    I'll be watching this as I am in the middle of a 700D build. Looks like you stripped the powdercoat from the case. how did you approach the removal of it?

    I used a portable media blaster with 80 grit. I got mine at harbor Freight real cheap.

    You can use 80 grit sand paper and rough it up real good. this will work also I'm just bit anal about painting.

    This looks promising! Is this your first build or just your first watercooled build?

    The only thing I put together was an 800D with EVGA X58 LE, H50. i-7 920 & gtx260. no mods Its what I use as my every day desktop. I had help with that from my son and got hooked.

    I removed the front switch panel and moved a blank up to clean up the front

    I moved the switches inside the hot swap door since I removed two bays

    I'm a bit conerned about the wiring for the 8-pin CPU connector ... you gotta get around that tubing *eek*

    Otherwise, this looks to be a nice build, great block choice!

    Are you saying I can not go through it Thanks for the comments I picked blocks I thought would go good with my build but some what differnt then everyone else. The MIPS block and the aqua Ram plex look good together and the Rasa block had good reveiws and had black mounting bolts a plus for me

    I wasn't saying it was impossible, I was just noting EVGA's decision to mount it there.
