How are you planning to watercool it? *curious*
I'm just gonna ramble here for a second now, and say that I'm considering dremeling a third fan slot in the top and get to work arranging so a 360 rad can be mounted in my old Level 10 GT. I'm not planning to use it for my own computer, but I might be inclined to do something else entirely with it.

Totally agree with this, he really went far when he did the Fractal Design Define R3 vs NZXT H2 video because everyone was like omg the H2 is so good, even after his first review, so in that versus video he really went the extra mile and showed up NZXT and it became apparent really how good Fractal's chassis is, the H2 is not special. lol

There is now a computer chat thread, and we will enforce harsher rules here.
Consider this a warning.
More gaming builds, less off-topic!
Off-topic discussions goes here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...um-chat-thread

is that to mean that anything other then posted gaming builds is not allowed?
perhaps some clarification is needed on what is expected from the moderators in this thread, this thread is in fact meant for posting gaming setups and discussing said setups, how much discussion is allowed before infractions get handed out? What is so wrong about the OT discussions within this thread? as most are sparked by posted setups, so how far away from topic is a discussion allowed to get before it is deemed OT and needs to be moved elsewhere?
It is of course allowed to critique and offer opinions on them.
Posting about your upcoming plans is fine.
Posting friends' builds are fine. Possibly even the one odd non-gaming computer, or retro one.
Posting about cable management and general improving on ones gaming builds' esthetics is fine.
Going off-topic enough to post videos on comparing two cases that were not at all brought up on-topic is too far off-topic.
Where to draw the line on where too much back-and-forth regarding nit-picking details or answering about suggestions on doing water cooling, I don't think I'm able to offer a definition of, before I sleep on it. (Being awake for 40 hours really does me no favours as far as coherent thinking or English is concerned)
Thank you for asking for the clarification though!
If others have suggestions and such and whatnot, we always listen. But as always, the proper venue is recommended.
In this case, the Computer forum Chat thread.
Quite coincidental that you mention retro builds! I was tearing down an old PC from work and decided to take some pics, here's the album: http://imgur.com/a/l2fGu
Can we ask a person to take more pictures/take pictures of a specific part of is that too offtopic?
