Ok..A little introduction if i may..Basically, the goal is to watercool the case all internal without ruining the case's simple and minimalistic design. Yet maintaining a cool and quite system. The system will be overclocked to its highest stable clock(3.4ghz) on stock vcore.

So i present Project[Thessa] < named after my significant other as a tribute for financing this whole project. LOLZ! ;-D

Loop 1: Ek Res 250> MCP655>TC PA120.3> Q6600> NB> SB (EVGA 680i)
Loop 2: Ek Res 150> MCP655> BIX II 240 > 2 x EVGA 8800gts 512mb (Will Be changed later to BIX II 360)

Pics! :)
Top Mounted PA120.3




Lasercut Acrylic PA radgrill



Powdercoat done..mounted the res and top rad




front rad mounted in custom hd cage bracket


window cut


misc mods




thats it for now..some minor adjustments will be done later..

the parts i will be using

tubes will be replaced to a tygon 3400 1/2id 3/4od on compression fittings on the cpu block. the rest of the fitting will be the dangerden fatboyz

I have faith that it will rival some of TPU's best W/C systems and keep Fit and intel on there toes :D, Sorry to hear about the shipping but it will be worth it in the end :toast:.

Let me know how you like that 750w. I had a Turbo-Cool 1200w and it was way too loud for my taste. Are you planning to ghost that DVD drive? Tube layout looks awesome.

the silencer is quite. i would've like if they had a 1k watts version. the dvd drive will be covered by a lian li cd rom bezel. the top most 2 bays will house a Alphacool Graphical LCD-Display

Okay I was hoping you'd be ghosting it lol. It's so easy to do (especially with the Lian Li drive bay covers) that there's basically no reason to do it.

knet... this is looking gorgeous! Sorry to hear about the MB. I went through the same thing.

It looks like you are going for maximum coolant flow.
