The build

NOTE: This build is actually over a year old, built somewhere in mid 2010 but I have never uploaded the build to this site. Also, please do not judge based on hardware, as if you read below, this build was made using components I had laying around the house. With that, please rate and comment :) Thanks for looking. Here's another Watercooled system that I put together, this time for my personal use This system was assembled to allow me to have a much more portable unit for the purpose of Lan Parties. This build consist mainly of some of my older components. 90% of the parts came from my old Folding machine that I no longer do due to financial constrain. The only new parts in this system would be the case, the PSU and some of the watercooling parts. Please do not mind the horrible paint job on the PSU. That was done in a rush to finish the build ASAP for the Lan Party.

I don't like you PSU paint job and your color scheme and the color of your cooling fluid. It looks like olive oil!

I voted 8 of 10.... great looking visual build. Also fairly functional.... but if I were you I would have spent more money on better water cooling equipment (I.E. Water block for video card)

But I love the color scheme

Thank you Rain! :) Well like I mentioned in the Build notes, this build, along with all the water cooling components, was done using old hardware laying around the house. Gone are the times when I can afford to spend a large amount of money on computer components, especially water cooling parts :D So I make do with what I have. Anyways, there isn't a full body waterblock for the GTS 250s lol.
