    Gigabyte 3D Mercury W/C modding suggestions

    I'm the type who is never satisfied with a build. After a few months i get bored with my system and i build another. IT's been 2 months and i'm starting to itch. The New Gigabyte Mercury 3D is one sweet looking case. I know the onboard water cooling is by no means sufficient for cooling an OC'd Quad. I'm thinking of using the onboard for cooling my 2 8800 Ultras and trying to add a 2nd loop for the CPU. There might be enough space to add another rad up top with the existing rad, or maybe under the power supply between the top of the mobo and the power supply. I'll also be looking to mod the existing system if i can. Maybe a better rad and pump. If all else fails maybe i'll just add a waterkeg for the CPU. I am looking for suggestions/comments/ideas good or bad. Here are a few reviews with some detailed pics of this awesome looking case. The price isn't really an issue for me, although it's a little high.
