Christmas has in FACT come early for me this year.

With the wide availability of the EVGA SR-2 again, a lot of air cooled SR2 builds have been showing up on our ‘to do’ list.

this particular one caught my eye and with an outrageous 'NathWraith Special' being put down on paper, the initial design for this system had been put into place a while ago. The customer has opted for the best of everything which really required a lot of skill and expertise to set up.

Nath has done an outstanding job of putting together a formidable specification that not only presents superb value to the customer but means that he will in fact have one of the best personal computer systems in the country.

No expense has been spared and strict requirements have been highlighted to make this system fit the customer’s requirements perfectly.

If you have a custom spec in mind or even fancy making changes to a system on our website, why not call our sales team?
Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be able to advise the best hardware for your requirements.

Before filling the loop, I realised that I got the inlet and outlet on the pump the wrong way round.
Facepalm situation, but easily rectified. :D

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask :)

Amazing build, another demonstration of Overclockers UK highly efficient PC system builders. Clean, smart & looks stunning.

One for me? :D
 
Remember RJ:

Windowed panel for £10 ;)

I'm sat here looking at my pc-p80. Why does this one look like it has so much more room in than my one? :(

Maybe it's cos I put my sr-1 on the floor of the case :D

You gotta put some Mayhem's Dye in there! Every single colour would look amazing.
 
no windowed panel because the customer didnt want one

no coloured fluid because the customer wanted clear

no cable ties on the tubing because i have never needed to use it on 1/2 barbs with 7/16 tubing.

ever

ever...

yea ok.

You may not have, But what if the said "customer" decided to have a small tug? or a child has a tug when the case side is off when he is installing a new hdd?

Dont think ahead do you? :confused:

i would estimate to have built over 500 watercooled builds and 20+ extreme builds like this.

i cant recall anyone calling the support line to tell me that they foolishly let their 5 year old loose near their £6k system with the panels off and coolant spilt everywhere.

people who buy systems tend to leave them alone.
I will be sure to post here and let you know if our tried and tested method suddenly fails :p

You do not need clips for 1/2 bard to 7/16 tubing, the fact that you need to heat the tubing up before hand and a knife to remove it shows clips are not needed.

I recently drained my system, I had used the heat and cool method to attach the tubes. But I was able to get the tubes off without cutting them. I had to use a LOT of force though.
