Mine

Watercooled Antec 900

That would look great if you do a full window mod.

Good job.

Nice work Helios 1234, But there's something about the fans that's not quite right.

Is it just me, or does the pink plastic used look exactly like the stuff they use to make prosthetic limbs????

Finaly got around to water cooling the 4870x2 i also decided to change the coolant colour too.

Lol I never really thought about that, I like the colour personally

I prefer the green tubes

Nice work

Blue looks good, but doesn't seem to be picking up the UV as well as the green.

Awsome case mrluke, bit of work to do on the cabling though. Also, is the CPU cooler (zalman I think) meant to be mounted so that the fan blows out through the rear?

Agreed on the Noctua puppy sick color.

only reason I ask is cos I had hells own job mounting mine, that was until I read the instructions (real men don't read instructions). I was trying to mount it in the right orientation, i.e. with the flow of air going over it and out the rear case fan, but could just not get it to fit. I tried it your way round and thought "voila" job done, but somehow knew it wasn't right. Turns out I had it correct orientation the first time, but needed turning 180 degrees so as to fit, otherwise the securing brace would not close down.

If you look just bellow my fan , theres a motherboard fan cooling a chip.. This some how stops me clipping it the other way IRC..

No worries Mate as long as it does the job.

Finally got round to bungeeing my HDDs:

Not the neatest job, but when the side's on you don't see it. And most importantly, the case resonating is completely gone.

What are the benefits of bungeeing then? I've always wondered this

They create vibration through the chassis when they are secured to it in the usual fashion, thus causing a resonating noise when they are being accessed. The bungees take out the vibration energy aiding the computer to be much quieter.

Ah that makes sense then. I'm guessing you can only do this in certain cases where there is a free space (like the one above).
