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

). 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).

Old 23" on the Gamma rig

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

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

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

Athlonite · Jul 2, 2010, 05:01 AM

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

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

Radical_Edward · Jul 2, 2010, 10:13 AM

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...

He is 100% correct though.

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

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.
