too much effort for something that would perform as well as air cooled. It would be silent though. Gorgeous build but come on... honestly why go water if you aren't going for performance?

I can see barbs - im guessing it has some form of H20?

*edit*

It is a watercooled setup - how will this only perform as well as air? :wtf:

Saw this on XS a bit ago. Some person posted that it fell off a table while being photographed. Not sure whether it's true or not.

That really is a sick case! But why do a red theme with Nvidia. Should of stuck a couple 4870x2s in there and a badass Quad and Oced the heck out of the entire build.

From what I recall, he made the blocks (or should I say block?) modular, so all he would need to do would make a new mount, or something like that. So as long as he didn't change the mobo, he won't have to completely rebuild in order to upgrade

If I was his boss and I caught him doing this at work I would tell him to make me one!
