Check it out guys, took me 4 days straight to build with my grandpa. Specs are such : Hydor L30, Dtek Procore w/ 7v modded Aluminum fan ( 79cfm @ 12v), Dtek WW, 1/2 ID tubing, 5 1/2 bay resevoir. I LOVE IT. Temps never rise more than 4.5c above ambient (as taken by p4 diode sensor). It's a really great system, and was a fun project to build.
First time I installed the p4 adapter plate, I shorted out my motherboard. I took a dremel to it, thanks to Danny's advice (from Dtek Customs) and cut away wherever there was a resistor. I then covered it with electrical tape, attaching the tape with super glue at the corners for paranoia's sake. The system is amazing in my opinion. I'm running around 26-30db tops right now. I really need to get a gpu block for my 9800 pro. And yeah, that's Mushkin Black lvl2 pc3500 you see there
(SORRY! ). I sealed the water block with some rooftop silicone sealant because I kept getting leaks. I realized I hadn't tightened the clamps all the way, so I did that first of course. The sealant is extra safety precaution. I leak tested it for 48 hours before using it . Pump is quiet as all hell, thanks to a few rubberbands which I use to suspend it with (it is in the back you can't see it). The UV dye is next week, as well as a window kit which is coming soon. All holes you see in the side panel were done by me freehand with a dremel. I used a hole saw to grind into the metal a bit for an outline (the holesaw was only strong enough for wood and plastics). Enjoy the pics!
