New rig after Nexus MKII...

CPU cooling has dedicated reservoir/pump and 240mm radiator. The dual 5870's have their own dedicated reservoir/pump and 240mm radiator.

Love this case, plenty of scope for improvements/tweaks/mods... Will be adding an hinge door mod shortly, plus some custom switches for the cathodes etc.

Pipes are too long, but will be shortened once I get decent fittings etc.

why the f''' does someone vote 1?

if they have a problem with it then write a freakin comment, such things pisses me totally off, but i guess some people are just jealous.

but great job man! 1 thing though, that case would be looking smexy with some black paint inside, but 8-10 from here

voted 9/10. I was going to give it an 8 because of the odd video cooling loop, but somebody needs to counteract that idiot 1.

Thanks for the responses guys!

RE: video loop... I'm getting some better fittings soon and will be ripping the tubing out so will re-work the layout.

RE: inside paint job... This is the thing that I'm kicking myself about the most! I really should have taken a step back before jumping in with the build. I guess its another "little" job for the future :)
