Im rating 8/10 for one reason only - isnt this a little over the top? Do things such as the hard drives really need watercooling? And im sure this was an absolute pain in the arse to setup, and cost an absolute fortune!

Dont take this as negative feedback please, its constructive criticism, but i guess i have only said its a little OTT because i like my setups simplistic . . . Anywho, can i also ask, what temps does this whole shabang pull?

Wow

This Mod is a 10 out of 10....

If I had to pick one fault if someone pointed a gun to my head I would say I would have picked a different case to fit all this one...

Never the less this case is hard to duplicate hey if there is anyone that can do this..

Email me immediately.

Right... cause staying practical was the whole goal of this build :-/

Watercooling the hdds served a few purposes. First off... I wanted it to be a 'fully watercooled' system. Second, I wanted the innovatek hdd coolers to contribute to the all black finished off look of the front drive bay area. Third, the hdd coolers look so much better than any other option. Fourth, the original hdd cage was removed to install a dual radiator heat exchanger in its place. Fifth, 4 hdds would not fit in the original hdd cage so I was forced to find some sort of alternative anyways.

Sixth... it's just bad ass!!

I'm not trying to slam you... just defending/explaining my choice. Thank you for the feedback and kind comments!

They are Innovatek HDM-L enclosures. Good luck finding them. I don't think any US suppliers carry them anymore. In fact, I'm not entirely sure Innovatek even makes them anymore.

I bought the first two from HighSpeedPC.com, but they don't have them in stock anymore and haven't for well over a year now. The other two I had to go through a German supplier and paid out the nose for them. Using google and babblefish to translate the website was oh-so-fun.

I've been in the #2 spot for a loooong time with this rig. I've always looked forward to another system coming along and bumping me down in the ranks. I'd much rather get outvoted vs. getting sandbagged.

Hey Energy, it's been a while.
Don't worry about this Viana chick. A Lot of pissed off people have already pm'ed the Mod's.
If you look at her thread posts, in one day she managed to lower some 100 or so case mods. Just some crack head I am sure. They will probably ban her and delete all her posts. I hope anyway.
How is the new build coming along?

*Mouth foaming on the floor* WOW...damn this makes my rig look like $}{!#...How the hell did you create such a masterpiece! 3 Water loops...AmAzInG Specs and clean and finished look.

If I could give a bit of constructive criticism without being offensive...try and hid the SATA cable and any other cables that can be seen. This will improve the overall look dramatically. And BTW YOU...YOU are a GOD to me...this PC is one of the greatest...NO...THE GREATEST PC I have EVER SEEN! Congratulations on an outstanding rig...I wish you great luck in your future rigs and hopefully they can be as sacred as this one.

Happy Easter!
