Hi guys, I just started to get interrested in computers last october and I did'nt even know what watercooling was until january this year so I decided to sell everything I could sell of my stuff and try to build my dream. It's coming along very nicely I think and I'm getting my GTX 680 next tuesday but won't be able to watercool it until june and then I am also going to upgrade my radiator, reservoir, pump and fittings.

Hope you like it and so you know, my case is not finished so don't make fun of me yet

Tell me what you think an what I could have done better but like I told you, I'm not finished yet.

Sorry if my english is bad. I'm from Iceland so I have a little excuse

is it me, or do two of your pipes look slightly squashed (due to the excessive bending of thick tubing) ??

otherwise, nice build

One of them was but fixed it temorarely with a hose clamp but 20th of april I will get 90° fittings to fix that problem for good. The other one is just fine though

And no this is pharmacutical grade coolant with UV hoses.

Amazing rig! Bit messy on the bottom though.

Yes that's very very true and I feel a bit ahsamed for it but I was just to lazy to try and fix that now but it will be fixed in june when I get the rest of my stuff. So in the meantime I just keep it covered up with some plastic.

I'm also going to get me a new PSU soon the Corsair AX 1200 so then I most likely have to move the bottom fan out (it's not even supposed to be there) cus it's a bit longer PSU and is fully modular so easyer cable management.

I make mistakes all the time but I'm very glad I do so I can learn from them and work towards perfection

"Very nice. Nice to see others from Iceland here"

"Thanks. I'd rather say it WILL be nice"

Maybe I'll post a screenshot of my shopping cart of the WC stuff I'll buy in june and you could give me some tips on what I'll be needing more or if something is not right??
 
Here is the list of items I will be buying in June so if you see anything I should change please let me know

Oh yeah. Forgot to tell you that the radiator won't be showing so the look is no matter for me. I will also be having a seperate PSU for the pump and fans with a fan controler at the top of the stand...
 
Now I've seen it. This is similar idea to mine but I need it to be something I can use to water cool my next upgrade as well, so next year when I upgrade again I'll only need the motherboard, CPU and RAM

No one here who has anything to say about my shopping list?

Looks like I will need to drill a hole in the back of my case so the tubing can get out of it again cuz there are only two WC holes in the back and they're at the top...
