I've never weighed it but I'd guess 45-50 lbs.

Impressive rig. Cant wait to get my hands on a hafx.
Please add some pics with the power and led fans on.
And maybe some temps in your new w/c setup.

One question though as I'm new to water cooling but trying to build one myself, why the need for both 360 and 120 rads?
Isn't the 360 alone enough for the cpu and 5970?

The 360 alone might be enough. This is my first rig and I asked around for some advice and this is what people suggested. Temps are great, 65C max in prime95 at 4.0, GPU never really gets above the 40s. Nice quiet GT AP 15's on the rads and all has been good so far.

My only issue with the HAF X is the stupid Fan grill that takes up half the window. I just got a dremel today and am doing a full window mod once my acrylic sheet arrives. I will post pics when it is complete probably sometime next week.

Also, here are some more recent pics.

40C for the 5970 @900/1200 is sweet. (what is your volt setting on the ati?)
Do post pics when the mod is done, some of the process too, not only the end result as I am unfamiliar with the dremel.

btw, the front would also look cool without the xspc logo on the tank when the cathodes are on.

Will do, btw, half of that tank holds the pump. The xspc faceplate covers that up.

Voltage is 1.2

nice setup man, few questions. did you lose all your pci e slots due to that radiator on the back or can you wiggle something in? oh and also, this may be stupid but im not sure. should the fans be blowing air in or out when mounted on the radiator? one more thing, did you remove the stock 200 mm fan from up top. thanks for the help. im setting up my haf x as well.

I think the pci e slots are okay, I can check again when I get home. You could always put the rad outside too. I have the fans blowing out in a pull configuration. I removed the 200 mm fan on top and put 3 120 mm gt ap 15s on my rad.

I love you, ive been wondering about that rad and 120mm fans fitting. Is your 8 pin not long enough to go behind the board?

It is now behind the board. I need to post some newer pics. I have cleaned up my cables a bit. I'm also working on a window mod. Check it out under build logs.
