Yay an update, it sucks waiting for orders, I have been waiting close to 3 months for my water blocks .

[.Maleficus.]

Wow, been a while eh? Anyways, I haven't had much time for anything lately, and even less for modding. I've got a few things to show you though. Not much, but it's getting there.

Here's the front/top/bottom of the res. Bent with the trusty heatgun.

Here's one of the walls of res.

It will go on one of the removable hard drive trays like this.

Here's the bracket for the pump.

Which looks like this with the pump.

Which goes in this 3.5" bay tray.

Which ends up looking like this. Foam on the bottom is for noise reduction.

I'm hoping for a little more time on this today, possibly unrivetting the case to cut the hole for the 120.2 rad.

Later guys.

Ive heard that Lifegard Quiet One/rainbow quiet one pumps arent too great, atleast the new models (the plastic ones)

have you tried running it? if so comments about it? Since their cheaper then the recommended ones.

What? That's a Hydor pump. I have no idea what a Lifeguard Quiet One is.

However, it was a great price for $64, and it's quiet.

oh my bad, they looked similar same color and design. nevermind <.<

Yikes, been a while. I have good reason for that though (or I like to think so at least :p).

This update is from impatience. I couldn't wait for Performance-PCs any longer, so I just ordered some other stuff. Originally, I was going to get an EK-Wave block, but since EK is designing a new block, and it's been 6 weeks since Performance-PCs gave me the 3 week notice for new blocks, I decided to get something else. I just ordered...

Danger Den TDX for LGA775
2 Swiftech MCW30 Chipset blocks
Danger Den Fillport and Danger Den fittings <-- For my res

You'll notice I didn't get a GPU block. I'm waiting on Newegg for that one, and even then, I don't think I'll watercool the X1600Pro. I'll wait until I have my 8800GT, and then I'll put the block on that, instead of doing it twice.

As soon as this stuff comes in, I'll be going hard at this. It's in the 30's - 50's around here right now (fahrenheit) so I need to finish this before I lose the chance.

Later guys.

You should get the Swiftech Apogee GTX over the Danger Den block, or if anything replace that Danger Den TDX with the new version with the pins in it (like the Apogee GTX).

[.Maleficus.]

I would have gotten the GTX, but I would be waiting STILL for that, because it's waaay cheaper at Newegg, and they don't have the MCW60 in. And either way, the TDX still does perform very well, and was ~$10 less than the GTX at Newegg.

[The boy 4rm oz]

I had to wait a while for my MCW-60 but I think it will be worth the wait when I get it cooling my 8800GTX.

[.Maleficus.]

Woah. Update, can it be?

Yes.

Not a big one, but I've been busy, and finding time for this is really hard. All I have left to buy for this is my 8800GT(S), MCW60, and some fans. Then, all I need to do is finish the mod and it'll be set. So, lets get started.

Here's all the WC parts so far.

The front stripped of the door and panel.

Bye-bye fan.

Top had to be removed for this next part.

And here it is.

RadGrill placement. This is where the 102.2 rad will be.

DD Fillport placement.

Skip ahead an hour, and here's the end result. Cut with a Dremel and hole saw. Sorry fo the lack of WIP pics, I'll try for some next update.

That's all for now, up next I have some more cutting on the side panel, some cutting on the plexi for the side panel, some painting, some mesh, some lighting, some waterloop-ing, and more.
