No, not for the win.

ForTress Watercooled!

Anyway, hi guys. Just ordered the first three things for my project:

Asus Maximus 4 Gene-Z
Coolermaster 650w modular PSU

And, the most important part of this build:

Silverstone FT-03 Black.

Already decided on how the case will be set up :) for now I will have the rad and pump external to the case, until I can get hold of a dremel anyway, and will soon be getting a DDC with a tube res. Will hopefully be doing more dremel work to the case - fitting the 240mm rad, fitting a possible 200mm rad, custom side window and name.

Existing parts - i5 2500k
GTX 580 with EK full cover block
XSPC Rasa CPU block
XSPC RS240 rad
Samsung F3 1TB
2TB HDD
Crucial C300
XSPC 750 pump/res.

Well, this should be fun :)
 
On the 580 block, yes :)

Can't believe how cheap the gene-z is for what you get. You couldn't get an mATX motherboard and a 7.1 card for the same price!

Forgot to mention, will be getting the side panel cut, putting a window and getting White LEDs. Black, red and White should be fun :)

You'll need to get a slot loading DVD drive (if you haven't already realised this)....

I also have no idea how you're going to fit more than a single rad in that... Single wouldn't be that hard.... Unless you mount the dual externally, although personally haven't ever really liked external rads...

I'll remove the bottom 120, as soon as I have a dremel.

Can't wait :)
 
Well, all my stuff has arrived! All fitted apart from the rad and pump/res, just walked to Eltham to buy a dremel to rectify that ;)

No pictures yet, as I have to get to a pc to upload them, but dear god. Motherboard and case look fantastic! Cable management was incredibly easy - everything looks so neat with the watercooling installed :)

Just about to measure, mark and cut out the rad placement, then rig up a res placement, repipe up and then leak test and play! My mate has an insane projector I can test it out on, I'll try and get pics uploaded tonight :)
 
Pictures! Just to tease, not finished yet ;)
