That is very cool, I think it would be better with light blue water however, make the PC look like an aquarium.

:) nice find.

That is astounding. Absolutely stupendous work :drool: I wish I had his skills, that's really incredible.

I thought the reservoir placement was creative and the radiator was very fine.

Since he is from Croatia, the price of copper is probably much more, and yet it's still expensive in the states.

yeah that is pretty impressive.
I just wish he wasnt running everything in parallel. I also wish he had made the radiator with flat-tubes.

still incredible though

He should have done this with Copper Caps for more coolness IMHO. :D
But there is something to be said about DIY and Copper in HUGE quantities !

Looks cool, but imo not effective.

+1.

I can really see that guy's flow and head suffering.

I remember seeing this also a while back. Given that his goal was to watercool everything that produces heat, I would say he accomplished his goal. I would like to know how much he spent on copper.

I do think however that really a lot of that project will be money thrown out of the door in the long run. What does he do when he wants to upgrade? Almost every block he made looks specific for just that MB.

You really do have to be impressed by his skills though. Swiftech or someone needs to hire that kid as he has a tremendous amount of skill and talent.

its cool and all but his temps after it all wern't that great, not to mention expandability etc... it is def hardcore though.

He also mentions somewhere in his thread about the whole thing costing him barely anything, so i would say he has access to alot of copper on the cheap, probably flogging it from work or something ^_^ else that whole things would have cost him like 1000$

i saw those temps and was like what??? i think my Thermaltake Armor LCS cool my amd 64 x2 4800+ better then that. But still a lot of work went into that build with a grip of creativity aswell. Hope fully he can work out any bugs to get it to cool better. No telling how much he spent or saved on that build. But he does have braging rights now.

Would be a deffinate no for low cpu temps, on the other hand the entire system is WCed.

No and I don't think that was his plan. I'm not sure what the Watercooling Market is like in Croatia, but I'm guessing that it was cheaper for him to build a lot of the stuff himself (the CPU block for example) than it would be to import something. My guess is that he possibly saved money overall by going that route, plus is fun to do stuff like that.
