First off i'm not sure where this should be posted, So if this is not the place could a Moderater please put it in the correct place. ;)

I have posted pictures of my rigs before but never a work log so please be easy on me and guide me in the right direction. :D

Please commit and suggest anything i am open to new ideas and suggestions.

I will start with the parts used in this build.

Parts:

Lian Li PC-V351 (I liked this case and the Antec P series case for the Micro ATX builds but in the end i chose this)
OCZ 700W PSU (Small size and good wattage)
EVGA X58 SLI Micro (Just a good M/B for a Micro build IMO)
64GB SSD (I was going to do two WD Raptor drives in Raid 0 but picked this up cheap so we will see)
1TB WD (For Media Drive)
XFX 5870 ( I had a 4890 W/C but switched it out for the newer 5870)
OCZ 1600MHz 6GB 3x 2GB (I was going to use Corsair as shown in the pictures below but used it in another rig so OCZ it is)
i7 975EE (I have had this for sometime and decided to use it here)

Cooling:

EK Quad Rad 120.4
EK Supreme CPU Block
EK 5870 GPU Block W/backplate
2x MCP355 Pumps with tops and res tube
Some Black Hose and a lot of BP items (Fittings and More)
NB Fans

So here we go the first pics:













Sorry about the pictures they were taken with my phone :confused:
I will update as i go. Thanks for looking so far. ;)

Here are some pics of the External rad stand so far:















I like these feet they are worth every penny spent on them!!! ;)

I'm using a BP quad rad grill and MNPCTech case feet to make the external rad mount shown. I have also used the same MNPCTech case feet on the case so they match.

I think i will be adding one more pump and top to this setup. I tested the flow and was not that happy with it. I will see later and make changes if needed!!!

I also changed out the res tube to a smaller sizes the 150 just looked to big on top the rad stand.

What do you guys think on adding a second pump to the loop? :confused:

Thanks Guys!!!

I finished drilling and installing the fittings to feed the rad (Some BP and Koolance Fittings):











I also had to cut the M/B tray for the rear mounting plate of the EK CPU block. As you can see in the pictures the standoffs were not tall enough to accommodate the mounting hardware:










Thanks for Loooking!!!

Thanks For Looking!!!

Looks nice. I'm interested in seeing how your v351 turns out. I watercooled mine as well. My worklog is in my sig. If you have any questions on fitting stuff in that case, ask and I may be able to help.
 
Not much of an update for you today. I have some screen shots from testing the external rad setup: (Nothing Great Just Quick Shots from a very short run!!)







And here are some very and i stress Verycrappy pics of my current area of attention. This is the progress i have made up to this point.

And the Pictures:











Thanks Again,

Nice temps!!!
I would kill for those when folding. I'm seeing 65'ish folding on the Q, and the gtx is around 80c.
