    Well, I didn't get to Ace for the JB-Weld till today, so not much updates.

    Holes filled in, waiting for stuff to set:


    Also, last weekend I was up visiting some friends at my old college and found a random computer case in the trash. Yay donor case :p


    More to come tomorrow once the JB-Weld sets.

    Wow, it's been 6 days already? Whoops... Anyways, classes started this week, so life has kinda been getting in the way of modding
    I finally got around to filling in the front panel:

    looking good mate, im glad your going to fit a slot load drive, as i feel yiour vertical drive would require two hands to change disc

    Yeah, probably, I just didn't want to sink that much cash into that part of it until I know it's going to work.

    I have one of these Dell cases, I would start a mod on it if I A) had parts and B) didnt have 3 other mods going

    The plans and progress look great. +Subscribed.

    Sorry, no pics tonight. I should be able to put in some modding time tomorrow, but for now I just wanted to run an idea by some of the members with experience with water cooling. What I'm thinking for the loop atm is
    ....CPU -> Rad -> GPU -> Rad -> pump -> CPU....
    Cooling a Q9450 and a GTX260, using two Black Ice GTX120 radiators, driven by an 18W DDC-12V. Do you think this will keep the components cool enough? I haven't seen many people using 120.1 rads, but I feel like two should keep the loop cool enough. Another thought; should I try to squeeze a small reservoir in there or should it be fine with that loop, using 1/2" OD tubing?

    My loop is res>240mm rad>pump>CPU>GPU>120mm rad>res
    I use a BlackIce GTX120 and an Alphacool NexXxos 240mm rads.

    I get temps of about 36c idle for my Q6600 and about the same for my 8800GTX. Do you have space for a 240mm rad instead of one of the 120mm rads? Cos you are cooling a high end quad and a hot graphics card the extra wouldn't hurt, especially for over clocking.

    I'm trying to keep everything inside the confines of the original design as much as possible, and a 240 would stick out the back (or front) about 3-4mm, thought it would fit better for width. This was why I originally decided to go with dual 120.1's. Turned sideways, I think they would just barely fit. Do you think a single 240 would provide more dissipation than dual 120's? I'll try messing around with sketch-up model, try and see if I might be able to fit more rads in there. Thanks for the pointers.

    Yeah there is always the space issue with radiators lol.

    I dunno what performance gains a single 240mm rad would have over duel 120mm rads. If you use full thickness rads like the Thermochill PA120.1 or the Feser radiators you shouldn't have a problem, even BlackIce GTX radiators work really well.

    The configuration in your Sketchups look good and should work fine.
