Not really a big fan of coils, but those are gonna look great along with the fans you've got, go great together.

Hope your 4890 still works alright too!!! could have been a real nasty break that!

i dont like em either only using them on that part of that loop to stop kinks.

im closly monitoring the 4890 a couple of taps gets the fan spinning ok :(

HD and dremmel blew up (the dremmel actualy blew :)), ordered a new HD and have RMAd the blown one so will have 2 1TB F1 in final build.

Looking good matey,

Im going to be doing a blog on custompc site, but wont be able to link due to adds they run. Looking very nice though, whats wrong with the anti kink coils i really like them, i went orange and black on mine and love it lol.

Like the stealthing of the dvd rom drive as well, may have to look into it, not some thing i have done in a long time lol. used to have my drives stealthed in an old huge p6 juno case lol big green ugly thing, all plastic panels with steel behind them. Blimey that was some time back.
 
will keep an eye out on CPC for your build, this is the first one ive done with a lil bit of modding im running the log on here and another site because between them i have gt all my components from them (the other site is making my custom panels!!)

looking nice iam just about so start my 1st watercooling atempt does the coil kinking thing actually work apart from look dead cool ? :cool:
 
Project *Sayso* update

well i have got rid of the 2 loops and im running everything through one loop.
Temps are better under load but the CPU is slightly higher idle, which seems a bit strange!!
have also fitted a fillport into the single res i now have, even though tbh it seems a bit redundant now !
will take some piccies when i have some better light :)
 
new piccies....insides are complete apart from a lil bit of cable tidying when my black Satas arrive.
outside still waiting for custom panels should be here sometime this week.
