    Project erm... tight fit.

    no idea what to call it, got some bits and pieces today.

    so put them in my case.

    this was how it was when I started:

    then i cut a huge great hole in the top:

    then i put a radiator in, and a aqua thingy:

    today the camera battery ran out. but i put a aquajobby grill on top, and a motherboard inside.

    and now i cant wait to switch it on properly - the cooling is on a 24 hr+ leak test.

    oh still got HD's and allsorts to do - and make a nice face plate thing... sigh, and put up a shed.

    Looks good, triple rads are pretty useful. Loads of questions though!

    What kind of case is it?

    Where does the tubing go after the graphics card in the bottom left of the last photo?

    How are those Sharkoon fans? I've been thinking of replacing my Akasa Ambers with them but I can't find any reviews of them?

    out a hole i made, for drainage in the future If needed, I can drain it in about 2 mins, and install a second rad underneath the first one, either double or triple, hence me putting the fans there

    ah, not bad, nice air - but if you want quiet, you probably want to use a fan controller with em! No where near as noisy as my PSU used to be though. The 1000's are quieter, but less air - figured if i went for the faster I could choose the exact volume!
