Im getting a cooler master HAF X for christmas, and im planning a project with it, im considering water cooling my CPU.

i will be buying the following items from special tech:

with the liquid cooling i am considering Red dye and i dunno what kit to get yet.

if anyone has any suggestions or im going wrong somewhere please feel free to tell me

Heres Pictures so far. (any idea how i change the size of these?)

Heres the inside, i decided to take the wheels off in the end xD also ignore the messy wiring.



its currently on my desk at the moment, its the only place i can fit it for now i took the wheels off though so no rolling off the table lol.



Dark shot, with the LEDs that i put in there, the monitor is covering the front Fans LEDs



Camera didnt focus properly i guess thats what you get for using a phone camera.



And finally another shot in the dark, with the intake fans LED on, this is the Stock LED that i didnt put in.



So thats it so far, i have a few things yet to come. I can only fit the thing on my desk at the moment, and the sub woofer has to stay on my desk until i the extention cables arrive so i can put it on the floor. then there will be more room

Cold cathodes power up with Molex. However do be aware that red CCFL are actually pink. If you want red get some LED strips or LED tubes.

I wont be getting the Cathodes, instead ive decided to go for an LED strip Lamptron 60cm FlexLight Pro : Red, i sohuld e ordering them tomorrow, although im not sure wether i should get a 60cm strip or a 24cm strip.

Fan controllers limit the amount of power going to the fan so unless your fans defy the laws of physics they will be slowed down, however some fans produce an annoying hum when undervolted. Also some LED fans, not all get dimmer as you drop the speed, not sure how your fans fare when unvolted and all that
