H2O Setup...56K Beware

Here's the pics I promised of the finished system. I still have some wire-cleanup to do, but it's pretty much done for now. Enjoy!!

Waterblock: I had to send my WW back to D-Tek, here's the TC-4

Panel Off:


Front w/ Rez: The DigiDoc5 is missing at the moment, more later..

All the Lights On:


**Now, the reason why the 120MM panel fans don't appear to be on is b/c of this...They aren't. I wired a custom board / circuit to my DigiDoc5 that automatically will cut them on when the case temps exceeds 24C. 1 or Both will come on depending on the temp. This way, I don't have the added noise of 2 120MM fans until it's neccesary, then when the temp drops they cut off. If you have any Q's about it, let me know.

Very nice setup! I wish i had that much room to work with. Also, i didnt know you can do that with the DigiDoc, i should definately get that for my next system.

Looking good

one minor thing to slightly improve performance would be to move the res to the first bay where your disk drive is, and shorten the tubing.

Actually, the rez won't fit in the top bay b/c of the 120MM fan. It hits the fan with about 3" sticking out the case. I'm gonna shorten the tubing once I drain / refill at the end of the week.

The digidoc5 won't control on/off automatically. I took a board out of one of those pyramid fan contollers and modified it, then hooked it into the digidoc5. It wasn't hard, just time consuming.

it doesnt look like the res will fit ther tho... I have the same case BTW w/o windows i love the roominess of it. Nice setup

I love the roominess, I can't imagine having anything smaller, or bigger for that matter. It actually seems kinda small when you start trying to fit all that stuff in there...
