Well, here it is, not quite working yet as it lacks a hard drive.

Spec:

Q9450

Asus Maximus Formula

HD 4870

4Gb Crucial Ballistix

Coolermaster 700w

Razer Barracuda

VelociRaptor 300Gb

All housed within a TJ07 case and lots of watercooling things hidden within.

Board with stock cooling ripped off

Looks great :D

What case is that though?

Ohh just spotted the tube leading to the bottom of the reservoir seems pinched in the turn! Or is it a trick of the light?

It's a Silverstone TJ-07 mate, and yes that tubing is compressed a little due to the curve by the looks of it.

@GavX: Nice looking rig Gav, and I really love your choice of case :p
 
my HDD will go in some of the 5 1/4 bays when the adaptor thing arrives, and trhe HDD for that matter (on the phone to City Link now, they lost it!)

The tube at the bottom was a little bent as at the time the whole res was held up purely by that tube :D I hadn't mounted the holding clips yet, only done them the other day, so now it is a little straight-er.

I haven't added what cooling there is so here we go:

Laing DDC Ultra pump with XSPC Acry top

120mm Feser XChanger

240mm XSPC Rad (til I can afford another XChanger)

x3 Yate Loons on the rad

x2 AC Ryan 92mm

x2 Sharkoon 120mm

EK Supreme CPU

EK HD4870 block

EK blocks on North and Southbridge

I think it is an EK resevoir.

I one day plan on having a 480mm radiator in the base, but for now I daisy chained 2 res's together and it means the pump could easily be placed.

City link lost it That dont sound good news i bet there have sent it 2 the,

wrong place like some little old womans house or some fink.
 
Well still no updates, what annoys me most is that they never actually emailed me to say anything, they lost it on the 30th and I had to contact them. Scan say they are waiting for CityLink to wrap things up and either find it or admit they lost it, til then, no Red October :(

Well if i was in your shoes i wound be shoting down the phone at crap link!!!!,

I never order any fink my self i.e. from web-sites or e.bay coz you hear so much

Bad things about them.

Mite just be a better idera 2 just by a smale hard drive from a computer shop,

Just 2 get your rig up n runing for now at lest you will be looking at windows on,

Your screen insted of bios promt ;)
 
My hard disk and hard disk holder arrived today, and I fired up Red October just there installing Vista, all seems well.

The Silverstone HDD holder sorta spoils the sleek front look, and it has a blue LED fan annoyingly so until I get a red one it will have to do.

Cabling is not as neat now everything is in but I will try my best later on to keep it all clean, just get an OS onit and call it a night!
 
Looks amazing - very neat and clean :)

I have tonnes of cables everywhere, from the PSU panels, fan controllers, memory card readers (which has about 10 wires) :(
 
Been a week and a bit with no issues! :o A record... (nah, record is 2 months...)

Once all teh fan cables go in it is a bit messy, but nothing some cable tidying won't solve, just need the time, and sadly whenever I get that time I am playing Counter Stike on it, probably overkill for a game like that
