thanks. its a lian li PC-7 case. As for the drives, its actually a pretty easy mod. Do a search for "stealth cd drive mod + lian li" and you'll see a lot of how to articles. basically I just cut off the sides of the stock cd panel covers and double sided tape them to the CD drive door (some people take the entire front of their cd-rw's off but I'd rather not expose them to dust like that).

Made some changes to my PC70. I swapped the BIE out for a Chieftec core above the PS with a custom made aluminum shroud and duct to the case side. An aluminum fan was mounted on the top of the case to allow room for the shroud inside the case.

I also made a new reservoir as it appears Water Wetter was causing crazing (small cracks) and leaks at the ISP Weld On cement joints of my custom made reservoir. This one has no seams and uses O-rings for seals.

Here is my system:











The spec are:

Epox 8rda+ with vddmod 1,8v, xp 2100+ @ 2368mhz 215 x 11, Geforce TI4400 @ gpu 305 mem 630, Seagate barracuda 80 gb and 120 gb.

txx, looks nice. just one question... why the elbow between the cpu and nb? I know on a 8rda+ its tight running tubing between the cpu and nb and 1/2" tubing will tend to flatten at that short radius, but if you prebend the tubing in hot water or put zip ties to hold its shape, you can do it without the elbow which is gonna kill some of your water flow. but then again, its after the cpu, so maybe its Ok... I'll let the flow experts comment on that.

I went with that elbow because I hat alot of problems with the tube bending all the time. My temps are OK and my system are almost totally silent. So i satisfied.

SCompRacer-
I was looking at your case and I cannot determine where the fresh air flows from to cool the radiator. The back panel behind the radiator is solid I believe and the fan is above sucking air.

Where is the intake?
Thanks

Sparx look SComp Rig Here

It's vented from the outside of the case.

Update for mine. Got a new PSU, took the shroud off the heatercore (worthless for my setup), added UV leaktest dye and a blacklight. Next I need a blacklight for the bottom half and I need to organize my wires more. Can't see my lights well with a flash and all, but it looks pretty good IMO.

The cool thing is since I'm using dex-cool (orange antifreeze) instead of regular green stuff, my rez is orange with whitish/yellow backlit LEDs, and my hoses are green from the dye.

Amended first rig

replaced WhiteWater with SlitEdge, added T fill line



Second rig

WhiteWater, Heatercore, home-made aluminium shroud, Eheim 1250. 2100B set at 16.5x133 @1.85v using in-socket wire-trick

I did forgot to mention that didn't I? Thanks to Bret for the assist.



I used the hole I made in the MB side panel for the duct to the BIE. Gonna live with that as I have never seen MB side panels offered for sale.
