Key features
The build
Need some Logisys 120mm UV Dual CCFL Ring Fans to effectively cool my system. I'll wait once I get an AMD 64bit system up and running. Could use a better case. Had to gut it. Way too many fans and way too much wiring before I went with watercooling. A quieter PSU is also on my Christmas wish list - an ElanVital Greenerger EVP-5007 maybe?

Performed mods
The CAPE watercooling installation includes a KC42-X2 Pro Copper block on the cpu, a NB 42-X2 on the chipset, and a GP 42-X2 Copper Radeon on the gpu.
The X850XT has ZALMAN RAM aluminum heatsinks.
A volt modded Swiftech MCP650 pumps approximately 600 LHP through a 8mm loop.
The Evo 1800 (with only 2 volt modded fans) allows the cpu to idle @ 38°C and the gpu @ 35°C.
An Alphacool AGB4 Plexi 200 serves as a reservoir.
A silentmaxx HD-silencer keeps one of my HD's cool and quiet (haven't bought the second yet).
