Well, here's the beginnings. I couldn't resist the MCR320QP for $45.00 at Petra's. What a kickass little rad. I weighs almost nothing with 3 Yate Mediums attached. And the Tygon R-3400 to go along with my Distilled /PTnuke mix. Notice the fans don't have stickers on the fan hub anymore? Frame side yes, but not the hub side.

Gonna go shroudless on this one guys. There's already a 1/4" standoff built in on these rads. I cannot believe the amount of air coming through this thing when all three of these fans are on 1600RMP. WOW. Even at 4ft away, my hair is getting blown back.

I made a bit of a mod to the fan wires. Now they all run off one plug. My fan controller does all three at the same time nicely, but I have a feeling I'll just get rid of that all together and run them off an extra 4pin Molex.

I'll post more as the project progresses. Currently waiting on Station 14 from Navig.

Can't wait to see the rest of it! The MCR320 for $45 is such a good deal.

Yeah, those Swiftech radiators are such a good value for the performance they give.

Re did the cable to run off a 4pin Molex instead.

Here it is in testing stage before I hook it up to the new bench.

I like the nice sleveing you did with your fans. Neat and simple. Btw, mediem = "M"?

Overnight, just like all my other T-line setups. It goes alot quicker if you squeeze the tube from the block to the rad to help pump the air out and up the t-line, but who has time to do that.

yeah. idk, i dread refilling my system, which also uses a t-line. maybe the positioning isnt optimal since i am using a midsized case, but it requires constant shaking an inverting for a long time to get all of the bubbles out of my thermochill rad and the tubes.
