My first WC rig, I'm hooked!!! Water chiller is the next step, rig is prepped and I've started on the chiller





***edit*** (forgot I could list my components on this thread, so here they are)

* Swiftech Apogee GTZ Extreme Duty CPU Waterblock
* Swiftech MCW60-R2 Extreme Duty VGA Water Block Revision 2
* Swiftech MCP655-B water pump w/ Bitspower Premium D5 Pump Mounting Bracket
* Tygon R-3603 lab tubing (1/2" ID, 5/8" OD)
* Koolance hose clamps
* Koolance QDC VL3N quick disconnects (male w/ barbs through case, female angled swivel w/ compression fittings)
* Zalman Reserator 1 Plus V2 w/ active cooling via a large hepa filter
* Arctic Silver Céramique thermal compound for CPU and GPU
* Coolant: Prestone antifreeze/distilled water (50/50) and a few ounces of Water Wetter

Chiller prep on the boards:
* 4 coats of MG Chemicals' Silicone Conformal Coating (aerosol) on front and back of motherboard and graphics card
* Potting compound around and behind the CPU and GPU
* Silicone dielectric grease:
- between the CPU and socket
- packed around the CPU after putting it in the socket
- packed in every connector on the MB (ram slots, PCI slots, power connectors, Sata ports, etc.)
* sheet of closed cell foam between the MB and case

The system itself is finished (as far as I know) but I plan to replace the Reserator with the chiller sometime in the future. This is also my first attempt at wire management, here's what it looked like when I first installed the Reserator kit:
