Specs:
Intel i7 920 cpu
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P mother board.
EVGA 9800GX2 Video Processor.
Corsair 1033 3 channel memory x3.

Mods:
Started with the X-CLIO full size case. I wanted to be sure to have enough room to put the 450-pump,and the 80ml reservoir inside of the case. I mounted the Koolance HX-720 radiator rated to 700W with the 2 x 120mm fans on the top of the case with 2"X 1/4" standoffs on all 4 corners. I was able to run the 1/2ID tubing thru the far side panel by opening 2 holes at approx 1" dim each in the already perforated side panel. The Reservior is mounted inside the case from the top via a 3/4" hole and using the existing nut on the fill port to secure it. The Koolance PMP-450 pump is mounted in the "A" drive cage using zip ties. I used the Koolance 345AC waterblock and there mounting hardware. It is well made and fit perfectly. The PC Power and Cooling PSU 750W and the reservior are hidden from view via a small panel I installed.I have been using liquid cooling for a little over a year now but untill now the pump and reservior have been sitting outside the case due to the mid. size tower size constrants.

I started with the Koolance 750ml reserivor but it was way to large even for the full size case, so I opted for the smaller TNK-80 which is perfect for this application!

I'm surprised this mod got such a low rating. Yeah the card board is ghetto but the hardware is good with decent cable management and it's W.C. I gave you a 6/10 Nice job!
