Oh dear, Some of these picture are giving me cravings.

Which isn't good, because I'm pretty sure I'll end up flooding my motherboard.

the mobo doesnt have to get flooded if you leak test and air it before you put any hardware in

Think that would be a Lian Li v2000. Might want to checks stevos sig

Quick question stevo, doesn't look like you have your gpu in the loop so i would think that your useing the nice side pci slot cooler, but is it sucking or blowing with a gts dual slot cooler i was woundering what would be best? (have one myself but going for an x2)

the gpu is my next task thats if artic dont release a new cooler for the 8800gts (g92)

the side fan is indeed an intake fan i also have 2 out takes just above the gpu so there is no build up of hot air in the top of the case so my temps for my gpu idle at around 35/38c and loads are around 50c when gaming

heres some pics of the final (i say final but when is computer building ever final lol) case, i would really like to have a second loop in there for my gpu but the only place thats viable(sp) is on the back

enjoy and thanks for the comments guys

I think , i can see some silver/black screws just on the inside of the grill, think that means he screwed the fans to the grill, then grill to case... i think

you are right sir

heres the build sorry about the fingerprints and mess on the case thats the only curse of having a black case

i did try to mount the rad in the front but it was to tall

shame

the fan bracket came with the v2000 am afriad i no you can buy them as a unit but have never seen them about on the net either in the uk or us

thanks for the kind words as well guys my next purchase is a asus sound card to replace the none working xfi fatalty crap that i have in there now, last time i jump on the creative band wagon :mad:
