And the tubing is a bit hard to pull off once it's on.

Only a good thing

Well i moved the rad to the top, still needs a bit of work though. The tubing looks a bit stretched but theres plenty of slack in it. At least this means i can put the side panel back on

Can't everything fit inside the case?

benjo · 7 Aug 2008 at 15:33

Probably, and i'll look into it in the near future. But i just wanted to make everything with a bit of space, as it's my first watercooling i didn't want it to be awkward

do you the fans sucking air out of the radiator? or blowing through it?

Also is that fesser one the red or orange stuff?

Going to be doing mine over the weekend!!

I've got the fans sucking air, blowing upwards. And it's Fesar Red

I don't like the look of it when stuff is sticking outside the case

I actually like it being on the outside

that looks really nice

i would be very happy with. It looks so clean with all the cables hid. Is your GPU still fan cooled then?

Benjo mate, im just measuring my loop out, i have attached a couple of barbs to the res/pump (i have bought same barbs/tubing as you), now the tubing is a really tight fit....which is good, but when you screw the outer part of the barb to the main part of the barb, there is no additional contact, am i missing something?

Its as they are just for show, i was expecting the outer part to screw down and help secure the tubing :confused:

benjo · 7 Aug 2008 at 22:51

Thats the same with mine as well mate, i think the outer ring that screws on is to just hide the fitting :confused:

The barbs are still a really strong fit though.. I'll ask yewen about it

Ok cool

, i just think they should have a tubing clip, or similar to hold them firm?

ps. i take it yours have not blown off yet then :eek:

Nope mine are still going fine

Still paranoid about it though. The day i put it together, i drove to a lan party. Never driven so slow in my life
