Well I definately like this build better than my last watercooled pc.

I have a Swiftech Storm Rev. 1, Alphacool Laing DDC Pump Ultra, Danger Den Maze 4, Swiftech MCRES-MICRO Res, Black Ice Xtreme II equiped with Danger Den Stacker Shroud with 2 Sanyo Denki fans. Installation was a piece of cake and I used Swifter Dry Sweeping cloths under the danger den stacker shroud to control the dust bunnies and keep the dust out of the black ice xtreme rad.

Leak tested and no problems so far. I could not stand the fans any longer. I guess once you go watercooling you are stuck. I built this pc about a year ago and thought I wouldn't mind going back to air cooling. Boy was I wrong. She's as silent as a sleeping baby.

NICE JOB! :beer:

The tube on the Storm inlet looks a little restricted, you might want to adjust it or atleast pull a hose clamp and the restricted section to round it back out. JMO

I think the pic of the storm inlet tubing has a shadow and looks like it is restricted. The tube is perfectly round with no kinks or bends so I dont think there is any restriction present. I have plenty of room and will try adjusting her.
