The build
My first water build, mainly out of spare parts from upgrades done to my main system.
I somewhat dislike this cheap ThermalTake unit, it gets air bubbles in the loop really easy due to a silly design of the res if the unit is moved, but whatever. It keeps the temps of that old P4 in check so all is well.

If you didn't have that fan on the MOSFETs (the one which cools the MOSFETs and the heatpipe from the NB), you could easily fit that unit on the inside of your case which would make it look a lot better. That is basically how I have my first radiator on mine setup (www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1652/__1.jpg).
Interesting work with that IDE cable. I can see that you have put some time and effort into trying to make it neat and clean.
