It seems like a tradition around here to tell everyone when they get the wc rig running, so I figured I would do it to. I got my first WC system up and running. 
I wasnt able to build the external case I was wanting to yet because of some family and financial problems, so I built me a temperary external case. I have to say Im quite pleased with the results. Specs are:
Swiftech MWC462-U
SwiftechRAD676 Radiator
Swiftech MCP300 pump
Resevoir approx.1/2 gal.
2 Delta 120mm fans. Cant fine these fans anywhere on even the delta web page. My best estimate is that they are about 75-90cfm each
Approx 9ft. of 1/2OD 3/8ID tubing( I know its kinda alot, but doesnt seem to hurt performance. And it was the shortest I could have it.)
Distilled water and Dex-cool at approx 90/10 ratio
So far with a ambient case temp of 26c I cant get my load temp over 32c.(this is at 1.7v, 13x166fsb) These temps are the same with sandra, speed fan, and the bios. I have to say Im quite suprised at how little fluxuation there is in the idle-load temp. My idle stayed at 30c with the same ambient temp.( when you see the pics, you will understand )I will post some pics as soon as I get the case cleaned up some.
Only complaint I really have is with the block. That thing was a real pain to mount. The screws/springs were SO strong and tight it too all I had to get the threads to bite and get it tightened down. It may just be my mobo, but I hope I never need to mount this thing again.
