Yeah, just a pity about that block effect. I have done a gloss laminated one I can send you if you like. Obviously it's pretty reflective, but otherwise looks great.

Let me know if you want it.

The wife has told me my 800 has just arrived. Hope to spend some time transferring over my kit this evening from the spec in the sig

But replacing the 4870X2 with a 5970 and adding a H50 for cooling.

Also hope to get hold of an i7 CPU, M/B and Ram in the near future.

Will post a couple of pics when it's under way. I'll include a couple of photos of my Antec 900 as well for comparrison.

Now that I've finally finished it, here are some pics of my first watercooling project (pretty much copied and pasted from the thread I made in the DC forum :o :p). It's taken me a while to get it how I want it but now I'm reasonably happy with it. It might not be as pretty as some other rigs but I'm pleased I've managed to get it up and running without destroying anything :p

Side on:

Nice work Stan,

I think ill go with a white light rather than the UV's ive got.
I have got some night shots but photography isnt really my strong point and they let it down a bit .

BTW did you braid the 24 pin yourself or buy it ?

Some nice builds guys, particularly the watercooled cases, im heading in his direction myself soon, case is a lian li a70f, but its nice to see a few watercooled setups, gives me a bit of guidance.:)

No I think it looks amazing! The only thing I would say though is I don't really like the coolant colour... Seems to wreck the "look" imo. Need a more "solid" colour, or maybe even a clear colour like water?

I agree. I used Thermochill EC6 fluid along with a 'blood red' dye and it didn't turn out anywhere near as red as I wanted - more orangey. I may get some solid red tubing to replace it to complete the look.

Thanks for the nice comments people, I know it's far from perfect but it's nice to know people like it :)
 
Beautiful case the 800d for cable tidying, corsair really hit the mark with this one, sadly i couldnt afford one, had to settle for a lian li a70f, bit cheaper but makes watercooling a wee bit harder.
 
Pity lian li didnt follow suit, this is my A70F.

Bit tricky to hide things in, im gonna watercool my current i7 rig, p6t deluxe v2, i7 920 DO and 6gb ocz reaper c7, gotta send the top panel of the case away to get cut to fit a triple rad, thinking swiftech/laing D5 pump with ek rev2 top, thermochill pa 120.3 and heatkiller cpu block, tubing will be 7/16 on 1/2 inch bitspower silver diamond barbs, just gotta decide on what res to go with.
