Hey guys,.. system is ALMOST done..

I've hooked up the watercooling to the CPU and posted some pics of my very messy setup - I basically just wanted it to work, no way that case is closing...i'll fix that one on the weekend

I want to know the best way, or a link to the best way to get the GPU block on aswell. I have one ready to go. Do I just turn it all off and cut the tubes in half ? What's the best way to stop the water from all gushing out, etc (obviously outside and as far away from the pc as possible)

Can anyone post a quickguide, i'd assume remove cpu block, cut tubes, put new connectors on, rehook up tubes, etc?

anything else I might need to know?

damn I love this case....

I'll post some proper shots when it's done and a bit of a story on how it came together, there were a few obstacles, like bent motherboard pins!!!!!! thanks for whoever gave me the pacer tip, it worked a treat!!!

Thanks for the photos, and congrats!

But no dessert for you until you clean up that case.

I suggest just draining your system--disconnect tubes at the pump outlet and a low point, and let gravity do the work?

when i any playing with my setup and need to drain. i take out the hdd and any other easily get toable parts. then pull out res, i then onhook the hose comeing out of on the pump. make sure this pipe "blows" not "sucks", very important. do this over a bucket or something. with ALL parts unpluged except the pump i turn on system. have the res up at high as possible so to drain as much coolant into the "suck" hose as possible. put finger over hole in res that should be at the top if possable. hold the "blow" hose on bucket and wait tell no coolant comes out. turn off. i usally have like a million rags over overything so if anything get wet the rag gets it not the parts. i tryed to make my system so that i can take off the cpu block and pull both video cards out of case with res to make it much easier. after drained hook up "blow" hose. look for any empy of almost empty hoses as those should be you next target. remove carfully and dont get anything wet. if you do dry with rag and papertowels and let dry for atleast 72 hours to be safe. you can use a hair dryer to speed things up. just be carful is the main thing.

The cleanup will be coming this weekend, it seems somewhat a two person job Oh, and connecting all the other carp like earphones/mic on top of the case, and all those other little joys!!

Is there some kinda controller I can get for this? It would appear so.. from the several fan connectors at the front.... it would be cool, to be able to adjust the radiator fans etc..even tho im getting 24c cpu temps...which is like ridiculous......
