And thats the highlights of this build:D It was a tough ride, and I hope you like it!
 
Great Job - IMO the bar has just been raised!!!
Really nice to see the custom side of PC's going strong and right here is a fantastic example.
 
At first I was like, 'Meh.'

But now I'm like, "So sweet."

...Then I seen the video and 'Boom goes the dynamite'

That waterloop is sick!
Do you have any plans to put a system in there that can actually use it?
 
d00d!!! This build is superb. Those solid blocks clean up the install nicely.
 
Gahhhhh, I found this on youtube and it is in my favourites(not that much makes it there)
Love the video as much as the build.
SO PRO, HANS!
 
"I have seen things you people wouldn't believe."

Words like "Amazing" doesn't do it justice.
 
I've never done any water cooling, much less case modding--but I have to say this thing impressed me greatly!...;)
 
I just discovered the wonders of acrylic and water cooling. WoW, I am amazed at your work.
 
This is amazing, dare I say close to one up'ing on Frank? I believe you have raised the bar on a CaseLabs build, that's for sure!
