12gb (3x4gb) Triple Channel GSkill Ram

PNY GTX 275 (upgrading to gigabyte 570gtx once i sell some old parts on ebay (intel mb, raptor hdd, 6gb tc ram, ect...))

Once i get the new card im gonna overclock the system. Just did all the cable tucking not too long ago and upgraded a few things. Pretty happy with it for now. Red LED theme ftw.

Just ordered this through retailedge for free. First time messing with liquid coolers. Should make the case look even better without the big bulky aluminum heat sink. Also need to paint the HDD cooler black. I know its not very modded in a fun creative way... But i like it :)

Guess i gotta do something to my case to get a little love around here eh :)

I have plans to maybe create an LED lit up intel or nvidia logo above the motherboard in the empty space. Maybe some spray foam painted black with clear plexi letters that light up red.

So how do you like the new water cooler?

And what air cooler was that you were using before? I don't recognize it at all. :think:

[Fuganater]

Ya I'd love to get before and after stats on the CPU cooler.

I actually did like it because you could put the fan on any of the four sides. But hands down this liquid cooler is the way to go. Not bulky and heavy, keep its nice and cool. Looks 100x cleaner in the case.

I need to paint the dvdrom and hdd carriage black still but for now im happy with my results. Maybe some red pin striping around the motherboard.
