Ok, waited long enough, here's my 1st (although modified) watercooling attempt!

Have been watercooling for a few weeks with just a Maze4 block on my cpu, added a Maze4 to GPU two days ago, and changed coolant additive to try and get a copperish color to my liquid. Kinda hoped to match my prevailing copperish theme, lmao.

Wanted to show everyone the results.

Thanks to everyone at the OC Forums, and also to BigSmokey's Chevette shroud find!

Also, I can hear my harddrive for the first time ever. Heh!

Hey, that looks real nice. Good Job!

good job on the improvment. you can see the obvious improvment between the systems.

i saw you used a blower in the air cooled computer. another user used a blower to cool the rad. ever thought about that.

was the blower loud? i was thinking of using one.

LOOKS GREAT

Good job on the shrouds, mounting the fans the way you did gives a nice clean appearance. Overall very nice effort.

100th post!

beautiful, looks like liquid brass running through the system

My thoughts exactly.

Neilmon2: Blowers aren't especially loud. Don't recall the db rating but really (imho) they are for pinpoint cooling and in most cases offer little benefit over standard fans. Depending on the size of your rad I dunno how well it would work. I had that nidec blower left over from my Voodoo2 days, when there wasn't much of a selection of fans on the market. Figured I'd put it to use when I discovered just how hot that little plate over video voltage regulators got. They are also a hassle to clean, as you can see in my pics this one is quite nasty with dust.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Now need a window in my case and maybe some lights

WTF is up with your 9700?

Do you mean the ram speed? It's a non-pro. Original ram speed was around 260, don't remember, I've always oc'd it as far as possible.
