You use an armor your self....
I love the look style and space of the case, as well as the 25cm fan upgrade, it is the case I'm sticking with. And due to the rising costs I'm thinking of droppong one of the GPUs, I had heard about the SLi being fairly unbenificial, so i wanted one card OC'd on water, but then i figured out with the help of this forum that I might as well get two for the price i wanted to pay for the BFG 800GTX watercooled edition Vs. 2x evga 8800 GTXs but thankyou for the advice.

ALSO... thought, buy the TT kandalf LCS, then the DD D5-and TDX combo, to replace the pump and cpu water block, wondering If I'd be able to use the supplied TT waterblock to then cool one of my bridges, and pick up a maze4 for the other. Also would it be really beneficial to replace the rad with a blackIce GTX360?

Spend $3000 on this computer.
Then mid-next year.
Spend $2000 in upgrades.

You'll get a much better computer that way.

Don't bother cooling the northbridge and southbridge - a good chipset cooler will do just as well for you and won't add heat and length to your watercooling setup

I use an Armor purely because I can't afford a PC75G...way over my head in terms of budget. Infact, I got this one cheap otherwise I wouldn't have got it.

These cases are good right, but nothing to write home about. I'm ditching mine for a Raidmax Ninja 918.

my rig is what you want.

the argument about OCzs and Gskills and Team xtreme and which is better. you can only go by the ICs that are there, brand has nothing to do with it. better to buy these 2nd hand and known good clockers than to risk brand new and get duds.

The Armor/Kandalf LCS is kinda a gimic.

You can just secure a rad in the front using Zip ties.

Like so: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2916/hpim0661pi7.jpg (large pic!)

Pic is of Martinlarsen's rig. He has an Armor LCS, but upgraded all the parts

mmmmmm
@ noxious, I Like... I guess that he hides it behind the covers though, so I'm going to change up the build again.... w00t! Thank you very much.

@NrGX Yeah, I really don't need 2....thanks... I've been trying 2 decide recently

EDIT: Did an overhaul on the case and cooling system, need some reviews on the DD water cooling set up, and I can dilute the MCT-5 into distilled water right? and anyone know a good southbridge cooler that will still allow me room for SLi, if i ever need it. OR Could i simply throw my N and S bridge on the water loop...it shud be good enuf 4 that...

IMO your best bet is to get 2 good chipset coolers and leave them ou of the loop . . they'll hurt it more then they'll help it
