my question is - how in god's name are you going to fit your video card in there behind the res? XD

That res is pretty much ideally sized to fit in the area between your cards and the side panel. I'm more concerned about the clearance to the pump TBH.

Looks good though; I gotta respect a fellow mATX waterclocker.

I was there helping him put this whole thing together. It was quite the tight fit if I can say so myself. Lol. Basically we can to remove the top CD bay by drilling out the rivets(That was fun) to get the radiator to fit with those 25mm thick fans on it otherwise he was gonna have to order 20mm thick ones.

We also had to drill 6 holes in the top under the top panel to screw the radiator up there and 2 into the separator panel to mount the pump. The hardest part had to of been the radiator cause we ran into trouble with the screw heads stick up to high for the top panel to go back on flush, so after a lot of talking and suggestions we came down to dremeling the bottom of the top panel where the screw heads were about an 1/8" so they could fit in there and it worked!

Fitting the rest of the parts in there were fairly easy though believe it or not and I don't know if anyone else has done water cooling in this case in just the top half. I would say it's a feat in itself but what do I know.

He should have pictures up tomorrow, I forgot to grab them before I left otherwise I would've posted some already for ya guys to look at. All he has left to do is wait for the leak test to finish, add some dye and UV lights and BOOM!

Updated pics of it finished

looks good bonz. the order of the loop slightly irks me but good nonetheless especially in an matx case.

If I can ask, how would you have orders the loops?
Looks good to me, figuring that having the water going from the processor right tot he radiator would disperse the most heat before it gets back to the pump.

You want the rad right before the CPU.
There will be a small amount of heat dump from the pump.

technically speaking, the water temp would be relatively constant so its not really a problem.. but most people would say res-pump-rad-cpu-res. i'm one of them.

Great build and loop bud, I love the color of the coolant as well! I enjoyed my mATX build way back, good job!
