Why bother? no offense, but airflow isn't an issue with hardware you have no hope of overclocking with. Does your case have a side window?

Because you can....

Mine's getting a side window at some point! Anyway when someone pops over and you whip the sidepanel off, would you rather it was a complete mess, or a nice, tidy work of art. :P
 
The water cooling cooling looks neat but I really don't like the look of the hard drive bay front panel, I think it ruins the cases lovely smooth lines hahaa!
 
Thanks for the kind words guys.

This is my first ever attempt at water cooling, and I personally think (without sounding big headed!!) that I didn't do that bad of a job!!!

Though, now that it is up and running, there are lots of things that I am not quite happy about, and so in the new year I will be doing a lot of changes to this system, like for instance, my current rad is a 2nd hand Aqua Computer triple rad, so I want to change this for a Thermochill 120.4 and 120.2, I also want to get another DDC with XSPC restop, and the EK blocks for the UD5 as well, I also need to stealth my DVD drive as well, and have the internals powder coated in red, I'm also not to happy with the cable sleeving, as I only used extensions for my PSU, which has made it really untidy behind the mobo tray, so I will be re-doing all of the sleeving, only this time I will just sleeve my PSU's cables instead of extensions, but this is all things that I will do in the new year when I have more money to spend!!! :D

About the HDD bay device, I was a little bit put off with it to begin with, as I also felt it spoilt the clean lines of the TJ07, but it's grown on me, and it is a lot better than the mod I had planned on doing with one of the original HDD cages that came with the case.

@DJ Switch, the sleeving I used on this rig was some Dense Weave red+black sleeving, from another e-tailer that I can't mention because of forum rules, but if you just google it, you should find the stuff I used in the first hit on google..

That red sleeving looks nice Davyboy, can't wait to see the case after the internal powdercoating too. Good luck when you get round to it all in the new year :).
 
Had the camera out today so i thought id show some pics of my new rig :)

Feels great to get that old M-atx mobo out of my antec 1200 :P. Not a new case but a lot of new parts inside (Mobo, RAM, CPU and cooler).
