Thanks mate. This install has been staggered over a couple of months and i'm finally happy with it

That looks fantastic. And kudos for using a reasonable power supply too - none of that £200 1kW nonsense that seems to have infected the forum.

Are there any vents or holes under the rad on the bottom of the case?

slowrunner · 17 Nov 2008 at 18:01

Very neat, though the anti-kink coils want adjusting a little.

ZX-10R · 17 Nov 2008 at 18:37

nicely sorted

UltimateBadger · 17 Nov 2008 at 18:37

Wow - nice - w/c is definitely my Christmas project!

Yeh, there is a custom PA120.2 cut

DJ_Switch · 17 Nov 2008 at 21:02

Ahh! Nice.

It's a classy looking stealth of a build. Definitely has quite a refined look.

Blackhawk47 · 17 Nov 2008 at 21:05

very nice build there. myself would get some lighting in there but other than sound work.

the sharkoon silent eagles go very well with this case.

PaulyD · 17 Nov 2008 at 21:07

Nice one dude!

Now sort out those coils as said before!

Thanks mate - there is actually lighting, it's hidden behind the top side rail next to the PA120.3.

Nice build I like the colour scheme and that's a good overclock too dude... Is it safe to use 1.592v on a QX9650 though :confused:

lankey · 17 Nov 2008 at 21:32

very nice looking build, makes me wanna go w/c

Sorry mate, should have made it more clear, that clock was just for the super PI run - I run it at 4.2 @ 1.4 for a nice safe 24/7 clock.

Very nice beh, what sort of temps are you getting at load?
