Hello,

Decided to jump on the bandwagon after a bit of persuasion from ScoobZ and Tom, and have just ordered some watercooling stuff from Tom, and a new case to put it in It's not gonna be as good as some of the things on here, but should be ok, as long as it doesn't leak! :001_tt2:

Plans
  • Get the hardware in, all wires tidied
  • Get the watercooling in, get used to it, see what it can do
  • Upgrade to i7 and better graphics card
  • Get a window cut, but something odd shaped and original
  • Fan controller
  • Replace the stock fans with yate loons, and braid them
  • Replace the switches with vandal switches
  • Cut some holes in the motherboard tray for cable mangement if there aren't good enough routes of putting them
  • Powdercoat the internals / externals


Before shots: Air cooled, old case and PSU




All of the water cooling stuff



The case stripped out



The bits from the case



The apogee GTZ on the mobo, you can see the washer type things i was talking about earlier on the first picture of the block







Set up ready for leak testing once the pump and tubing is in





Not convinced that I can make the tubing go from the rad to the res easily... any ideas?

Peter.
