Why do you need 2 bottles :D

i just about filled my bay res with 1 bottle and a bit.
 
Iv always thought about water cooling but i think it would be to messy, thats what i think though, I might eventually jump into the water cooling side.
Nice work there steveo.

Are your fans not back to front for that lianli case? Mine had the one behind the cpu sucking in and the one over the gfx card sucking out.

changed it first thing when i got the case so that i had cold air blowing over the gpu and mobo and the hot air from the heatsink been sunked out works a treat as i did have them back the normal way once and my temps on the mobo and gpu went up 5 degrees :eek:

Nice one Steveo.

Very tidy job! :cool:

I just finished my first watercooling build on Friday - a bit nerve jangling but more than worth it. Just need to get a C2D (crappy celeron at the mo) and clock the bejesus out of it!

nope thats going to have to be a summer job thats when i come to give the system a clean that way nothing is in the way tbh am not sure how i can do it as the wheel bracket is in the way,so glad i went with a custom rig instead of a kit like a swiftech one yea it was more hassle but so much fun :D and i have achieved something i never thought i would
