Congratz mate!... looks brill...
yea everything looks great
Nothing new on the Software side of things typical crap windows, happens to alot of people that they have to reformat twice to get it to configure properly!
Man i hate windows!... but what else is their :S... Apple Macs Pffff... Linux heard its not that good for gaming and everyday use :s
Anyways give us some benchmarks and temps

Well here it is at last.
Completed....apart from finishing the reinstall and benchmarking and overclocking
I apologise for the quality of the pictures. Try as I might I just can't get them to do justice, especially with the lighting effects. So rather than try yet again for better shots i've made a (rather poor - using my camera) short video which can be downloaded here (10mb) -might take a little while to d/l as it's only a free hosting service.

Anyways, here are the photo's
Bottom of case lighting to give a nice white glow underneath the case
and with the internal white cathodes on, rigged to a sound controller
Just the main 10" UV's + the UV LED's in the pump housing and in the bottom of the res.
Although it doesn't show it too well the transparent uv blue nail varnish that I used on the perspex does give a nice sharp line which delineates the window nicely.
I have also yet to get the lcd display working but I am sure that that will be just a matter of time.
I may also have to swap some of the rad fan out for some more powerful ones as the temps are a little high - at idle coolant is 32*c with fans on full. I reckon that if I put the old psu fans in there then I should be able to drop that to closer to 25*c. Shall see what happens when I bench it and how high the core and gpu temps get.
Not 100% sure that I'll keep the picture behind the drive bay blanking plate. Possibly a bit too busy so may change it out for a rather nice galaxy photo that is a lot darker. The original hope was that the uv would shine through the edge of the perspex and highlight the stars more than it actually does. Oh well, Live and Learn.
So thankyou for your time and comments in following this log. They have been welcomed.
Let 'us know what you think of it.
I am sure that there is much more that I can and probably will say about the build but its one forty in the morning and I am knackered.
Thanks Again

Looks astonishing mate.
Love the way the whole thing looks.
Not seen a WC setup like that before, it looks amazing. I really like the Mobo connector, how each individual line is sleeved, looks the sex.

I been saying it from the start "VERY NICE"
Now :beer::beer::beer: you deserve it!

Thanks for the comments people. Appreciated.
I've even picked up a cool smilie on the thread page.
It's been a couple of days now since I packed up the workshop/living room. Bloody mammoth job that was.
Am still in the process of reinstalling everything back to the way I like it.
Got most of the software on now and just have the desktop to sort out. Have used winstep extreme for last year or so and I do like what you can do with that program. Makes for a very nice and neat desktop to complement the rig.
speaking of which, I still find myself looking at it periodically and thinking that yes, that looks pretty darn good. Especially like the white light shining through the purple coolant in the res.
Also had a bit of an interuption after buying racedriver GRID and a wheel controller. After about 6 hours trying to get the blinking wheel to work finally managed to get it sussed. However because my chair has castors and I have a tiled floor I couldn't use the pedals, so........
I modded it.
Well not quite modded, just making up a stand for the chair to hold it in place and to hold the pedals in place also.
Trust me, I am laughing at myself. Sometimes I just don't know when to stop.
Anyways, thanks again and if anything I hope it might give you some ideas of a) what can be done and b) what you might do to your own rigs.

Absolutely awesome build m8. I love it. As kerotan says you should definitely enter it in some competitions.
Now you should set about modding your living room, so that you can do it all again more easily and still keep it looking like a living room while you do it, so that it saves all that tidying up! :haha:

quality mod, the level of detai is well impressive kudos.
I notice that your tabletop is suffering like mine-gresy/oils starting to make it shine you might want to 'mod' it with a sheet of 6mm Trespa as it could be colourcoded to your pc.
serously tho I think i'm gomma nick your 20pin sheath idea.
