More than a year after I started it, I finally got around to finishing this up. The chipset fan started screeching, then quit. It quit because it was no longer spinning. So I ordered a chipset block for it, from Danger Den. Here are some pictures of the loop. It's got a TDX on top of a 4200+, two DD Ione blocks on top of 8800GTs, and a DD chipset block (A8N). It's got a dual bay-res, triple pro-series Black Ice radiator with the slow S-Flex fans on it, and the pump is a DDC+ with Petra's top.

Got everything back in:

Looks Good. Nice and clean! Nice job. You could do some more on the Wire management, but that is one of the great things about Water Cooling... Airflow isn't as big of an issue
 
Looks nice man, & congrats on getting it finished up. I do agree on the wire management though, just for asthetics sake. Don't forget to lest us know how it goes w/ your temps / clocks too. ')
 
Looks like a pretty severe bend from the cpu block to the gpu block. I can't tell if it's kinking, but you might want to consider a 90 there.

I am absolutely terrible at wire management. In fact, I gave up on it. To make up for this fact, I build my machines in cases that don't have windows. It isn't, however, as bad as it used to be...

It's tight, but it isn't kinked:

The V1200 is the best case on the market IMO. I can always appreciate a build in one and yours is good and ambitious. However, your wire management is a bit lacking but can be fixed easily with that case(regardless of no side window). I have your case with pretty much the same setup..different hardware though.

Not trying to hijack but only want to show a fellow V1200 owner a few pointers.

I was able to run all my wiring behind the right panel with no mods. We both have front reserviors, lcd panel, top radiators, sli config, w/c..etc. So its safe to say our wiring needs are similiar. I put effort into the wiring but it wasn't hard at all with such a big case. I have a worklog if you anted to check it out. =)

Are you cooling all that on only 2 120mm Radiators?

Yes, and its been running perfect and SILENT for over a year and a half. ;) You don't need OMGSUPERl337MEGAQUADRUPLERAD cooling to get a nice stable and quiet system.
 
Wow these are pretty sweet WC setups. I'm currently getting the parts for my first WC setup as well. How are those Hose drive/worm clamps? Better than herbie clips and zipties?

I really like them. They're not very pretty, but they really hold the tubes on the fittings. I don't worry about them coming off or leaking, at all.
 
:confused:holy crap nice ness, i have a question, how do you get the water flowing at 1st start up? i had so much trouble getting mine to start, wonder if my problem was thermaltake p500 pump?

On mine, the line off of the reservior runs right into the pump's intake. When I fill the reservior, I lean the case to make sure the line to the pump is completely filled, priming the pump. Then when I put power to it, it's all ready to go. Depending on how your loop is laid out, that may or may not be possible.

Well if those were two 4870x2s or GTX280s...he probably would. Nice and clean. Love the way the worm clamps look. I use those as well.
