keep in mind, it's always a work in progress.

@darknova expensive indeed! i paid $340 shipped.

@philbrown it's a silverstone TJ07. i just used the fills from the 900 because they are NICE!

@intel_agent dual loop in the first setup. im waiting on petra's to send me my 2 EK3870x2 waterblocks to put the GPU loop back together.

Did you remove a top/bottom divider plate in that tj07?

very nice anyway.

for now. it's getting machined to allow maximum flexibility for future upgrades/setups.

Ok I'll send drive bay cover when I get back home. I'm due in 27th or 28th. I cant see it costing much so dont worry about that. This site has helped me out in the passed and I'm sure I'll be helped out again.

But now if its 50.00 thats a different story. lol

strick94u sent me the 3 in the pic along with the antec fan shroud that holds them together. i was gonna just use one to finish up the top but i couldn't let the other 2 and the shroud go to waste. the TJ07 needed some airflow from the front anyway. looks good i think.

thanks again strick94u :)

im thinking about adding another rad to my case. it's gonna be pretty crowded and hard to plumb but i think the extra cooling capacity will help when i get my EK NB/SB/VRM blocks in the gpu loop.

any opinions?

I use a 360 xflow rad from hwlabs (optimized for LPDC) and i cool 2 * mosfets, 2 * 3870, NB, and i used to cool the CPU too (Vapochill now).
The 360 rad was enought with 3 fans on it (until i switched to the E8400 and its heat problem).
So i would say that if you add another 240 rad you should be way fine.
Personnaly i am planning on switching my 360 for a smaller 240 next month or so as i dont have the CPU in the loop anymore and that 360 is too big to my taste for in-case integration.

Hope my opinion helped.
