There is alot of space in those things eh!!!
I have one still in the box in the attic I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Just bought it since the things were cheap.
I would advise you to pick up the copper one.

I mixed it about 20%ish antifreeze in a gallon of distilled
Good job on the top mount rad install, gotta love those Rocketfish cases.
You should try running strait distilled with a few drops of copper sulfide, your temps will be a bit better than running distilled with antifreeze.
Yeah i would but i have the aluminum top on the GTX.. i don't want to risk any corrosion, right?
If i ever tear my loop down again, im going to check it and if it is corroding im going to get a copper top for it. Along with the antfreeze, i was told to add a few drops of povidone iodine to act as a biocide i believe. I think it works, its been about 4 months, and its just as clean as the day i put it together
I've changed the reservoir location, put a new power switch on the top of the case, removed the door, and put in some rocker switches. CCL switch is were the old power switch was. The one lit up is for the controller panel, that lights the two LED fans. So with those two off, i can completely black out the computer with it on and it wont over heat!. I haven't come up with a use for the other two though.
I love the new location of the res, its so pretty. lol
