Before I get flamed.. yes I will finish Project Android. But that is my server, this is my main rig. 
Right, my current rig is a modest spec, but it does its job fairly well. Ive been planning on upgrading to a Conroe/Kentsfield rig, but for the moment my A64 will have to do. The whole rig is built inside an Antec p180 which I loved when I first got it, but its slowly been annoying me. Its over engineered and fiddly to work with. So to replace it I got a Lian Li v2000;
For quite some time, ive wanted to fiddle with water and phase cooling. Initially I thought that my next rig would be water, then eventually I would move on to phase. But then I got thinking; Why do one at a time? Why not dive in at the deep end and build a computer with water AND phase cooling? I knew I could easily fit water cooling in a V2000, but what about the Phase cooling? I didn't like the ideo of a seperate box with it all in. So I did a bit of research and found that a custom unit could be built in the lower chamber of the v2000. So I asked Gray Mole if he would do me the honour of "make it cold and make it pretty".
But since I was going to get a custom phase unit built, I also wanted it to be something special. So I carefully chose parts to give it that extra bit of 'bling'.
As you might be able to see in that pic, there is a clear enclosure courtesy of Aitor and Silencer. This fill form the centerpiece of the whole rig. The unit also includes a NL11F compressor, a vapochill style backplate with heater, EL wire down the suction line and other smaller details.

Looks awesome mate, i hope everything goes to plan! oh yeah and project android also looks sweet keep up the good work 
So I need to trim about 1/2" off the top for the thing to fit in the case.
