Beautiful job! Would love to see more pics (the last one isn't showing for me).

Did you do the sleeving yourself on the PSU cables? Excellent workmanship.

If you dont mind me asking, how did u achieve the orange color? is it the tubing or a Dye? From what i can tell it looks like orange tubing? or am i wrong, if so where did u find it

Grieg · Apr 3, 2009

The waterblock appears to be mounted 90 deg from what I think is suggested? Is that because its on an i7 build and you had no choice?

Just curious. Either way, it looks completely fantastic! Great work!

Sweeeeeeeet. I really like the orange as well. I'd love to be a bit more amber in color myself. A hint of red maybe ontop of the orange? As usual, your builds create some awesome pictures!!

A couple questions for ya killuazaoldyeck (as I'm currently also working on a very similar project in an Antec 1200) I hope you can shed some thoughts...

I'm putting a Feser 480 radiator in the front of the case for the main loop. I think the single 4870x2 with an overclocked i7 will push the 480 toward its maximum (much less two cards in CF!) - but I'm not entirely sure.

You are running two loops - I was thinking of running a single loop-
pump-CPU-thermochill-GPU-Feser-Resivoir

...But I'm not sure how well it would work. I'm more concerned with volume at idle (full bore can be loud, who cares) than anything else.

The i7 core is mounted perpendicular compared to C2D CPU's. So actually it is mounted optimally for his system.

Just wanted to give another kudos for a very nice looking build!!
