Having the cash to buy the choice bits means nothing.
Putting them together to make that is pure artistry.

Anyone feel like editing their scores? Nice work, only someone else did it for him!

(That is, unless he is the modder for PC-coolers!) ;P
To be honest.... still a 10 / 10 case....

That is by far the most tasteful lighting I've ever seen in a case. I can't stand some of the lighting schemes, and usually prefer not to have lights at all. You sir are a master craftsman.

Thank you all, you're to kind!

I want to mention that the same sistem, but with 3xEVGA 8800 Ultra's SC and green liquid in the VGA loop was used to present NVIDIA's 3xSLI technology here in Romania in December. http://www.go4it.ro/stire/2312638/NVIDIA-3-SLI-in-Romania.html

Nice???look who is talking. Hate is an awfully strong word, especially concerning something as benign as watercooling??? I bet you hate turbos, blowers and nitrous on cars.
Face it,..this case, on any scale, rates higher than what you gave it.
Flippin ridiculous.

Well, first off he made a great choice of cases to accomadate the end product. Second, I think there are quite a few mods going on here but they are done in such a way that they don't stand out and look OEM.

THAT is proffesionalism at its best.

I guarantee you would not be able to just buy all the parts and put them together and have what Ratusca has built here.

That's a prety statement. Do you see the hard drives and DVD's (from interior)? ... or the power cables and sata cables to them? Do you know the case? Do some research first, take a look at the case, the original case, an then see what's done.

Indeed, because this case is made to be sold as a sistem, it must look as OEM, not build on a steam ship on the way to nowereland...

Well layout and organize. What are the name of the parts used? And will I'll be able to find them in North America? I'll be building my first liquid cooled system and been researching different liquid systems and found these to be the nicest components. And the 3 purple hoses at the bottom goes where?
Thanks

Hey Drauk,

The cooling equipment looks to be primarily Aqua Computers stuff. You can find alot of their stuff at SharkaComputers.com.

The three lines at the bottom are likely for draining the system.

Thanks EnergyFX,
I agree with strick94u to show how to put the system together.
I'm planning to build my 2nd system in March and it would my first liquid cooled.
I already have the Stacker 830 and would be needing some advise but that would be another time and forum.

Wait until we finish our next project: 2 x Aplus BlackPearl cases linked, complete watercooled system + CPU cooled by an Asetek VapoChill® cooling system taken from their VapoChill case.

Alex (ratusca) is already workin on it, hopefully it will be finished soon.
