You may as well hold off on TNR for haswell, if it's that good you will only want to rebuild it again. And I agree on your idea of silent watercooling I can never understand why people want 2500rpm fans, I like being 1 foot away from my case and hardly hear it.
A case your already wanting now I'm intrigued, maybe something between 900 and 350?

Epic Vid as always Tom!
Great video. I have to admit the coolant part really surprised me. I've read a heck of a lot of bad stuff about Mayhems coolant online and I always remained impartial in my opinions having never tried it myself and considering how many variables there are in a rig.
But looking beyond the coolant itself the way he handled your feedback which was provided to him through a private email by splattering it about in the open really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I do agree with your assessment in your video though, before Mayhems came along we didn't really have issues with our coolant. The name brands very rarely went wrong apart from the UV stuff and the normal tube staining from coloured coolants. Nothing like blockages, tubing incompatibilities and extreme discolourations that we witness with this Mayhem stuff. I'm ever so glad I decided to play it safe and go with some EK premix for my own rig. It has been really dependable.

(Min.38:06) God bless you Tom!!!! hahahaahhaha
What is it he's saying? It sounded like "540" or something. How is that any help
I'm intrigued as hell now because I love seeing new cases. Someone help decode what Tom is saying.

Looking foward to some PSU testing vids was on of the things I asked about when Tom asked us what we would like to see him review and by the sound of things we got some interesting vids coming, and such a shame about ORCA I would be completely gutted myself after all that hard work down the shittubes....... still lets hope the negative gets turned to a real positive.

I really like these vids, mainly due to the fact we hear whats going on in your world besides all the lovely stuff you get to play with. and im not talking about the PSU tester (jealous).
TNR, the graphic on this side is really cool, almost reminded me of the old fabia advert were the car drives over the panel making it black.
Im sorry to hear about orca, i really am. i had a thought but it might be a little longer on time but could you not take the feed into the res and pop that into a bucket, then put another pipe feeding the res which you can just put water in and just keep filling and running the system till all is clear, or will you have to replace all the pipes too? (but you will still have the issue putting the other coolant in so that's prob a stupid idea
)
With the PSU cables being in a nice white and red have you decided on the colour as the white im sure would look nice against the white case but the red would go with the coolant and will look like veins almost (or that creepy)

I am so looking forward to your PSU reviews! It's one of the more fascinating components in a PC
to me, although I'm not really sure why.
The TNR case looks really nice imho. Not too flashy, but still unique and striking, if that makes
any sort of sense.
And don't overwork yourself, I know from personal experience that the results can be rather...
less hilarious, to say the least (no, I didn't have a nervous breakdown, before anyone jumps
to any conclusions, I was just very, very, very exhausted).
Do you suffer by any chance from hay fever? It's just that you seem to be scratching your nose
and head a lot in this vid, and I've noticed similar behavior in myself.
Finally: +1 for the profanity, sometimes there's just no better way to put things. :lol:

I had a quite a few crack ups with the swearing, always nice to see even professionals lose their control
I'm digging the TNR case job but if the "*cough* (muffled) 940" you said is what i am thinking of then i say wait and since you're waiting get Haswell.

I think red dye would look good any way mate as it looks like veins and the life blood of Orca
Wow never thought of that... Makes tons of sense^_^

I asked some family members what he said and half said 940 others said 540. I heard 940 but it's all up for debate

Given the 840 atcs is out of production it would make sense.

Or a 540mm rad? (3x180mm) Maybe the case fits one of them

Didn't think about rad size, good thinking, could be that.
