciate your patience and interest!

SMEXY!!! *licks*
Can I steals? Please?

thanks Bex! haha. but i don't know why you'd take this... while you're working on your awesome rig.

I second the too many fittings opinion.
I would also change the pumps position, there is no reason to buy a performance top and put a 90º fitting on top, you could just use the pump in the "performance" position, or put them connected directly to the reservoirs.
I still think that the XPSC dual bay/dual pump res is the best solution for dual loops on small or too cluttered cases.

thanks leo.
currently on the redesign phase; initially - i wanted to 'show' the liquid entering the pump. but then i realized, one the loop is fully bled and closed... there's not much movement to be seen... except for the spinning viperchecks. haha.
