Looking good, have you braided a few fan cable together and then splitting off into seperate fan headers? Nice idea, consider it borrowed

Also congrats on the new baby!

Over the next few days will be changing "2Cool" case to the £10.99 case same as My Slow Machine,the case is a bit longer so cable and tube routing I hope will be easier.Will put some pics on as I do this.

Small update, installed the ram sinks on both 8600GT's. Rerouted some of the cables,may make some new ones up so cable management will be easier.

Well I started on 2Cool this evening by stripping it out of the old color-it case,it was just used as a test bed.The case was a little small for all the components to go in.All components will be housed in a £10.99 case

This case comes with a motherboard tray,the only problem I have found with the case is the I/O shield is alittle off to one side,this is causing the motherboard not to centre itself on the standoffs.A little filing is required to make it fit.

Got 2Cool up and running,CPU loop and VGA loop running,VGA loop has a small problem in that it is taking in air from somewhere.So I will be taking it all apart later on. Just ordered some new tubing as both loops are being replaced. More to follow.

Goddam. I'm sure something is wrong with me. Those close ups of the motherboard make me go "Coooorrr" and "mmmm heatpipes".

Looking good Tony.

Just ripped it all apart,small prob with air getting into VGA loop and blocks are foulling the ram sinks. Changing the black tubing to Blue UV clear tubing.Mounting the rads differently from shown pics.

Have you tried a different kind of clamp?

Maybe a compression fitting?
