rotated 180 degrees from how it is in the pic.

Looking good though, any reason you made the rad box that shape?

i1ll do the 180degrees when i get new TIM
made it that shape just so it matches the case and get it up off the floor (less dust) also so i can have the RES at the front to monitor the level and easy filling. i may even put a Blue light in the res to match the light on top of the case but im not that into bright lights so i`ll see how it goes.

btw, how are you going to pass the tubes to the rad box if you have blocked off the water-cooling grommets with fans?

Like this
i just cut a hole in the floor and put some rubber protection round the rough edges, and one on the other side of the PSU for the fan controler wires to go through.

The colours go very well together, and i now they do... but i can't help but think the gold is FUGLY

Can't stand any of the gold on my mobo!

Anyway, that's just me... does look excellent!!

Kudos to you Cleeecooo for helping me pick the NICKEL plexi GPU block and the SR-1 rad both excellent good quality kit

panyan · 26 Dec 2011 at 14:05

i guess it is a personal choice, the barbs pick up on the capacitors on the board which looks nice - but if you dont like gold... then you dont like gold...

Very good. I've got that CPU waterblock and it is very good and I've got the same rads as well, all in all very good..

I wish they'd make nickel capacitors! Actually, that'd look terrible aswell. Nickel plexi ones however...
