"Skynet": Water Cooled HAF X (840mm radiator, 990X, Tri-SLI EVGA 580 Hydro Coppers)
Got all the new hardware installed
Swapped out the RX240 for an RX360
Clearance shot
New tube routing
990X now rests beneath the cpu block
Grabbed another 580 Hydro Copper
Managed to get my hands on one of the $47.99 (normally $180) X-Fi Titanium HD's from the Best Buy sale
Better shot of the HAF 932 Black Edition side panel
Vote for my HAF X for HAF of the month! http://www.overclock.net/computer-cases/1130235-september-haf-club-case-hall-fame.html
Finally, got my first water cooled rig up and running after about a month of piecing together everything. I had a really good time putting her together and modding the case, which was also a first for me, at least this extensive of a mod anyways. I really took my time in finding exactly what parts I wanted to use as well as researching why I should or shouldn't go with one part or another.
Very happy with how she finally came together, both in appearance and performance (haven't managed to break 40c in furmark, yet..)
I was able to get my hands on a Limited Edition Performance-PCs.com EK full cover block in full "blood red plexi", which I found to be extremely rare. I haven't even been able to find a single photo of it online
So I decide to make it the focal point of the build and kept everything else black to further highlight that.
I wish I would have started a build log, initially. I do have photos from most of the build process, excuse the barrage of pics
Before she went under the knife and got her feet wet. Had 480sc SLI and a Venomous X cpu cooler
Taping the top off for cutting
Front view with the 480 rad installed
Rad clearance
Front panel attached with some minor trimming to clear the 480 rad
Top panel grill support and dust filters removed for better airflow
Backside of the top panel, 3 tabs had to be removed to clear the fan
5.25 drive covers also had the supports cut and dust filters removed
Lower front intake got the same treatment
Full frontal :lachen:
Rear shot, removed the pass-through covers
Top panel attached with perfect fitment
AP-15s installed
240 rad installed with push/pull AP-15s
