    My new V2000 - the beast has arrived

    Well it came, and cripes it was rather large....







    I actually flipped the backing plate upside down next, so the PSU was raised up (The Qtec is only temporary, I had a W/C mishap with my enermax [evil] )



    Then I realised I'd taken the PSU out of the old setup before bleeding, and I needed the pump to be on for bleeding....so out comes the P2 350 to the rescue!



    My poor old baby, dead!



    At first the setup below probably doesn't make much sense, but the PSU has a fan on the bottom remember, so it means the left rad gets a good airflow, the the stand the rad is on also has airholes in it, as does the floor of the case:



    Filling her up, a mess I know, but I'll clean her up. It's mainly because of the fact I had to convert all my fans to 3 pins for the controller by stripping them and using electrical tape. And I've also linked 2 fans up to one controller wire and so on, so both rads are controlled by one channel. Then there's the four temperature sensors and all the tubing, and then all the molexes and the like.



    All done, and ooo she's a looker



    The second drive doiwn looks odd as it's stealthed with a blanking plate from my old coolermaster. I'll do a Lian Li one ASAP.

    For anyone who wants to know how my setup works, it's like this:

    The blue arrows show the water flow (Pump -> Rad -> Maze 4 GPU -> MCW-6002 -> Rad -> Pump)

    The red arrows show air. There's holes in the bottom of the case, and in the stand the right rad is sitting on, below the PSU, which has a fan in the bottom to suck air through the rad as well as the fan on it.



    Just some more pics, a bit lighter:












    It's not as heavy as I thought it'd be, at 15kg you can find steel midicases the same weight.

    Of course, that's not including the W/C setup.....

    Waayyy too long, mainly because I stupidly put the Tee line after the pump rather than before (I wasn't concentrating) and it blue water backup when I tried to fill it. Then I had to empty it all, and then reversed the pump aroun.d It was 2am now and then I filled it up. Then I realsed because I'd reversed it I was pumping water into my MCW-6002 through the outlet, so I had to empty the setup AGAIN and completely re-tube it!

    But as a case it doesn't take that long to setup. The hard drive rails are an incredible idea, and save a lot of time. The only slight bother is the lack of motherboard tray, but there's so much space it doesn't make fitting a moterboard much of a problem.
