You got your UFO!

I don't like huge cases, but I have to admit that the U2-UFOs I've been seeing here are dead sexy.

You mean the RAM sinks on the MOSFETS? I did that, too.

M8? One helluva nice looking build. I really like the Tt chipset cooler and I notice you are having to use a PCI-E slot below the top one because of it. These freakin cards are getting so long these days that if a m8 runs an SLI setup the chipset goes on with the factory heatsink whether it is active or passive.

But truly a super looking build. I hope the cooling is as effective as the looks are. HEHE

Looks awesome JoeBar ωραίος

I'm just curious about the plate on your storm, it looks like it's plexi or something. Is it? It just looks different from my own Storm rev.2.

Anyway, great rig you got there JoeBar! Guess I'll have to get my own MM Ufo soon

Looks really nice Joe! I can't help but think that running the tubing differently would make the tubing look cleaner. Res > Pump > Rad > CPU > GPU > Res. The run from the pump to CPU and GPU to rad look a bit funky to me. Otherwise tops!
