Kurisu Makise · 18 Apr 2010 at 18:57

how are you getting the bitspower blocks? im looking everywhere but only showing up on us sites :confused:

Bicepo · 19 Apr 2010 at 08:15

That is correct, I imported them and it cost me an arm and a leg, Building my pc is now very hard!

All those nice BP fittings and then you go and use El Cheapo nasty Masterclear tubing why oh why.

sorry what? masterkleer is the best 7/16 tubing
it has the best bend radius

i fail to understand why you think its a bad choice?

I love reading these build projects.

One day I'll do one, just need to convince the wife how much better our lifes will be with a nice water cooled PC

Just out of interest, how long did it take you to plan what you intened to do with the build and then source the various components?

Bloomin ages I bet! In the process now and looking at similiar build. Bet the ocuk staff can do it quick mind, at least that's what I'm hoping when order time comes!

Lovely work, keep the updates coming

Well for me it has taken ages due to the fact I constantly change my mind this project has been about 12months in the making but this is due to the fact I have changed my mind on what case to use 3 times, which blocks I am going to use, I was originally going to have quad sli with 295's but got rid of that And got Crossfire 5870's ETC ETC ETC.

Looking nice!

I have to agree with the choice of Masterkleer 7/16ths.... it what I used on my old Ice Dragon project and the tubing was ace to work with.

It definitly helped make my custom loop experience easier :cool:

it is a burden i have to suffer. whilst constantly offering the best advice, Chris changes his mind like David Bechhams hairstlyes, this is never a good thing when it comes to computer hardware

somehow this system avoided being trapped inside a Thermaltake Level 10

if OcUK had them in stock at the time, the system would be in that and not a TJ07.

we have Ace Modder and Fatboy to thank for avoiding this nasty situation.

I'm really interested with what you've done with the motherboard tray, got any info and or more pictures of it?

elmuzzy66. · 22 Apr 2010 at 04:56

Very nice build. Those bits power blocks just made me wee. OCUK realy need to bring them in.

Amakuma · 22 Apr 2010 at 08:08

looking forwards to seeing the finished build

Bicepo · 22 Apr 2010 at 13:05

Ok as promised here is an image of the MOBO with blocks and pipework, sorry for the low quality image I will post some better quality ones shortly

Enjoy
