h2o Cooled NZXT Tempest...
i finaly took the plunge... and went to water cooling...
SOOOOO much fun. Got the Swiftech h20-220 Apex GT Put it in my case... heres a few shots, and here is the link to the rest: H20 Rig     The front isnt done yet. Im taking the mesh screens and cutting them to fit around the sides and form over the top of the radiator, to close it all off and make it look "stock" If you look on the first pic, you'll notice blue around the raditor. I decided to take the whole case apart piece by piece and paint it with a blue metalic. It looks pretty sharp. I also ditched the green crap that came with the kit, and bought some UV blue coolant, and will soon be replacing the blue cathode with a UV one, and im going to get a blue gelpen and do some decorating and tracing on the board. So what do you guys think?

Looks great. Over the CPU block, are those kinks in the pipes?

You could have mounted the rad at the top (the case was designed to allow a rad to be mounted there.)

I thought that with the Tempest, the rad gets mounted at the top of the case, by the 140mm fans...
And you could use a little bit of cable management.

I plan on putting the second radiator on the top... :-) I was going for more of a unique set-up with this thats why i chose the front.
No, those arent kinks, its just a bad angle. As far as cable mgmt goes, i did this in the middle of the night so its not too bad considering.

Emersonsc, nicely done

Looking better than my system (same case), which is a mess, currently i am switching all the LEDs to green (because my other system is blue lit).
__________________Your look is quite nicely done. (i would be ashamed to post pics of my system on this forum)
