Done some major updates to my rig since last I posted it in August of last year. (http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=56107)
I felt like I got some good honest feedback then and improved it significantly from my original build.( that was my first ever atempt and it shows.)

I have added a few things since then and with complete rebuild 2 days ago I thought it was time to share it again, and get some new feedback.
This is how it ended up last time. I did add in the rest of the hdd cases in the front but otherwise it was the same for quite some time.

Here is how it looked at the start of the rebuild, I got a second 780 and some new ram since last year. And added a fan to the hddcage.

All stripped down and ready for a dust off.

Everything fitted once again and only the hosing too go. Got a new PSU since the old one started acting up(reason for the rebuild in the first place) Decided too watercool the poseidon card aswell and added a 240mm rad.

End Result.

All in all I'm quite happy with the end result. Wanted too connect the 780s directly but was unable with the fittings I have, so I had to rework the loop a bit. Might also try to tidy up the 24pin and gpu power cables a bit, but not quite sure how to at this stage.

Please do share your thoughts of how I could improve for future builds etc.
 
Hey he seems happy, two wet 780's and no window who cares. Actually a window might help so you can check the backing sheet is still attached to the EK logo and not stuck somewhere in your loop about to kill all of your components :eek:

A window would have been nice, I know NZXT has windowed panels for the case, but can't seem to get them in Sweden. And that Logo has been that way for 15 months so it should be fine, never really thought of it being there though.
 
Seeing a 1-2C lower idle but same load, that said the fan is still running opn the poseidon(not sure where I turn it off).

Played a bit of League of Legends and here are temps, Poseidon is the lower one.
