@seeker - I think that is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Power to size/space ratio is the largest I've ever seen in a build, way to go! I will never understand how you were able to fit everything and run that tubing, I had trouble in some places in my massive 800D ... if you don't mind, just out of curiosity.. how are the temps in that?

mad props to seeker, having tried and failed at watercooling SFF, that mod is off its tits.
Seeker, great job.. damn. That had to have some planning and custom fitment go into that. All internal water cooling FTW.
Gotta chime in on Seeker's build - outstanding. I've been tempted to try the 92mm rads ... would love to hear your thoughts on performance of the finished system.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
The tubing took around 3 hours to bend and fit. I kept it suspended in boiling water to be able to fit it in tight spaces.
Proflex LRT is much easier to work with than the Tygon R3603 tubing - I hope this primochill tubing goes stiff over time though. If I used proper angled fittings on each component, fitting parts would not have been a hassle at all. (You can see where lots of 90 degree connectors would have been handy)
I didn't drill a single hole or modify the chassis apart from powdercoating it - I was pretty resourceful with how I did things and kept it at a way where I could reassemble and resell if something failed / I lost interest.
The temps are ok. at 3.6Ghz (1.2v) it loads at around 78c with furmark running on the GPU. Idle is around 45c. Ambient 24c.
I'm using the fractal design silent series fans (12dba / 24cfm) and they struggle to push air through the 92mm radiators compared to the noctuas.
The radiators are easily on par with 120mm equivalents due to how freakin' chunky they are.
I don't mind too much though, the system is 100% stable at 3.6Ghz, I think I am asking for too much when I want to run such a small, powerful system at 4ghz daily. It adds way too much heat with HT on. (I can't disable HT in the Shuttle BIOS yet)
another pic so i'm not going offtopic hehe

If you can get those speeds in a little package like that, it's definitely worth it (TWSS...kinda). ranks up there with Malik's builds.

Very nice looking rig ... great job.
So is your res not mounted, i.e. is it sitting on top of the dual pump? speaking of which wich pump is that? Nice job again, really like this setup.

Sorry about the poor picture quality.
Nice build, csq2. Do you have a shot of the interior in more light - with the side panel off? I'd like to see the color scheme inside.
