To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
The Rig: AMD 6000+, M3A32-MVP MB, 2 Gigs Crucial Balistix Tracers (1066 mhz) memory, 2 WD SATA Raptors raided, 2 Visiontek HD3870's in Crossfire, 750 watt PSU. Water Cooled: 2 Swiftech MCP350 Pumps w/Oclabs Tops, D-Tek Fuzion CPU Block, 2 MCW60 GPU blocks, Black Ice Extreme 360 & 240 Rads, 5 141 CFM Delta fans, Swiftech Micro Res.

Mods:
Modded the 2 windows a few years back, but recently add water. Drilled 4 1" holes in the back to pass the 7/16"x5/8" hoses through. Decided to mount both radiators on the back of the case at a 45 degree angle w/ 4 home made brackets. Mounted both water pumps outside the case at the bottom. A swiftech Micro-res is mounted above the pumps and feeds the 1st pump.
My loop is as follows: Res., 1st pump, BIX 360 Radiator, CPU Block, 2nd pump, BIX 240 radiator, Top Video card GPU block, bottom GPU block, Res.

Since the last post of the other women I have replaced the Sapphire X1950 pro's with Visiontek HD3870's and a D-Tec CPU water block. And as you may notice the fluid is green and not pink...

Have had it to 3.56 once, but only stress tested it at 3.50. And it was stable and cool.

One nice thing about having most of the gear outside the box is 1st the inside of the box it nice and neat. 2nd most of my water connections are outside the case including the pumps. Only 6 of the 19 connections are inside the box.

Those temps are loaded with Orthos still running. 25c max after 1 hour of Orthos.

Thanks all... a labor of love or is it lust...hhmmm not sure.

Here is a screeny at 3.56 @ 11c

Not to miss lead anyone my rig was sitting outside the window in 5c air temp. This was also before I switched out the Swiftech Apogee GT with my new D-Tek Fuzion and changed the coolant.

Love that mobo your running. Any probs with it? It's the board that I am considering doing my next build on. Your build is very neat and clean. I like all the copper you got going on in there gives it a clean overall look. 8/10
