Haha thanks!
Its brilliant. Colour is very vibriant and after 6 months or so use (i think) and still looks the same.

Hi everyone,
Firstly apologies for not answering questions in my build thread! I haven't been back to look at this in a long long time.
As for the questions Something Else pretty much answered them for me since he knows my build quite well from start to finish
1. Why did you choose to use two 120mm rads instead of a single 240mm for the front? Which enermax fans are those?
As something else has said, i use to have a mini P180 which to fit a front rad i had to use 2 120mm rads. The fans i am using at the front are Enermax Clusters in white with the White LED's.
2. On the top on the top 120mm rad, where does the tubing go? It seems to disappear! Does it go up to the top rad on the right side of it?
The tubing goes round the back of the case hidden out of sight and connects to the other side of the Rad. This is because i am using a XFlow radiator so i have ports on both ends of the rad.
3. Is your pump in the out of sight area?
My pump is directly beneath my reservoir for best flow.
4. Which rads are those?
Front 2 rads are EK 120mm thick rads and top rad is a Black ICE GT stealth Xflor 240mm rad
5. Which pump are you using?
I am using a Swiftech DDC 1T pump rated at 18w i believe.
I will get a close up tonight for you no problem
Hope this helps

Thanks very much for your answers! I await the pictures
Also, 2 more things
1. I have some cluster fans like yours, but they came with these weird rubber fittings and screws which don't fit; how did you fit them and maintain a clean look?
I went out and bought longer radiator screws with a bigger head so they would sit nicely in the hole indentations on the case. You need to becareful though not to get too longer screws as they can puncture the radiator.
2. Have you seen that Corsair released a new version of its AF fans which now have leds? I'm sure that when they release the SP version they would look great in your build
I have not, but it seems interesting! Will consider getting some if they do it in a variety of colours to match my theme
Here are the pictures you requested:

Oh yeah! I forgot Parvum put my thread up on their project logs section!
Thanks Ocmanus, I know this thread is abit jumbled up with all previous builds mixed in as well. I should sort it out really...
There has been no real updates since my last one except another 8gb of Corsair Dominator Platinum Ram. Does look the boss though with the faint LED's!

UPDATE!
SLI GTX 680!
Thanks to Cypto today, I'm finally going SLI. Done some testing and performance is sweeeeet! Loving the extra grunt! Would love to put this card under water as well though but not having much luck finding a identical Waterblock.

Jay just bought Mini P180
Haha im comtemplating going back to mine just cos its better for SLI. Its just too cramped inside my case right now. What colour did you go for?
Any pics matey?
Black, only ordered it today should be here wednesday
Need to work out what fans to get now
May need to pick your brains when it comes to modding it m8
Feel free to ask me questions mate. I might be joining you shortly in the mini series groupie! Haha! Lots of mods you can do like window mod, removing center ledge mod so you can fit radiators. Even the top 5'25" inch bay can be modded out for other stuff if needed. What i do love on the case though is the amount of space at the back of the case! You can fit so much cabling in there!!
They are brilliant and so clean looking. I just wish it was slightly longer to accommodate longer cards and front rads support.
Hmmm i will take a look for you mate.
Thanks mate
, its still being modded lol. Needs tidying up abit and another waterblock.Looked up that strike-x looks like a few problems with it which is a shame was ideal hehe will keep looking. Sorted getting window mod done £30 + postage
Still not decided on what fans to use yet will deffinatly be replacing that top 200mm probably with the NZXT red led one.
If i go WC would this work with cpu / gpu and x3 120mm rad? :- Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige Jetstream
Ah thats a shame mate, the hunt goes on then! Shame antec haven't updated their product range with new tech. Even if they added usb 3.0 to the mini p180, it would attract a lot of potential people.
Thought you was gonna get the LED AF fans from
Corsair? What brands do you have in mind? You could look at the phobya or noiseblocker e-loop fans. They are super quiet and perform better than AP and other similar spec fans. It would work fine but i would consider something with abit more pressure like a DDC pump.
How much is the coolermaster eisberg?
My top fan wasn't so bad, i remember it being the quieter part of my system lol. Where are you getting your window mod done by the way?
Just a quick note to everyone...
I am looking for a second Waterblock from EKWB... Looks like this:
If you happen to have one and wanna sell it, i'll happily take it off you! You'll have to send me a message via trust though if you don't have selling rights on here yet. Otherwise feel free to post.

Yeah they have lol, i e-mailed them and they told me it was EOL. The only have the CSQ Blocks which i dont like the look off.
Haha screw the 290! Get a gtx 690 instead! About same price anyway for double the power.
What colour is your board? White goes with everything though. I did a mix of red and white. In my case the red flows into the white, looks beautiful lol
