Hello everyone,
My name is Jay Style and I'm new here. After coming here for so long and watching everyone demonstrate so many amazing skills and learing ohhh so much i finally signed up and assembled my own water cooled rig. I am moving up from a dell 533 mhz which i have used daily since 1998. Below are the specs of my new rig, please leave any comments you wish. Pictures will be up as soon as my digital camera arrives...thanks again for welcoming me into this amazing community and I hope this post doesn't cause any prolems...

I ran into some issues with the case. Koolance doesn't make parts that apply to the new 10mm tubing AND the hard drive coolers don't work on side mount drives so I had to get a hard drive cooler from Asetek which mounts in a 5.25 bay. I am going to rid myself of the entire hard drive bay area to make room for some little bobble head, lol. Also I needed blocks to cool my cpu and video card from dangerden. maze4 was perfect. My friend asked me why the new koolance, the answer is ease of use...this is my first attempt at watercooling, cable management is huge to me, I can't have a messy case so let's hope it all turns out well...
