Man, those are some kick ass kits....I can't wait to get into mine. All thought my swiftech does do some pretty kick ass cooling... I just think the design on those are so much more advanced then the swiftechs.

Will probably replace the fans, although i dont deal with 120mm fans often these seem to have a...massive dead zone, but it should do me fine, mabey when i get that barton though...

The maze 4 just looks so cool, i just keep picking it up and looking at it lol.

Still need to decide exactly were im going to mount everthing, mainly figureing out were i can put stuff yet let the tubing have a bit of a gentle curve dont want to restrict the flow to much.

Mabey this will inspire me to sleeve the wires and such

Well I know how you feel, I felt the same way when I got all my stuff. I have one thing to say make sure you leak test it for awhile. Don't get to eager to put that bad boy in there. Have fun putting it together. Make sure you post pics and stuff when your done.

holes made in case, installing the block now.

Still need to mount the radiator on my shelf and make a listtel shelf behind my desk for the pump.

Leak testing more or less done, only 1 leak but it was a tiny one on the pump (about a drop ever 2-3 hours) 2 more notches on the hose clamps and its gone.

I think by tomarrow it should be up and running



Oh and my dad got a dremel without even telling me
so once it gets cooler outside i think i will take one of these spare cases and learn how to cut them up

Well here it is all done!
(well almost all done i gotta do something about the wires running up there, and probably get another blacklight)

1900xp+ at stock speeds im about 8 degrees above ambient (defualt voltage is 1.7 does this seem odd to anyone else?)

Had it running at 145 x 11.5 = 1667, temp went up 2 degrees.
(when i went to 145 x 12 to see if it could handle it it became unstable temps didnt increase though, but now it wont go to anything but that except stock speeds so ill have to mess with it later)

Over all im impressed with the ease that this went to gether and at how its going, i love the look,
think i need to get some quieter 120mm fans though as i have a frigger tornado next to me but oh well, the logitech z-650's more then out match the fans sound wise

and heres a pic

OMFG dude why the hell did you use so much hosing...did you use all of it??? You should only need 7 feet MAX. Your pump better be good otherwise you're in for a smoking chip. Jeez I can't imagine how much strain is on that pump and how much its killing your flowrate....

Tubing wont be THAT long but i got impatient and filled it before mounting everything, its a 320 gph pump, it makes it throught hte system and still launches water from one side of the res to the other with a good amount of force.

Here's a little graph to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. At 6 and 1/2 feet you aren't pumping much of anything anymore, and from the picture, ,you aren't far off. I would really rethink that whole setup.
