List of Build Log Entries:
None Introduction: With my CPU being a 3 year old Dual Core AMD, I feel it is time to upgrade from my last build. I have been debating whether to go with Phenom II (AM3) or i7 for this round. After much deliberation, I finally decided that I want to go with Intel and run the Core i7 920. It will last me for at least a year or so and it will be much easier on my wallet. As for Theme I've decided to go with Black and Red with the CM HAF932. I am WCing this. Preliminary Build Design: Below are the preliminary specs for my build. Chassis: Coolermaster HAF932 (Don't Have) Motherboard: Foxconn Bloodrage (Don't Have) CPU: Intel Core i7 920 (Don't Have) RAM: Patriot 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1333 (Don't Have) GPU: 55nm XFX GTX 260 Core 216 (Don't Have) HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB Sata (Have) HDD (Secondary): None (Possibly a WD Raptor depending on how money works out) PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750 Watt (Don't Have) CPU Cooler: Heatkiller i7 (Don't Have) Moniter: Flatscreen Acer X223W 22" (From my Old PC) GPU Cooling: Tell me a good full cover water block for the gtx 260 Rad: XSPC RX240 Dual 120mm being cooled with yate loons (Don't have) Res: Danger Den RADical Res (Don't Have) Tubing: PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 7/16"ID (Have) Pump: Danger Den CPX Pro 12v (Don't Have) The final look of this build should provide an aura of mystery, danger and quick strike when looking at the rig on the inside. Cables disappearing and reappearing, components melding into the background, and also making the build look "dangerous" and ready to kill. Also a good WC full coverage block for the GTX 260 is needed Also tell me the absolute easiest, and safest way to leak test my WC loop So I guess this is where the intro page ends. Feel free to comment, make suggestions, etc. on my components, my ideas, or whatever. I can always use more ideas, too!

looks good.
umm to test it and the safest way i think is outside. just to get the loop going. get all the air out and refill repeat till your resevoir is full. resovior always on the side of your case and pump is on the bottom next to your PSU. dont know much about w/c but its all i can help you for now. post in W/C section :] great build btw and going i7!

If I were you I would test the loop in the empty HAF so that you know that when you put in the rad you didn't puncture it
