Sounds like fun...I might get in on the action and set me up a water cooling rig myself!!

Cold Storm · May 13, 2009, 05:10 PM

Ohhh, Subscribed!!! U2-ufo is a sweet case! I was thinking of getting one myself. It's nice big, and works quite well.. But, I just went with the Pinnacle 24 case. Will be here Friday! Woot.

From what you have listed, it does look quite good to do. The only hard thing to look for is the dang Heatkiller cooler..

h3llb3nd4 · May 13, 2009, 05:17 PM

Are you going to sell your lian li?
Subbed

computertechy · May 13, 2009, 05:25 PM

its knackered mate tbh!

its not even a lian-li anymore

its a dremel-li

and i scratched the plastic on the side panel and cant buff the scratch out so i cant use it anymore

LMAO

icon1 · May 14, 2009, 04:26 AM

oh that MM U2-UFO case is sweet

subscribed! this is going to be good..

ghost007 · May 14, 2009, 04:46 AM

i have the Ascension cyo just putting it together. I will have pic on it here. I think i will call it CLASSIFIED PC from the Motherboard that is going in there.

computertechy · May 14, 2009, 01:02 PM

ok lads and ladies

i have some minor set back's and a cash flow problem, the fact is i have enough cash to get it all, but not enough if something was to go wrong

so i will start the ordering for this on the last working day of the month (PAY DAY)

this will be a very interesting month for those of you who have subscribed to this

please stay tuned

cheers

Cold Storm · May 14, 2009, 09:31 PM

Man, every day is a new day! Man, I'm on the edge of my chair... lol. Be that way till I see it all done!!

Woot!

NJHC · May 15, 2009, 12:41 AM

Looks like it's going to be a sweet build. Keep us posted.

I know what you mean about money. I had to put my build to the side for a couple weeks so I could build my wife a new rig for Mothers day and also forked out a ton for my sons birthday this weekend.

computertechy · May 15, 2009, 08:10 AM

thanks for the reply guys

case is now changed, i will be getting the U2-UFO Extended!

U2-UFO is 18x18x18
U2-UFO Extended is 18x24x18

deeper will be more better for me as i love my cable management, my loops, pushing/pulling my rads

, the height and width are fine

icon1 · May 15, 2009, 09:18 AM

^^
now this is getting more interesting... good luck on the case bro
dang that U2-UFO Extended is huge!!

computertechy · May 19, 2009, 05:40 PM

right okay, my prices are now sorted!

i will be charged 21% of the value of this case @ customs!

going to run 2 colors of coolant aswell now

Acid Green & Red UV coolant

with UV Blue Acrylic side panels

Cold Storm · May 20, 2009, 01:52 AM

I love the case! You'll love it too man! really will!

damn, 21%... Sorry to hear about that man!!!

as for the two colors.. I can't wait to see it.. I feel it's a hit and miss on that sort of thing.. But, I have seen quite a few in the past few months that have made it look SWEET!

Can't wait to see more!

computertechy · May 20, 2009, 11:01 AM

i was going for green for amd, red for ati. hopefuly it will look good

tzitzibp · May 20, 2009, 11:35 AM

I love big sized cases (a few projects going on, here on TPU, at the moment, CS

) and MM sure know what they are doing... this should be a fun project for you! Hope you have no problems , as money dont grow on trees (

)...

as for the colour scheme... well, as a painter, I would avoid contrasting red and green as it is really hard to get the right balance out of it... but, UV lights might produce a superb result.

I'll follow this through, for sure!

computertechy · May 20, 2009, 12:19 PM

well my old system is still up and running, i can get a sample of uv red and just see how they contrast

cheers for the heads up TZ

Cold Storm · May 20, 2009, 04:26 PM

Can't wait to see the red and green man! that I can't!!!

It should look good on how you do it man. Just gotta get the right tools, and thought! I'd also do one half green leds, and one half red. Throw the vive of the whole AMD/ATI wave link!

ghost007 · May 24, 2009, 03:57 PM

got my pic up and running

computertechy · May 29, 2009, 12:07 AM

i will have to wait until next week for my watercooling bits. I will have to pay 2 shipping cost's because i might grab some bits that have chances of going out of stock!

Cold Storm · May 29, 2009, 12:10 AM

Woot!!!! Can't wait for this to come man!!!!

tzitzibp · May 29, 2009, 10:56 AM
