    My "gold edition" DDC top

    I wasn't happy with the quality of my XSPC top so after hacking it into a strange mutant reservoir top for fun, I decided to get down to business and build myself a nice clean standard top, as I will be using an external res on my next build. It features an impeller sealing rim such as the SWC top posted a week or so ago, but with a one-piece design as I had originally imagined some time ago, and some tweaks in the shape of the volute which may or may not make it different in performance than some of the other tops on the market:







    Asus G73- i7-740QM, Mobility 5870, 6Gb DDR3-1333, OCZ Vertex II 90Gb
