    I'm not sure if I'll add a GPU waterblock or not, I may, eventually, but there's no plan to as of right now. I may have a pinstriper paint those letters white though, so they match the color scheme. The only upgrade that I have in mind, as of right now, is adding another Vertex 3.
    That would be _epic_. Seriously. Do it! Or you could probably remove the sticker altogether

    Meh. You crossed the tubings.
    Also, minus points for ruining the arc with a window. :P

    Crossed and crossed. Any alternative route would've been worse off, and probably outright crossed.

    I tried to not cross them, but the tubing would kink every time I tried to use the inside barb on the radiator to the in barb on the CPU block.

    It's a loop with three sections of tubing. The not-crossed route is obvious and they only reason he went with the alternative was due to the cheap Rasa kit tubing having kinking problems.

    For future reference, PrimoFlex LRT 3/8" ID 5/8" OD makes that bend easily

    This seems like a really roundabout way of saying "PrimoFlex LRT would've been able to make the bend" -.-

    No, because there's multiples ways to make the that loop order work. Somebody already mentioned the 45-degree elbow fitting option. There's also the option of flipping the radiator around. I just found it funny becauseyou made it out to be impossible when the solutions are relatively simple. My preference is for a simple tubing change because elbows add flow restriction and you never know exactly when you might add a loop component and be forced into an even tighter bend.

    Still waiting for my 3570k to arrive (I'm still hoping IB will be worth it...), but here is a minor update on my build:
    - All components more or less mounted in place. As I said, still waiting for the CPU.
    - Cable management done. Spend around 50 cable ties (not kidding). I would not recommend the FT02 to an inexperienced builder unless they don't mind having a cable mess. I guess the sleeved cables do add to the bulky-ness, but still. Getting the 24-pin connector to not cause a huge bump in the side panel was pretty exhausting.

    The specifications are (or will be when it's done):
    - Silverstone FT02
    - i5 3570k cooled with an H80 in push-pull
    - ASRock Z77 Professional
    - 16GB Corsair Dominator GT (8-10GB as a RAMDisk)
    - ASUS Radeon 7970
    - ASUS Xonar DX
    - Samsung 830 128GB SSD
    - Corsair AX750

    Would love to hear the specs on that goe3n. I can already see the 2x Asus Matrix cards which look SICK (get a shorter SLI bridge that doesn't bend in the middle so much :P) but the rest of the specs?

    Has nice glow in it! (think those dual matrixes make it)

    I'm baffled though, where's the pc in the second image? That small box on the left certainly isn't the one above!

  19. #6699
    I thought the picture's temperature as well as the hole in the wall gave it away, but I'm pretty sure the computer's on the other side of the wall.

    I HAD to use that SLI bridge, the cards are 3 slot card and I had to leave a space in between for air flow, the normal dual SLI and tri SLI bride I have wouldnt reach.

    EVGA P67 FTW
    i7 2600k @ 4.5
    16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3
    2x 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Raid 0
    1TB WD Storage
    2x Matrix GTX580 Platinum @ 906Mhz SLI
    Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W
    Obsidian 650D
    Creative Circumaural Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Omega headset
    MS Sidewinder Keyboard
    Logitech G5 Laser mouse (soon to be naga if GW2 densest allow key binding changes)

    My PC is located behind the wall in my over size walk in closet,that small box is my 12" sub woofer for my surround system, all my wiring feed through the wall down below and hookup to the pc that is on a tv stand along with my stereo receiver, which is also my speaker system for my room/PC. This way any heat that is given off is in the closet, not my room. PS I have an AC vent in the closet so it does still stay cool.
