Hey guys, back with another build.
Although i still have to finish Coolsair, i was approached by Nanoxia to do a watercooled build in a Deep Silence 1, i thought this would be the perfect opportunity to upgrade by parents pc for them, my dad is a bit of an RTS nut and his pc is somewhat lacking for when the new C&C generals gets released. i also thought this would be a good chance to make a really nice tidy rig to take to iSeries in the summer, and that is the plan.
Don't worry, Coolsair will get finished, been talking with Pexon and Nate from E22 about it a bit, and i think theres gunna be a few hardware and color changes going on there, but ill divulge that in the future.
Before i start off with the pictures, id like to say a massive thanks to Eddy at Nanoxia for sorting the case out, but he has also generously supplied the Fans, braided extensions and possible a window side panel. So here is your shout out Eddy and Nanoxia!
The proposed specs of this rig are as follows;

4x2gb Corsair Dominator 1600mhz Cas 8

Big box all the way from germany! this thing was heavy, poor old guy who lived opposite initially took delivery of it, took him literally 5 minutes to carry it across the street.

A good image of the Deep Silence Fans, these will be used through out the build, i know they don't match the green on the sniper board, but they do go very well with the Nanoxia Extensions that were provided.

If the image is larger than 1280 pixels wide please resize, link only or put in spoiler tags. Thank you.
Here it is the Sniper2 in place with some of the Nanoxia Extensions, now you see how well they go with the braided cables. Also a nice shot of the Supreme HF block, i know its not the new supremacy, but i've always have a little soft spot for the aesthetic of this block, so when i saw one going for a very good price, had to snap it up.
Anyway waiting for some of the water cooling goodies to arrive so more updates too guys, stay tuned!
