Well, i can answer that, Those block of wires you see are unused psu wires so far, since i have no optical drives yet or hard drives, so theres no point stuffing them behind yet,
Those 2 black wires are the temp gauges on the watercooling, and i cant just make them dissapear :o
I guess i can run them next to the pipes?,

Other then that everything is behind the back place and hidden from view, i probabally took the worst photo of it to be honest

And not to mention this is my first build ever lol, never even dreamed of building a computer until exactly one week ago, so for my first build not bad i dont think :o

Someone else from Woking i see :)

Going water is pretty impressive for your first build. One thing though, wouldn't it be better to have the rad fans facing the other way so they exhaust the air? Or do you have the front fans blowing out....

woking power :)

hmm, i have the fans blowing air into the radiator :/ should i swap them the other way around then do you think?

i just put my 2 stock case fans where they had there 2 fans on the radiator (there leads wouldn't reach into the case), then put theyre fans into my case, but i guess coolermaster did that because its supposed to be an internal radiator?

Finally finished my second watercooled HTPC. :)

Just waiting for my Xonar HDAV to come back from RMA to fill that empty slot.

I've done the mod to the Apogee drive to make it 18W but it's now the noisiest thing in the system! I think I'll make a foam jacket for it to quieten it down.

Nice. Why is the tubing from the rad and the gpu block split in two?

Thanks. :)

I had those pieces of tubing kicking around and were the exact length. I don't want to cut any fresh pieces until I'm happy with the loop as that norprene tubing is quite expensive. I'm considering changing it so that the 120.1 is before the cpu rather than after it.

Cheers. I'm really pleased with it. I hope my Xonar HDAV comes home soon.

It would be silent if I hadn't done the 18w mod to the pump! :rolleyes: I think it was worth it though cos the temps are good. I'll make a little foam jacket for it and see if that quietens it down.

Bump with a few updates of mine also:

I need to mount my radiator the same way but i'm not how Sipha has done it!

When I fix my radiator to the case the screws are only long enough to just reach the radiator with the fan up against the case. Can anybody help me figure out what Sipha has used to mount the radiator and fan so that he has a gap in between the fan and the case?

Cheers to anybody that can point me in the right direction!
 
Thanks :)

I know, the fans when off look fine (smoked plastic) but when on the white LED's are really bright - brighter than i thought

Can't really find a decent orange 92mm fan though..
