Time for a new build, this is going to be my third water cooled pc. The build is going to be a slow work in progress, i plan to take my time with it.

First off, the case is a MountainMods Pinnacle 24, have to give a shout out to Piggin who not only sold me the case, but totally stripped it down, had it powder coated white, and put it all together with new screws/rivets etc.

Specs i have planned are -

i7 920 (got)
Gigabyte UD5 (got)
6 gig Patriot dd3 1600MHz (got)
Corsair 850W Modular PSU (got)
2 x 5870 (need, hopefully coming end of this month)
Haven't decided on storage yet but im thinking a 240gig SSD and a 1TB HD.

Cooling -

Planning on doing two loops, cpu + mobo and the two 5870's.

Will be using 2 x ddc 18w pumps, one XSPC pump res and a bay res (i know, its personal taste!), a PA120.4 for the cpu and mobo and a Black Ice stealth GT360 for the GPU's.

I will be fully braiding the PSU and all cables, not looking forward to this part, i want to go for a blue colour scheme so will be using a blue and white braid and shed loads of Xigmatek blue line fans.

Onto some pics -

Just to give you an idea of the size look what it does to my UD5 -

Will make sure to keep the thread updated with lots of pictures.

Thanks for the shout out Andy.
Love the name & the case looks the part in its new surroundings.
Good luck with the build, I will be watching it with great anticipation.
 
Not that I don't like the white case, I do, but how come you're changing over?

Plus what's happening to the LL?


Ive always fancied a Pinnacle 24 and you don't see too many around so when one came up i just had to have it :)

Will probably keep the 343b as a test case, im using different parts for this build, will probably sell a few parts when im done.

I don't think that that hard drive cage comes with MM case. I'm thinking about getting that case myself, but I'm put off by having to use one of the fan holes for hard drives. That hdd cage would certainly solve that problem. Care to say where you got it from and how you mounted it? Or did it, in fact, come with the case?
 
LoL, that UD5 looks like a mATX board inside that case!!!!

I thought my TJ07 and TJ10 were large until I saw this.

I really like the look of it though, can't wait to see some more pics of your progress.
