Default [Project] G_F's first case mod and watercooling case

WEll I have finally done it

My first case mod and watercooling system

intel core 2 duo 3.00Ghz @ 3.4Ghz
2 seagate baracudda 250 GB
Enermax infinity 720W PSU
XFX Gforce 8800 GT 512 Video x2
XFX nForce 680i LT mainboard
Patriot 4 GB PC2-6400- Eased Latency kit ( 2*2GB)
Antec 900 case
LG DVD RAM (SATA)
Windows XP Pro x64
Danger Den Custom watercooling.

Before




Ordered with a friend who is active here as well (Baditude) the custom cooling kit from Danger Den;

CPU Style: Intel 775 / Conroe
CPU Water Block: Danger Den MC-TDX
Top Style: Lucite - Clear
Chipset Block: MPC 680i Chipset Block
Fitting Size: 1/2 OD Fat Boy Fitting for 1/2 ID Tubing
Radiator: Black Ice Xtreme II - Black
Pumps: DD 12V D5 1/2 OD Fittings "Variable Speed"
Tubing: 10 Feet of Tygon
Water Additives: MCT-40 Non-Conductive Fluid
DD Fillport: Blue Anodized Fillport and Fillport Reservoir

First before I could build this toy in, well I had to make some holes in my case
(special thanks to Run N. Gun, His pictures has helped me a lot)



Because of the big F*** rad, I had I had to move the hard drives to the top.

The rad


Front of the PC with the rad, HDD's and DVD



Then came the fun part;
putting the cooling blocks on the mobo


This is what it looked like after assembling the computer


And finally with the coolant in the system


Now it is trying to fit the cables on the closed side to fit under the cover, Which is going to be painful.

Total worktime about 6 hours.

Please post comments, remarks, what could have done better

Why did you remove the rear exhaust fan?
There's still lots of room..and it's probably going to affect your video card temps.

you're going to want a fan down near the bottom for your GFX cards. They get toasty.
Maybe put one in between the two cards? or one between and one underneath
