Rerouted all my tubing this weekend and I couldn;t be more pleased. Idle temps dropped 3 degrees. Not sure if it was from shortenign the path, or removing the 2 90" fettings I had inline. In any case, it looks cleaner (I think), and runs cooler. I love it.
Big thanks to Cornelius 0_0 for badgering me about rerouting them :D, and for the "what's the best loop pattern" thread which indicated that I had not run my tubing in the optimal flow path.

Can I quit draining this thing now and actually enjoy it? :D

Oh, and added a Vantec Stealth in the rear to pull a little more heat out of the case. I'm still unhappy with having like ZERO airflow for my 6800's memory. It got so hot during benching that 2 of the RAMsinkes fell off (thermal tape melted haha). Guess I can;t whine too much. Card runs 420/1150 all day long and no crashing. I just hate knowing it's cooking under there.
 
I like this machine, A LOT better then your old one =).

Good job, nice routing, I like. Nice system.
 
Looks very sheek :) Btw, what is a Santa Cruz card? Some kind of sound card?
 
Hey man.
Could I get a few more pics in better light? I'm in the midst of deciding how I want to lay my WC system out in a PC-65. I'd love to see how you mounted everything, especially the rad/res.
Thanks.

Excellent! I want water cooling so bad... the temperature reader is totally bad ass. I am definitely going with something like that for my next rig.
 
Ohhh no way you got the Corsair readable display sticks!!! I want those. My LED sticks should display memory usage, not activity.. oh well.

Want to buy another set of Corsair activity LED's? ;)
 
Heh, would be a nice addition, but 2 gigs is already enough :p
 
The LED displays from the memory -- is that actually displaying something other than the info. on the memory??...if so, what are those things / where did you get them?

Corsair XPERT Series.
It displays:
Temp, Voltage, FSB, CAS latency, and a few other things I forget. You can also customize it to display any text messages.

I'll try to get some more pics of my setup. I flushmounted a 2x120 BlackIce Xtreme in the top (tight fit but it made it), and then hacked the lower drive cage with my Dremel to allow the pump to fit in the cage along with my 2 drives. The resevoir had a side outlet which I thought was going to ruin me, but luckily the Lian-Li drive cage has these huge circular holes in it. I used Dynomat to build up the floor to the side resevoir inlet lined up with the hole. A little sanding and a 90 degree barb later, it fits perfect. If you look close you can see where I cute the top of the drive cage as well.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. This is my 1st WC rig, and I'm hooked!

BTW, Where's Cornelius 0_0? I did this for him damnit!!! :p
