Let's see some pics
This is the Aquastream Ultimate before bing mounted into the case. I covered the mounting area with masking tape and marked the drill points. I also put masking tape double sided around the area and below to catch the metal that was going to fly everywhere. I then used more tape to clean up any access.
Here you can see the pump mounted to the case. You can also see the AQ 6 mounted next to it. I took an old plastic bay cover and drilled holes in it for mounting and then painted it black to match. I Then simply velcroed it to the case.
Here you can see the AQ6 from above, some of the fan cables are already connected.
Here is a pic of the first pressure test of the entire case cooling system, about 40% of the system is complete. There will be 3 more tubing runs to do from the pump to the gpu, the gpu to the cpu and the cpu to the 280 rad.
