I like StarCraft II, I watch a lot of videos, especially from Husky (HD and Psy too) and I recently got interested in custom PCs.

Obviously, it's not my rig but I think it deserves some attention. I hope Husky won't mind it being posted here

Anyway. Any opinions? It's quite heavily modified on the inside. Lots of sparkling going on. I love that main window in the shape of the Protoss logo. Might not be showing as much of the interior, but damn!
Also, the backplates on the graphic cards is a very cool idea that I haven't encoutered yet.

I read the Rig Gallery rules and I hope I am not breaking them by posting not my rig.

Personally dont realy like husky, he is a bit of an ass at times, give me day9, 2GD, TB, Axeltoss, Tastosis, Apollo or any of the NASL guys anyday over husky.

I noticed the mayhems dye they used ^^

BUT wtf 3x 680 and a 2011 hex, all on a single 60mm triple rad....

Also "fast storage" = caviar greens now... -_-

Other than that it looks nice over all, needs atleast 3x the amount of yellow for a toss rig tho.

On a side note, both of you need to look here http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=48522

Protoss have a lot of blue and yellow in them. So they were able to choose where this should go.
Regarding the exterior, I think it was a very good idea to go for black (I personally like black, maybe that's why) with some blue/purple. There are golden elements inside of the case already, although not that visible through the window because of the amount of lighting.

1 thicker radiator for 3x680s? Yeah. I am not sure about it either. Tom, in his CMC videos used a total of 7 fans on thin rads while the system had only 2 cards.
Now, I am wondering if it's the ability of a thick 3 fan rad to cool 3 cards or did Tom go for so much cooling simply because of aesthetics and to be generally on the safe side.

Also, I don't like WD Green HDDs either. I'd get Samsung Spinpoint series HDDs myself.

With just the 680's on it it probably wouldnt have been to bad as gpu's are hot anyway, but with the cpu in there aswell it would probably end up negating the whole idea of water cooling for that as the temp limit for cpu's is 20c lower.

With 2x 680 and the cpu the temps wouldnt have been amazing but it would have been similar/slightly better than air cooling maybe, with the extra 680 it just makes it a slightly quieter air cooling at most for the gpu's.
