    So am I actually. I'm temped to add some faint white LEDs just to light up the components though.

    Also, I almost forgot (continuing Cyan's trend):

    Looking good Marest, crossing my fingers that your new H80 is noise free!

    Decided that my previous pictures didn't really show off the cable management or cable extensions, also took a picture of behind the motherboard tray.

    Build log here.







    Hehe!

    Finally another person who has their Seasonic installed upside down. Quite pretty Noteworthy considered adding the GPU to the loop anytime soon?

    Nah, I don't think so, the temps are fine they way they are, I think more tubing in such a small case (small when considering what loops that size are normally installed in) would make it look cluttered, not to mention, I'd need to buy a new pump/res, as I doubt the one that comes with the RASA 750 is powerful enough.

    And yeah, it's "upside down", but I wanted the fan pointed down. :/

    Well I feel bad because you did all that work to accomplish basically what an H100 does >_<
    As for the PSU, I only say "upside down" because the big decorative X is on the other side and Deltrus came waddling along to giggle at my seasonic sticker ruining my looks (pfft). Our cases have a nice, filtered bottom intake specifically for the PSU so it would be silly to install it any other way XD

    Regarding the NZXT/Bitfenix/whatever sleeved extensions...I considered using those, but sadly the cables sprouting from the PSU still look mismatched and wierd. So it's either sleeve the whole thing or GTFO for me!

    Finally got my 4 fans ordered with my fan controller controlling all of them

    Including a fan controller built into the case

    I would recommend - cooler master sickleflow 120 mm fans they move so much air and are silent when they are controlled

    I used to love going to the beach during summer, until Greenpeace started trying to push me back in the water.

    Oh I know, that was fairly deliberate. I did a water cooling loop for the fun of it, basically.

    So..much..side ventilation...

    I agree with Sickleflows. Dirt-cheap, silent, push air, LED's that don't blind you, I run 3 of them in my case

    Pro Cable-Management... lol, but it looks good from the outside. My next system will be perfect also from the inside, sometime in the future.

    Gah! Can't breathe. D:
    Looks good from outside, but mother of god, that cable management... ._.

    I would normally now be putting up pictures of my new graphics card, but when I got down to the post office their computer system was out of order, and so they couldn't deliver me my graphics card... ._.

    EDIT: Got my card, yay!

    looks good, the sponge even kinda matches the gold CPU block

  17. #6957
    Not really. Not in real life. Additionally, I find its appearance is too... err, glaring? I hope to change a fair few bits of the loop later.

    You could spray paint it black and it'd probably look much better.

    What's up with the DCU II cooler by the way? I thought you had a 7970 water block already .

    'cause I wanted the Asus DCII. This is the 'Top' edition, so it comes stock @ 1GHz, as well as a sweet-as-hell backplate.
    Gonna try getting my waterblock sold on 'used' market.

    The heatpipes of DCII work well in a raven case then? I recall reading every here and there that if you were going to use Raven, you better go for reference (radial fan) style coolers since heatpipes can be designed to only work well at one angle.

    Doesn't turn up much when googling though. Or mby I'm lazy. Here's something on the 460, at least..
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.ph...&limitstart=15
    In the traditional (horizontal) position, the slightly angled heat-pipe rods use gravity and sintering to draw cooled liquid back down to the base. When positioned in a transverse mount case such as the SilverStone Raven-2, the ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP heatsink loses optimal effective properties in the two lower heat-pipe rods, because gravity takes keeps the cool liquid in the lowest portion of the rods within the finsink.
