Nice dude,

Got any pics of inside and with the side off.?

 

[Gray Mole]

Wow, I love how you've done the side window too. Looks really classy.

I have to say, that while phase is always gonna be my first love, you just can't beat the look of a well made watercooled PC

Cheers

Few more Pictures..

Gray,

Yeah i kept the Chilly Mount on the CPU and D-Grease so the phase will be used for benching.hehe

The Side window was perfect thanks to Sacha. Took a little time deciding on what shapes to have but i wouldnt chage a thing with this setup now.

Them there be true words!

The V2000 is great for splitting up components the way you guys have done.

Noise: isolate, eliminate

looks great, but i would put some little plastic ties on the loop out of the rad to avoid kinking.

I Still plann to sort a few little bits, UV die and sort the tubing around the Pump when i change to conroe.

I kept the Chilly mount, the Storm block mounts straight over it so easy to remove and plug the phase on when i Bench.

Arr yes many thanks, I completely forgot about that. Seen it done before and helps keep the shape of the tube.

Looking good M8, just got to sort out the cables/ pipes a bit and then it will be there, take it from me guys this is one quite system, it was like switching on an old spectrum/comadore 64 its that quite, keep up the good work and keep us all posted.

I love that side window! 8)

 

[phil123]

did you cut holes in the bottom of the case for the fans? or do you just let the air come through the standard drilled hole surface?

 

[stocky]

It looks like standard holes with a slight gap from the pics...

I don't think it'd be too wise to weaken the bottom of the case with all that weight in there. I suppose the holes could be made slightly larger, or supports put in place around a cut out to give additional strength.

Very nice I think I need windows for mine 8)

 

[4Qman]

Thanks again lads..

I cut the bottom of the Case for the 3x Rad fans. The standard drilled surface wouldnt be in my eyes.

Fatty,

Yeah mate definatly worth doing the window yourself. apart from being cheaper it alows your own deisgn.

 

[freebo]

looking good mate!

Stunningly beautiful

Stunningly beautiful, and the layout was technically well thought out. Good choice of case.

Woah - not much bottom left there!

Does bolting the rad help give additional stability, or do you notice much flex?

What kind of results are you getting from the system?

Yes M8 i helped him do some of the work cutting out ECT and even without the rad in there is know flex at all, he is getting nice cool loop even in the hot weather as with 6X120 push and pull system on the rad without any restriction on airflow due to the bottom of the case being cut out, it stays nice and cool and is very quiet, the only thing you can hear is the chip set fan and his raptors thats it nothing else.

 

[stocky]

Nice

It's of an advantage to draw from the base - as cooler air sits lower due to warm air rising. The only concern I would have is with the dust, as it must suck up into the case - has this been a problem at all with a bottom mounted radiator?
