Really sorry peeps, got majorly side tracked with this. The project isn't dead yet, just hibernating ;) Nothing much to show really, I did have to re-polish the Maze4 GPU block and took a few pictures of it alongside the Cascade SS. :)

This is coming along great, keep it up Jess :)

Tried a different PCI slot?

This is some amazing work right here! Hats off mate :cool:

Not true - the pumps have pretty much identical flow rates and head pressure. As for noise, my Hydor L30 is pretty much silent ;)

After picking up a Cascade SS along with its very own custom A64 mounting plate (cheers Paul!) I decided to go for an old revision Maze4 GPU block. That way I could give it the shiny treatment so the Cascade didn’t look out of place in all its silver glory :) Here’s the Maze4-1 in its...

I've got a bottle here and on the back it has the hazardous substance sign (black cross in an orange square) Undearneath it has written "reizend" which translates to charmingly apparantly :confused: :p Either way, it's not something you should go and pour down drains...

Yep :D

Has anyone noticed that big bore loops offer a better money to performance ratio? Anyone noticed that when AC release products, it appears they focus more on the form rather than the performance?

lol... Black Ice Pro 2 - $29.99 Black Ice Pro 3 - $29.99 I know what I'd choose :p

I find if it's going to leak It'll do it in the first couple of days which allows you to deal with it due course. My loop has been running for about 6 months, after a few weeks you stop checking for leaks and stuff :p

Let's just say I'm now staff over at Coolercases UK... :D Cheers for the feedback, more updates soon!

My guide can be found here. Hope it helps :)

What size tubing and what pump(s) are you using as those radiators cause major restriction! Great project, the title says it all really :cool:

Thanks for the feedback! That hard drive cage is going nowhere, trust me! Vibration shouldn't be a problem as i'll be mounting the aquadrive using thick tape ;)

I've got the Enermax copy of that case. First thing I did was take the stupid thing out :p Big waste of plastic imo. Heat rises so the wind tunnel is going to do next to nothing. What's the point of trying to vent air out the bottom back of the case?

Shucks man...:o 16 now mind ;)

Cheers lads :)

Taking a break from the radiator for a bit… I got the pump mounted. I popped the motherboard into the case just to make sure it wasn’t going to obstruct anything. The M5 mounting holes marked. The pump mount was also drilled and the holes then countersunk for the M5 bolts. Sorry...

Now that I had approximate locations for the components inside the case, I started finalising the radiator mounting. The original plan was to rest the radiator upside down across the centre brace and drill holes for the barbs to go through the drive bay cage. Once I had the Aquadrive and its...

I'd loose the right angles on the reservoir. I'd say the performance is about right for that block :)

Have the holes with the compression fittings been re-bored? If not you've still got the restriction caused by that.

Thanks ;)

After removing the HDD cage to accommodate the BIX3, I knew I needed a new method of mounting the hard drives. I figured it would be nice to use Danger Den’s new Aquadrive in the mod. However, once the radiator and fans were installed, space in the drive bay cage became a major issue as it left...

Definately a jigsaw, I find a dremel offers little control over the cuts you're making.

That's true, kinda defeats the object of having an 120mm fan at the bottom as that's venting cold air out the case :confused:

Well, if it turns out anything like your first you've got nothing to worry about... Subscribed :cool:

The relay hides at the rear of the PSU, it’s secured by a double sided pad :) Once that was all tested and working I got the PSU braided up in UV orange, it’s tedious work but well worth the effort imo. The result of a full day’s work. I’ve yet to add a chrome grill to the fan ;)...

I’m still here and have been making alot of progress with this project, just don’t have much to show in the way of pictures yet ;) However, I’ll do my best in taking you through what I’ve done to the PSU. Here’s the Enermax Liberty PSU I’ll be using – another one of the CPC prizes :)...

Looks good :) Do you really need the right angle on the pump inlet though?

The springs compress to give a downward pressure which should result in better waterblock contact :cool: It looks to me like he is using them but they've compressed so it doesn't look like a spring anymore lol. Get a waterblock on that card already. Looking great all the same ;)

Nice start there bud :) What are your plans for the front bezel? Meshing it like mnpctech's case would look sweet!

Yeah, just unclip it :)

Throwing in my £0.2... I recently got my hands on a Danger Den Aquadrive, to say the least I'm a little disappointed with what I found. Being the type of person I am, I opened the thing up straight away, I'm glad I did! Here's why: The delrin flow sections still had millings...

Too true :D

You guys are getting slightly confused. I very much doubt a 120.3 radiator will offer better temperatures than a 120.2 when tested with the same blocks etc. However, the 120.3 will be able to remove more heat from the loop at a faster rate. It comes into it's own when you're using a loop...

The PA will perform better and will be quieter :)

De-ionised water and ACFluid (clear additive to prevent corrosion etc.)

hahaha, cheers, it's appreciated :D It's currently my main rig while the A64 one is being built, I'll most likely add another HDD and use it as a server after that.

AFAIK, the L series are Hydor Seltz branded.
