Beautiful looking setup!

Hella sweet triple monitor background!

My first watercooled rig









I also made a quick youtube video. The camera couldn't capture the color and vibrancy very well... but it gives you a good idea.

YouTube- Ice Ice Baby! Watercooled Torture Rack i7

That is a sick tech bench!

Thank you!

that looks very nice. good color theme. how long did the cable braiding take? I was considering it but not sure if I have that much patience.

Thank you! 3 days maybe

here's my rig

My P-160

I know it's an old case and many hated the looks, but so what.*

Here's my Antec P-160 case on it's 5th system and first mod. I added a Xigmatek 170 mm "Blue" fan to the side panel using a Dremel circle cutter. It's mounted to blow on my dual EVGA GTX 260's as well as the ram and northbridge area. I used a 140 mm grill and door edge molding from Autozone to trim the hole. I used screen material glued to the 140 mm grill to make the filter. The top has a Xigmatek 140 mm "Blue" fan added the same way. In the front I removed the metal mesh, plugged all of the perimeter vent holes and the bottom slot. I put in a Rosewill 120 mm blue led fan. I used the guts of the rear slot mounted fan controller and mounted them to my blank 3.5" bay cover. I have an Asus 60 mm northbridge cooler mounted to my ram and a Corsair H70 with the dual 120 mm's mounted to exhaust air. This setup keeps my temps pretty low running my 1090T @ 3.8 Ghz, 4.2 Ghz Turbo even with the 2 GTX 260's.

Will add more pics in a day or two.
Edit: Added the pics.

Antec Performance One P-160 (5 years old)

140 mm Xigmatek I added to the top



170 mm Xigmatek to the side for GPUs and NB/Mem



The guts, wiring's not perfect but is out of the way



Besides, it doesn't have a window.


Aug 2011, just added 2 EVGA GTX 560Ti SC video cards!

Hi all, new to this community. I stumbled across this thread and, WOW look at all these awesome mods! I actually just finished modding my case for better air flow and decided to post my pics. By the way, I'm trying to find a cool looking 120mm fan grill for my front fan. Does anybody know of any good designs that aren't too restrictive of air flow? Thanks.

Update... New block, new "tubing", new res, added a pump, new pump top, new TMI...

God dammit I love your test bench. I wish i had a taste in color like you.

That tracer ram looks real sick. Nice rig

This is day 1, I found it at goodwill and decided i would make something out of it (Its the pink one, building it for my girl.)


I added 3 case fans, purple lights, sleeved the PSU cables and added some holes in the back to tuck and hide wire behind And of course painted the case. Once i have it fully assembled i will update the pictures!

Going through this entire thread really shows how far the pc market has come over the last decade. Simply incredible

i really want to paint my case dark purple grrrr
