Dr. Spankenstein · Feb 13, 2008

I love it! It's as industrial looking as your "workspace"!!

I see you got on the PrimoFlex tip!

I can't get over how TOUGH that kit looks!

8/10

Can't wait to see it finished!

thnx Dr i like your rig as well

that tubing you see there in the pix is actually my original tubing which is like 3yrs old . i thought about it at the time when i first assembled my rig and it turned out my thoughts were correct. thankfully i purchased 10ft and have been able to use it sparingly

i didnt post my rig to get votes i just wanted to share my hobby with everyone else and hopefully help other hobbyists as well

Wile E · Mar 12, 2008

*sigh* Almost makes me miss workin in the shop. Wish I had a garage to use as a workspace.

Anyway, very utilitarian looking. I like that. Coming along nicely, but I'd like to see a few pics with everything installed and hooked up before I vote.

intel igent · Mar 12, 2008

thanks WileE

kinda hit a snag right now

hopefully in a week or two ill have everything needed to finalize the build

jbunch07 · Apr 2, 2008

wow!
thats a great looking case! i love the water setup

mullered07 · Apr 2, 2008

not too shabby 6.5/10 , although from the title " old school" i was expecting some AT case from 15 years ago lol, maybe thats not old school, more like ancient ?

intel igent · Apr 2, 2008

thnx gents!

stupid customs must have my order im guessing cuz i dont have it!

soon as i get it in i'll be buisy putting this all back together.

im also in the middle of modding my PSU, i just swapped the stock green LED fan for a BLUE one that i'll have hooked up to my fan controller

i'll also be trying to remove some unnecessary wires so as to try and clean it up a bit more.

the faceplate is missing in the pic, anyone interested it is an antec plusview1000 case

intel igent · Apr 8, 2008

just got my order today! w00t!

added couple of pics

checkout those bitspower barbs on the maze5, nice! thnx Quoc

ill be buisy finishing up this sucker for the next couple of days, wish me luck

Wile E · Apr 8, 2008

Yeah, aren't those Bitspower barbs hella nice? I have a Bitspower reservoir top for my DDC, and those fittings just really impressed me. I'd also recommend the top to anyone. High quality all around.

Good luck, looking for ward to finally seeing it all together. :toast:

thoughtdisorder · Apr 8, 2008

Very nice! Obviously alot of time and work went into this, def 10!

Thnx Wile E! Ya the bitspower stuff is real nice, if I knew they were that nice I wouldve ordered some, its been taking me some time but ive got all the stuff here now so just have to reassemble everything and do the wire management

Thnx for the comments thoughtdisorder
