lol no worries

Not sure about the 600T/650D differences I just thought you were buying a new case and was interested why the 600T

the 650d was released a few weeks or month after the 600t and if i had of known , would have gone with the 650d as i like the 800d but was too big and too expensive at the time.......

just a quick update......recieved a few things, but still missing the rads....so still cant do a lot without the rads......

stueng · 27 Jan 2012 at 16:14

can you take a photo of some of that liquid please... even just a drop? I might want some depending on how yellow it is... sunset yellow sounds quite orange though? sunset.... orange... init

terminator2k2 · 27 Jan 2012 at 22:22

well here we go......my first ever attempt at water cooling.......i enjoyed every minute of it minus searching for screws and bolts for the rads and fans........here come the pics......and stueng......its as yellow as my viper fans........gonna call this viper yellow........and i think its stunning........

looking nice, the orange hint on the ud7 sure is nicer than the blue on the ud5

thanks....not bad for a first time attempt......but my thumb is throbbing from the compression fittings lol......ive hid the ssd on the rear of the mother board panel, and got to find some where for the 1 terrabyte drive...dont like it stuck it in the 5 1/4 bay.........and putting the 2 gpus in was just a nightmare.......couldnt see the slots......
