after finally getting my replacement stasis neptune gpu block i finally finished my comp! hopefully i wont be messing with it for a while and can just enjoy it for many months to come.
temps have been awesome so far, i just turned it on this afternoon after 20 hr leak testing but things look very promising. with everything at full load my temps only increase by 2c from idle(woot!). with dual sp2004 and rthdribl going.
i have my vid cards clocked at 590 core/1795 mem right now but i have some more testing to see how far i can push them...
took the heatpipe of my a8n32sli and replaced the thermal pads with as5 and ceramique...also took off the asus logos cuz they seem to trap heat.

btw, coolsleeves ftw. the bend in my hose for my cards is pretty radical but coolsleeves kept the tubing nice and smooth.

lemme know what you think.
i also did some mods to the case for wiring and such and sleeved all my cables black so they would be hidden pretty well...
pics of case without guts here


specs in sig.

here comes the pics!

I'd like to thank you for the inspiration. The HD and PSU mounting is purely amazing. Def. going to try to arrrange something like that in my coming build.

Case looks great, one of the cleanest I think I've ever seen. Great workmanship also.

thanks man. hearing people say things like that makes it ALL worth it.
 
I really like the looks of that. I like my Aspire X-Navigator case, but it's a tight squeeze to fit my wc into it.
 
Very nice setup. Very clean, and your tubing it routed well in a logical sequence from bottom to top to bottom. I really think however that you need another rad ;)

Thor, are you sure you don't just have jet lag?
 
I like it its pretty sweet
Just curious did you pick the blue rad or did it come that way?
I have a black rad ontop of my blue case and you have the reverse :D
for me it was just luck of the draw

i painted the rad with some dupli-color mirage paint after i got it. even though it did come painted blue when i got it used...
unfortunately with the pictures i cant get the other colors to show up on the rad. the majority of the time it looks like a deep purple/maroon color


edit: actually, the 6th picture down shows the usual color of the rad pretty well.
 
Looks nice!

I'm jealous of how neat and tidy your case is - mine is an utter mess inside! :p
 
very nice job :) I like the little blower on the mobo heatsink...... and is that a statis waterblock i see?

thanks adam

yes, yes it is a stasis waterblock. one that works finally! :shrug:
 
thanks for the comments guys.
i just got in 5 triple blade hi speed delta fans in yesterday(141cfm at full blast).
do you think i should go with black cable sleeving on the fans instead of the green?
