after a recommendation from someone on another forum, I decided to use my dad's d3100 with my lens and a white screen for some light, the pics above were taken in this way :) here is a test shot:

And here is the fitting that will act as my drain port and as an extension to allow me to use a 45 degree fitting (the extension fitting is just there so I don't loose it :p):

looking sharp bud! I think i am going to give watercooling a go soon, when i have some spare cash i am first going ot get some bitfenix white extensions (lush!) then a ocuk v8 watercooling kit, or the xspx one not sure yet. Any advice/ideas you could throw a brother? I need a theme really any advice would be guuuuuuuuuuuuurd. What it looks like currently: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18316477 but has since been cable tidied and tarted up a bit.
