This is my 1st case mod and 1st watercooled project. My gole for this buld was to have a OC with a quiet rig.
I used a 480 SR1 and a 240 SR1 with Bitspower waterblocks with a Apogee XT cpu block. 1/2" ID 3/4 OD tubing.
The end results are great, Great OC with very little noise.
I am in the process of upgrading to 2 watercooled 480's to replace the 470's.

Q: Is this like a carbine fiber decal? where did get it or have it done?
Yes I did alot of homework for the build and asked alot of questions.
The fans are in a pull config. blowing up, out of the case, because I like the clean look, but a mofo to mount. I could mount bottom fans as well if I wanted more air flow, push/pull config. But seeing how I used the sr1 rads.. not alot of flow is needed.
It is carbon fiber film that I bought online @ www.carbonfiberfilm.com/
It is pretty pricey and a little tricky to work with, but the look is awesome, imo. It took me a few mistakes to get it down, but not too bad.
The back panel is painted with clearneon (red) paint. It is invisible until it is under a uv light, then shows up glowing red.
Thanks again..
Dude, the cable management is sweet, the carbon fiber is slick and that uv red panel in the back is seriously one of a kind. you got me re-thinking my rig (also a obsidian 800d water cooled), as well as my hardware BUT it ain't going bad yet so I'll replace them when they die. I like the layout of the tubing man, very organized and though out. Give me a lil time to finish my mods and I'll post mine up. 9/10 man. Solid.

Takes a little pratice to get it down.
I have way to much in this system.. When I built it and with the changes I made, I had about 8k in the whole rig, of that 1200 into a u3011, 300 in the samsung and 300 into the 7" monitor.
I have made a few changes from the original pics. I wanted to get it a little cooler so I added 2- EK 240 rads in the bottom and a 92mm rad in the bay drive.
I added a revo 3 x2 that just is smokin fast.
I just got 3 680's with blocks that I am about to replace the 480's.
