I recently got a new rad and planned some changes to my case to go along with it.
i painted the rad with some dupli-color mirage paint and i must say it came out quite well but it doesnt show in the pics of course...the color changes from blue/purple/reddish, orange, oh and sparkles too
painted rad
rad 2
rad 3
i also painted the inside of my computer black and sleeved my psu cables black also.
this is in hopes to make my uv stuff stand out really well. im also putting my mcr-220 rad in series with the thermochill rad. the mcr220 will be located in the front of my case(and still have 5 drive bays free!) i also cut a slot in my motherboard tray for wires and such.
drilled 3 holes in the top of my case for tubing and fan wires...
i also removed my asus heatpipe and replaced the thermal pads with as5 and took off the heat trapping asus logo stickers from the pipe. i will be posting another thread about this once i get my machine up and running and have some temps...

back of empty case
pic of side with motherboard tray(wasnt going for neatness)
pic of window side
omg wires...getting closer...
woooowoooo
cables too short to run behind the motherboard
oooohhhhh, one tube hooked up, yay laff
glimpse of what it will look like with uv
comments and suggestions of where i could/should place things is most welcome!
flame me if u want for having 2 radiators also. i dont care!
specs of the machine in sig, all watercooled when said and done with a mcp655 pump.
more tubes going in tonight...
more pics to come once i get my friggin block from stasis thermal and leak test it.
