Nope. Im icelandic. :p

In anycase, yeah, just invert the intake on that res, and if you cant fit a shroud on the rad, better make it pull instead (pulling air in from outside). Reduces dead spot. You can also raise the pump for shorter tubes and make the outlet of the GTZ to be on top so ittle be a bit easier to bleed out air in it. Other than that, ganda!

OK, I have another project that I'm putting together that involves my main rig. Here are the parts that I am using:

IMGP0265.jpg

Pump, Tubing, and Res

IMGP0266.jpg

Water block, Backplate, and Mounting Hardware

IMGP0267.jpg

Radiator with 3X120mm Yate Loons (High) pulling and 3X120mm Koolance (2700 RPM) pushing. Might have to remove the YLs if there are clearance issues. Note: I sleeved the cables for a nicer look:D

IMGP0269.jpg
IMGP0270.jpg

Last but not least, here is my VGA with a DD water block attached

IMGP0271.jpg
IMGP0272.jpg
IMGP0273.jpg

Parts are mostly DD since I can get them the next day because they're only 2 hours away:D

More pics to follow as soon as I start the tear down, bleed/leak test, and reinstall.
