I put up larger pictures of the cases on the OP. So now you can actually see them because before they were super tiny.

Nice!!!! More red added to your black Phantom looks good. Have your temps decreased much?

Idle with fans on low RPM, high RPM drops things 4-6c except the HD which never gets hot in the first place. CPU is oc'd from 3.2 to 4.0 GHz

I think the darkest red would look nice! The led fans would drown out on the lighter red mesh right? Have you thought about painting more then just the mesh? check out k.3nny"s log of his paint job. He painted some trimming of the case to blend in with the mesh and it looks really nice! If you did something like that with your black and red scheme that would looks sick.

Specs:

NZXT M59 mid-tower case
AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz AM3
EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GTX 560 Ti
ASUS M4A88T-M AM3 880G board
CORSAIR 650TX power supply unit
Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB)DDR3

I have a M59 And i really liked! Good spec's!

When ever i get the upgrade itch i move my computer parts to the M59 for a few months then move back to the tempest this helps me not spend to much money. and it fills like a new build each time

Ok, pics are up! I didn't have a chance to do any benchmarks or overclocks today. We still need to get a decent cpu cooler because this stock one is crap, but other then that everything is running smooth. Enjoy!

So, here's my new challenge. I have this NZXT Vulcan here:



And some newly acquired liquid cooling equipemnt here:



My goal is to water cool the CPU, IOH, and GPU with the following.

XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 Kit
Koolance CHC-122 (MB) Liquid Cooling Chipset Block
EK Radeon HD 6970 VGA Block
An extra 4' of PrimoChill PrimoFlex Tubing

Never done water cooling before. My ECO is good, but I need cool my 6950. It gets real hot and noisy when gaming. So it's time to get wet for real.

Anxiety tells me to do it all at once, but common sense tells me to do the CPU first and move on. I have no experience in draining and refilling a system like this, so it's a little unnerving.

My current plan has the radiator mounted on the back and the resevoir/pump in the lower front of the case.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

This is going to be interesting because the Vulcan is a tiny case. I see you got the XSPC Rasa kit, very nice! My only beef with your choice is that Feser coolant crap. I would recommend Distilled water with PT nuke Biocide. UV coolant does look really cool with uv cathodes but produces a lot of oxidation and other chemical build up within the loops. I can't wait to see some progress.

Thanks. Still building up my nerve. Probably get started this weekend. And space will be a challenge.

I knew I would get some flak for the fesser fluid, but I want it to be blue.

I did get a free kill coil. Got to learn the hard way I guess.

I use Antec TriCool LED. They are 3 speed adjustable and have bright blue lights. Or red, or green.
