Hi all been a while since i built my last rig .... i thought it would be a good time too get another one going. This will have 2 seperate loops .... one for the GPU's and the other loop for motherboard watercooling of chipsets and Mosfets and CPU

Motherboard .... EVGA X58 Classified
ThermoChill PA120.3
HEATKILLER® CPU Rev3.0 1366
Swiftech MCP655 12v DC Pump
EK-FB EVGA X58 Classified - Acetal

and currently waiting for a second rad and second pump.... gpu .... some fans blueray burner ...


Iv had this Mozart TX case sitting around for a long time so decided on using it for this build.

I stripped it down and removed the rivets ... sent it to powder coat. Got it back a few days ago and now all back together.

Before .....

I think you need a larger case.






Ok so it looks really nice, i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.

With that big of a case, you couldn't fit the rad anywhere inside?! haha

Looks sick, keep is coming!

I was planning to have 2 Reservoirs on the inside or maybe attach it to the sides of the rads. Those standoff for the rad is just temporary. Im thinking of getting this http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=829 for the rads.

Ya i think i need a bigger case lol.

You probably don't want the inlet of the MCP655 pointing down, presuming you're using a reservoir.

I called up swift tech and they said anyway other than pointing down on the inlet is OK

i think the picture is upside down maybe i am hoping?

I will be in vegas next weekend!!!


and yeah im with the others that thing is a monster im sure you can fit a radiator in there some where
I like the black color combo on the mo bo and case
edit: actually after looking more at teh pics, i dunno if you can fit one in there. thats a huge case but i dont think i can fit his 3x120

Some neighbors near me lost their house, can I send em your way? I'm sure they would only need 1/2 that case to live in....

Always liked that case.

hahahah more then welcome to live in there if you want lol ......

I have a question on the loop ... what would the optimum placement of the loop be with the res? this is the res i was getting ( EK Waterblocks EK-Multioption RES 150 rev.2 ) or do you all have a better suggestion?

Would the 250 be better?
This would be for the cpu loop.

Thanks for the help.

rule of thumb is always put the res before the pump so the pump never has a change to run dry while filling. the size and shape makes little difference.

Hmmmm i don't understand why ppl think that case is huge hehe ;-))
I'm using the same myselve and i'm pretty sure he can't fit a 120.3 in there but he can fir 3x120.2 in there
One below the hddcage and 2 in the back ,
and yes i love that case

I think that is seriously the sweetest case I have ever seen. I think I'd cut as many intakes into the side panel and use the case's spots for exhaust though :)

There realy isnt any room in there for a 120 x 3 rad ... it has to be outside unfortunantly. Thats why i had this stored in the garage for soo long not being used ... now my other case ... its a monster about 5 1/2 feet high lol, its still empty for now.

Not sure what im going to do with this one yet lol
