Right I now have most parts, bar the cpu and watercooling. Once i've got all components in, i'll take a screeny, then shove the water in and screenie that.

Oh and screenie the mod of the case cover.

Well, it's about time I updated you lot on my progress.

Finally got round to installing the watercooling today! Here's some pics for you, and feel free to say what you think!

Ok so here is the system un-filled, with no compoenents attached so eventualy it can be leak tested.






This is the system now filled with some lurverly green UV water!




And finally, with everything in place:

You need to put more water in that res, or there is a risk of air getting into the loop with all the turbulence in the res. Otherwise it looks good.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks, yeah I wondered about the water level in the res, but the fill port is set so the water line can only be so high.

Yeah I will add some more mix when it's off next time.

Thanks for the comments!
