Damn it that looks factory (if the factory was on a different planet than Earth). Raising the bar...as usual.

Thanks CD, I built that a year or 2 ago for PDXLAN10, It was fun as I made all my own waterblocks as well.

To me MK, I think it should stay air cooled.. your throwing in the fact that it can be switched out in matter of seconds.. adding water, would make it to where you have to make sure you have the right block, worry about water... To me, it would be a design change but almost going away from what you said you wanted it to be of..
I would like to see it air cooled. just MHO

OK you guys got it, Il keep it air. Later today I am going to the glass shop to pick up some scraps to use for the mobo tray mold. I am hosting a LAN this weekend so I will be a bit busy till them but lucky for me the local kids want a LAN so bad they are coming over the next couple days to help me clean up the mess a freak windstorm did. So I will get my personal baloney done and I will be free to concentrate on finishing this up.

MP if you ever get to the states ur welcome to drop by anytime. For me its fun I open the livingroom, kitchen and a bedroom to comps and than in the back I show how to mod and just goof off.
(to me the ideal LAN party is Gaming, BBQ and Modding)

And CS the LAN is a bunch of work but fun for me too, I learn so much about stuff (programming,downloading etc) when the kids drop by.

LOL, 50? I would have a heart attack. I did a 30 here and my house was packed..this will be a lot smaller.
I really enjoy the 500 man ones I went to but I cant fathom how they set that all up.

Heh, we have a similar guy in Holland. He mods like a maniac, older guy late 50's I guess, and he's always so interested in what "we kids" do at the same time. Great guy!

I can also handle some cooking. :D

And I'm probably the only one that would rather see water, but I'm a performance before all else kind of guy.

Me. I put them on when I get up in the morning, and I don't take them back off until I either take a shower, or go to bed.
