And here's the end result...
Mothball - I think it just goes to show that you don't have to throw hundreds at a case to create something half decent; not a laser cutter, CNC or SketchUp design in sight, just the translation of a mental image into the physical form with hand held tools and available materials to hand
Thank you for looking

Thank you for looking
oh wow
what cooler is that? Looks amazing!!
Thank you deFiniLoGy, I take it that means approval? lol
And as Mole has correctly stated it's a Zalman Reserator 3 Max, It's a great bit of kit, very efficient and has a HUGE plus point in that owing to it's flower design it also cools the Daughterboard and VRM's
A Wee Upgrade...
With Mothball up and running I decided to treat myself to a long overdue monitor upgrade this week, the method in the madness being I do a lot of photo editing and I'm attempting to teach myself CAD
Anyways I picked up an Asus MX299Q, very very happy with it; the picture quality is absolutely mind blowing!!! B)
However gaming at a resolution of 21:9 2560x1080 kinda stretches an Nvidia 760 just a touch and why have a quality monitor of that res and skimp on the GPU???
More Va Va Voom needed methinks
Enter a wee upgrade -
What we have here is the Powercolor PCS+ R9 290 4Gb, cute ain't she
She comes clocked at a sedate Core Speed of 1040MHz with the Memory running at 5400MHz out of the box
Powercolor have seen the light to install a backplate as standard, great quality to
(the stickers will stay on for now until the GPU is bedded in)
Heat issues??? No problems with that here lol
And here's some eye candy of the installed GPU -
Mothball now has graphical cojones, bloody great HUGE ones!!!

Thank you
May I ask why it's surprised you?
Personally I feel it's more challenging to create a clean looking non watercooled build in that the eye isn't drawn in a multitude of direction, with a watercooled build visually you'll be distracted by so many other elements and not focus on any specific given area.
lol how true Mole
Thank you, very much appreciated
You can never tell the contents of a book by just it's cover
Thank you, very much appreciated fella
