This is the watercooling project I'm building for my father. It includes the spiral waterblock I made and posted earlier.
Here's the case w/ the radiator installed.

Bumped the fsb up to 145. The full load temp went up 1 degree (86F) Haven't had to touch the voltages yet.

I think it looks very nice:)

and I take it that the case is on wheels or something so its off the ground?

man that waterblock is awesome make me one:D
you should make one out of copper, you may ever beat the maze2
Very nice setup there. The bottom radiator mounting works well. I did it with a 12x7' on the bottom and put wheels on the bottom of the case. Yours look lie castors which work too. I love that block.

Thanks for the feedback :) I put casters on the case to get the right height. I figured out the total wattage for the cooling system and it's only 11.3 watts max!!! Pretty efficient little cooler I must say and as quiet as can be. I haven't seen the temps go above 32C after running prime. Right now it's sitting at a cool 27C.

I'm using 98SE. I'm pretty excited to get my watercooled setup going... I'll be posting pics of that in part 2. It a very different setup. Should have much lower temps.
Perhaps I'm just insane, but I don't see any images in that post...

You guys cant see the pics becasue homestead.com restricts daily bandwith to something tiny like 25mb. so everyone looking at the pics today has overloaded that bandwith. If you try to go to his website, this is the message it give you:
"The site you have attempted to access is not available at this time.
This member's Web site has exceeded its maximum bandwidth limit for the day. The bandwidth limit will be reset on a daily basis.
High traffic sites with numerous file downloads a day could run the risk of exceeding this limit. This account is still active.
