So I already built this once, thought everything was grand, and of course being the moron I am, forgot to completely tighten one of the barbs on my gpu block.
Didnt get a complete death leak, but just a small drip drip one, so after doing some every few night maintenance I noticed this.
Nice little pool right on top of the PSU, amazingly did not spill over and stayed right on the top of it.

So I drained the whole thing at 2 in the morning and re-tightened the barb.
When I originally put the whole thing together, I had just losely put on the barbs for the GPU block, tight enough for it not to show up for a couple days, but loose enough to have a little drip. I had tighten one after seeing it was too loose, and thought the other one was fine... not the case.

All fixed up now and took some better pics of the entire system as I test it.

(BTW the coolant is non-conductive, so I dont think I had too much too worry about in the first place)

Nice work, how's the temps on that CPU and GPU? Looks like a little bit of cable management is in order...

Definitely clean the wires- maybe consider a modular Power Supply

menace066

yeah, there only so messy because of having to take things out and put it all back together. Its a Cosmos it was made to hide wires, check out maximum PCs pics of it a few months back.

Im just testing it as of now too make sure theres nothing else wrong.

Once I put it back together (trust me they looked fine before) the wires wont look so restricting.

BTW temps were about 30 C idle on the cpu (x2 6000+) overclocked to 3.27 ghz.
And about 37 C idle on the gpu (8800 gtx) overclocked to 661 core and 2100 memory.

Exidous

That rad is huge compared to my pair lol.

A Cosmos has so much potential to look really nice. :-)

I found my biggest obstacle was finding a place for the huge ass pump. If I had any more hardrives I'd be screwed!!
