I want to have 2 x 120.3 rads,MM said i could have room for 3 if i take out the rear psu port :eek:
Plus i like the horizon`s motherboard tray and i may go for a custom paint to to make it extra special.

I got a shuttle a while back and not tested it yet so it`s as good a time as any while i wait on the new case. :)

so you getting a second mm case, how much is that gonna cost The motherboard tray is nice, but a wee flakey, ie wobley, and is removeable, god knows why,btw clone m8 if your going to add a fan to the bottom, i presume your going to get rid of the psu port down below and use the one above??, if your going to do the above, its going to make it a very tight squeeze at the bottom, by the time you add the fan/rad then blot on the hds to the rad, oyu will near on end up touching the ftont dvd drive bays, are you sure thats good for air flow??

The back end will will look like this,remove the top psu port and move the bottom one to the middle with 120mm fan each side of it.

Here is the front.

Also toying with the idea of having 2 x original top`s fitted left and right,keep the window and one 120mm fan and have the top fitted with a big window. :D

aha yes the front might work, only problem i can see is the pipework coming out of the rad, it might just knock the mobo.

UPDATE:

i been very busy, had to change the loop becuase of motherboard.say no more, anyhow got the new abit board, very nice board indeed, a very nice touch is th eleds under the board, because of the orientation of my board, it is a very nice effect in deed, rite as i siad watercooling is now up and running, moved the pump above the right handed drive bay, a bit out the way for my liking as i like the look of the pump, and wiht the le din looks very nice.
motherboard installed all updated and working, hds all 5 of them installed, xp installed this time, gad damnit i miss my gamespy arcade, i think i will put vista back on when service pack 1 is out, or might dual boot on one of the other hds, any how sorted most of the lights, i need to buy some new ones, as the akassa ones i had were crap to be honest, and broke way to easily, ive got a masive job osmetime of tyding up the cabling thats going to be a nightmare in itself.

need some advice please, cant now afford my ram i wanted. sobs.

i need some descent strong uv cathodes, some green ones and a couple of blue ones, any advice please on makes, ect?
And also i need a good 400mm northbridge cooler any adivce on a good make of one of those please, one with a led or without, please.
thx guys
will update with a few photos
soon...
 
Clone : You know me m8, always on the salvage hunt. I was toying with the idea of taking the PA160 off you but I dunno if switching out my Stealth GT would be worth it.

DataVampire : Beware of using too many of the different cathodes as they can drown each other out. UV light works best when there are not other light sources.

sorry m8 had a nightmare of a time, motherboard was sent back with nps, i tired it. it worked perfectly on air, as soon as i put cpu block on got nothing again, got fed up with shop, saying the warrenty is void if its watercooled, wich is complete and utter tosh, considering, the asus p5dh deluxe comes with a mosfett fan for when you water cool, go figure...
anyhow i have had to order a new motherboard. from a competitor, Abit IN9 32X MAX 680i Socket 775 DDR2 7.1HD audio ATX with PCI-E WIFI,depnding on the staff on ock the psu i ordered a few weeks ago,could well be the last thing i order from said shop.
not happy with the service i have resieved, asus board will not now again boot up!!!
so i have to wait until tomorrow for new motherboard.

what is underneath is empty space m8, once the two drive bays are installed and once you use the two rear 120mm fans hd bracket there isnt that much room for much else, as the hd brackets bolt onto the back of the 120mm fans.

Quite a lot of mobo's come with the setting to disable system bootup if no CPU fan is connected. This may make sense considering on air it was fine and as soon as you remvoed the HSF and went to water it wouldn't turn on. ANyway, if you still have the mobo it might be worth checking out.

Thank you for the sugestion, yes i still have the board, i have tried that, inever once started up the board without iether a fan of the original air cooler i was running, or a normal fan in it or the lead form the pump into it, the blue one that meausers rpm, thx anyhow, btw been doing computer near on 22 years, im also qualified, and so know a thing or two about it, its just water i know nothing about lol, anyhow, yes i have tried it all, starting motherboard up with no ram, and hearing no beeps is a good indicator that something is wrong wiht the board, the funny part/anoying part is when i resieved it back form the ockuk it worked, once mind, then bang off again, i have done a lot of reading about it, its quite a common problem, tried booting with minima parts in, ie 1 stick of ram amd graphics card only, cleared cmos, taken cmos battery out for a 1 min, tried it all, i still cannot get the damned thing working
it is under guantee, i am not happy about it at all, they should replace it, as it clearly has a fault!!!!
 
Ok guys i have managed to get it all up and running, only a few things nigling me now, such as i got to get soem new uv lights as the akassa ones are a) not that well built, and b) not that bright.
and also my oldest thought it woudl be good to put my case on the floor, in doing so he bust all of the cathodes i placed under neathe so i gotta buy some new oens to go underneath, but i dont want any akssa ones, any body know of some good makes available in the uk please.

right here is some pics in no order, there not the best quality im not happy about the wiring wich needs sorting out.
