My dad wanted a big screen for the second computer so we put my 23" in there and got a new 24" (huge upgrade, I know :laugh:). They're basically the exact same monitors, but the new one is a little larger. We figured that since the old one had been so good, we should get more of it (or something like that).

Had to move the extra connections out from behind the mobo tray, it was bulging out and impossible to get on/off.

what are you using in the loop? the color looks great.

Feser UV Green, use to have Acid Green

i knew it was Feser! does that stuff gunk up your blocks,like normal feser dye, or is it totally liquid?:)

thanks.When i get the $$ in my PP i am going to get some of it. :toast:

it does gunk up over time but is the best coolant i have used. I change my fluid every 6 months anyway.

i pretty much live in this little corner lol

Hey I don't blame you, that's an awesome setup you've got there. :toast:

Then you haven't used straight distilled water. It outperforms all of the fancy coolants and additives.

you mean Distilled and Deionized water don't you Wile E we can't have it shortin out anything if it leaks now can we

Nope. Just plain distilled water. I've had mine leak with no issues. Distilled water is a terrible conductor. It's the impurities that conduct electricity.

The budget gamer forever :rockout:

Only complaint about this build is the Asus 5770. It was only $130 after rebate but probably has the worst cooling design of any 5770 and barely overclocks. I should have waited for a Hawk promo :(

Strange, I have that same 5770 and it cools just fine. I haven't bothered to OC it yet thou, as my X2 is the thing holding it back...

+1 Wile E is a part time scientist nights at the local community college. :roll: :laugh:


He is 100% correct though. :)

any chance for a front shot of that case? looks nice :toast:

sorry, should have really added UV coolant, i have used distilled and you are correct. i just like my fancy liquid. :toast:

all taken from my nokia n900 :)

after these post i'm not sure if i should add UV dye in my loop or just use distilled water with some Liquid utopia or something like it.

i think anything that you put in the water is too messy, clean water is nicer, and easier to handle, but thats just me

use colored tubes instead

nice dude, i have the same motherboard...

:confused: what board :p there is like 3-4 different on this page alone haha :laugh:

:laugh:

I was about to be like wtf with the area code.....then I realized you arn't state side. :laugh:

I also got some stuff from the big brown truck, but they didn't want to leave them.

the one that nexus have...hehehe

So I break open this Thermaltake V3 case. I tear it down to its minimal and notice something: This thing bears a lot of resemblance to some other case I've seen before. I've got 2 HEC Blitz cases and start noticing a few things about the Thermaltake case in common:

Uses the exact same feet
PCI panels comes off the same way
There are two panels that are reusable
Psu filter is attached to the case the same
Motherboard backing plate is exactly the same

After doing some thinking I remember this HEC case. On their site all naked like.

I'm pretty sure the V3 is that HEC case with Thermaltake's front panel and they moved the power switch and front panel ports around. Even the tooless parts are the same.

While I don't have that HEC case, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same thing. Too close to be chance. Not to mention a lot of similar designs in these two Blitz cases I have.
