very nice, how did you mount the res like that? do the case holes line up already?

1 was idea, the other needed a small amount of doctoring but nothing major, just the right size res for the space IMO..

thanks, Im gonna wet a 700D and was gonna go same pump as you with xspc res top as it's my first tAste of water plus it has good performance and ease of use for beginners. however I always loved the look of cylindrical reservoirs they can really set the look of a build off and then tuck away the pump like you have done.hmm

can't believe you changed so much in your pc in just one night!

Very nice build the red looks a lot better than the yellow.if you not going to braid your fan cables just spray them mat black to go with your colour theme.What coolant have you used in your build ? cheers

NUUU YELLOW IS WHERE ITS AT!
I love lan party boards, they look so cool under UV

littlepuppy · 10 Jun 2010 at 15:51

LAN party has gone into my LAN rig so its not gone altogether

Coolant is Feser.....

Used XP from here b4 (mellow yellow) nowhere near as good....

Waiting for postman as a going tok replace bottom 14cm fan ith uplighter like the rear with white fins.... so should throw some more into into the case...

XSPC pump has been great.... really good flow rates..

A very nice build indeed, are you proud? You should be

Get some sleeving or some cable extensions, that'd truly finish it off

GJS1 · 11 Jun 2010 at 22:04

agreed, the red looks so much better

subbed

Looking good

littlepuppy · 11 Jun 2010 at 23:55

OK here it is

Very nice, toying with idea of replacing my ageing Antec 800 with the 800D.

3t3P · 13 Jun 2010 at 16:26

some well placed 4'' white cathodes might look nice in there too with the red

nice tho

roman59 · 13 Jun 2010 at 16:37

Got a unused 800d sitting here atm :0

roman59 · 13 Jun 2010 at 16:38

Mate what red cold cathode did u buy and where from? I bought mine and they come in pair. Does ur cathode glows bright orangy after a while?

Looks a bit too red now lol. Looks great though, you should be proud.

LOL, I actually thought similar, its amazing how much light the reds throw out... I may try some white light...

They were bought from one of OCUK's major competitors as I couldnt buy them here....

OCUK are much better though and I would not reccomend anyone else!!!

WingZero30 · 17 Jun 2010 at 13:07

It would be nice if OcUk could store up red cold cathodes. The red seem to be quite hard to come by compared to blue and then you have to be sure that red cathodes aren't really wrapped up as pink or orange.
