Nice pics....hopefully I'm goin the same route as you. I joined to figure out what this "overclocking" thing I'd heard about was, and now I've picked up more knowledge off here than i have in the past 3 years of school, and I'm savin up for my new rig

Coolguy, how come you got rid of the X-Aspire case? Just wondering because I'm lookin at gettin one for my new rig.

cuz i had too many holes! well - i had to cut a huge rectangle out the back side (other side panel) to fit a dual heatercore...and that hole had no place in my clean rig concept....

Yeah, I think the only ones that come close are PCnerd and SPHERE, hard to keep up with those guys too.
I really like your rigs, they all got a nice clean touch to them. Definately 2 thumbs up
So when are you going AMD? ...or are these changes mostly cosmetic?

Those are pretty nice. When my temps are as good as they are i dont see a need to go W/C. besides, if I do anything to that extremem it will be in a mini fridge mobo submerged in fluid xp. That is condensation proofing right there. Anyways, once again, nice job on the mods.

Well if you think that's close then I'm on my 2nd CPU, 4th 6800 GT, 4th HDD, 2nd CPU waterblock, gone through 8 sticks of RAM, 2nd monitor, 2nd sound card, and that's just the last 6 months with this "recent" rig. Not to mention the crap I went through on my XP rig or the family rig. But yeah there's still plenty of guys that got me beat.
