That is the only picture I can get atm. It is just leak testing and bleeding.

I just got this rig up and running. It replaces my A64 3400+ [email protected] and X800XT system. So much faster and I haven't even started my usual go at overclocking.
Took a few days to fabricate all the new brackets for my trusty old waterblocks. (Swiftech MCW5000 and MCW50)

I found some better pics of my rig:

 

[TigerLord]

Sorry for the blurry pictures, my P&S has issues and I'm saving for a K10D so ...

This is the first time ever I built my own PC and it took me quite a while, and I really need to thank Arcygenical publicly because he helped me tremendously...

And my desktop ... with the overclocking windows on the right:

these are my first and second attempts of watercooling.

here's what mine looked like last year:

i changed a few things and finished this a few days ago:

*don't mind the fingerprint smudges, i don't have a window so i don't care to clean them but i will when i feel like it

 

[Tilde84]

Enjoy!

I am getting some odds and ends in within the week's end, and I'll definitely be cleaning some of the stuff up, including tubing. Built the box myself. Could be worse. Plan on adding cable management, acrylic front panel, temp meter, etc.

[Dark Prodigy]

DarProdigy i see you don;t have your hard drives hooked up.

Thankyou for the compliment That's exactly what I was attempting to achieve with my stealth wiring techniques. I made and sleeved the SATA power wiring harness specifically to accommodate the Lian-Li drive cage and HDD's. I also used right angled SATA cables. Here is a closeup:

I'm not one of those guys that post pics of his system and everything is not connected trying to achieve an illusion of a cleanly wired system.

They're hooked up. SATA cables routed under each drive and SATA power rather than molex power. Look closely.

You are correct.

Same fluid, never refilled.

Built on the box making sure it works before I put water on it.

Loop is as follows:

Laing DDC-3.2 w/ Petra's Top
HWLabs 480 GTX
Dtek Fuzion CPU Block
EK 8800 GTS Full Coverage Block
EK Mutli-Res (250, I think, can't remember, it's the small one though)

Yes, it's cramped with the 480GTX mounted INSIDE the case, but I have dogs and small kids who come into the room often, can't have fans or things with tubing attached to my $1500+ PC laying around

If anyone could suggest to me a good UV dye, I would really appreciate it. I'm using Petra's UV Clear/Blue dye right now, but even after I dumped nearly the entire bottle of it into my loop, it faded no less than 12 hours later :[

[carholmes]

Heres my first loop. Really helped with temps and noise. Everything is so quiet now that the loudest things are my hard drive and my chipset cooler. I even considering getting a block for the chipset, that is if I can find one that fits without the barbs or tubing hitting my video card.
Loop consists of:
7/16in Masterkleer tubing
Fuzion
MCW-60
MCR-320
5/8in OD Tee (Helps alot for faster bleeding)
MCP-655

I believe i posted here b 4, meh why not again

My loop:
D5>Black Ice GT Stealth 240>TDX>MAZE4 (chipset)>Black Ice GT Stealth 120>MAZE4 (GPU)>Micr Res> and back to D5

It looks little bit messy but i took a full advantage of my mobo, 4 satas bottom chamber, bunch of USBs and FireWire ports (uGuru and case), uGuru and X-Fi panels. Bunch of cathodes, bunch of fans, alsmot all of them are connected to mobo. Try to wire manage that, i guarantee that you will not able to

Black Tygon rocks btw!
