Project 110% - Watercooled Coolermaster 110 - Lots of Pics

'lo all

I've had this case, a Coolermaster 110, for about 3 years now. I bought it for £235 just after Coolermaster announced they are stopping making the ATCs range as I decided I just had to have one while I could.

The first few of these pictures were taken just after I bought the case as I have had water cooling fitted in cases before this one, and I did post up a small thread at the time. I've just had a major hardware upgrade, gone Intel for the first time ever after using AMD parts for years, and thought it was worth showing some picture of how this case looks now.

Current spec is:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Asus P5W64 WS Pro
Team Xtreem 2Gb 3,3,3,8
Connect 3D X1900 XTX 512mb
WD Raptor 74gb x2 in Raid 0
Pioneer 109 DVD/rw Alu x2
Soundblaster Audigy X-Fi Music
OCZ Modstream 520w

Cathar Storm G4
Swiftech MCP600
JPS Scoop Shroud
Standard 120.2 Heatercore
Tygon 1/2"
DangerDen Fill Port

I'm sure some people will cringe on seeing a CM110 with parts cut out, but this was the first thing I did basically.

The shroud was imported from the US from a company called JPS Performance who have since stopped making parts. It's a full aluminium housing holding 2x 120mm fans.

I needed all of the lower 3 1/4 bay removed to fit the rad and shroud.

I had measuered it all but was still suprised at how tight a fit it was.

I ended up putting in a cross bar and used eyelet bolts to hold it all together from the shroud.

Thats the old pics done from when I first had the case. The rad and shroud are the only parts which have stayed the same with the case from that time. The rest of the pics now show the current hardware and water cooling I have just installed. Also the given night shots...

Sweet work. Just this morning I was thinking if it is possible to get a radiator in my ATC200, think that's about the same size! Wouldn't want to be chopping mine though.

Looks a tight fit though, that 120.2 looks pretty damn small in there really :/

Weird place to insert a t-line :/

Yeah, the T-Line should ideally sit just before the pump inlet. This will reduce the chance of the pump running dry when filling the loop. But if your setup works for you, then fair enough. Good work.

Yeah, as messiah khan said. However your t-line has one advantage, it is the highest part of your loop where air will travel to. Making it easier to bleed.

Thanks everyone!

Just tidied up the last few cables, took some more pics...

The E6600 is now at 3.6Ghz, 400x 9 and running at just under 30 Deg c idle, and not rising above 34 Deg C in games!

Wow, looks stunning m8, great job there. Congrats :cool:

The plastic clip clamps you used, what tube size are they for?

I bought some but were too small for the 7/16 I use
