Okay, here are some pictures. I got a new D5 pump, I did some wiring changes, I got some HD coolers (thanks for the gear Antec! (dave)).
I also redid the paint on the top panel, and I think that it turned out really nice.
I just need to finish up the side panels, install the Proc and GPU, and the system is ready to go!
Here is the new paint:
Here is the front.
The insides in all their entirety:
The heart of the system:
very sexy! I have the core 2 block and I'm going to try to cool a quad core cpu... I hope it's okay, I just didn't want to shill out the extra $50 for what looks almost the same.
New hardware, nice. I wanted a D5 but it was a little out of my price range.
LOL, yep, I had to have the D5 because of the flow path. The nozzles go JUST where I need them to.
As for the video card, looking like I will be doing a single 8800GTS 320 in there for now, then in February a 9800GX2. Because of the pump, I cannot fit SLI. Also, the eVGA step up program is out of the question at this point becuase I can't be without a video card for 3 weeks lol.
And oh yes, the block is VERY pretty. It's not about looks though, the columns allow for more heat dissapation.
Got the solid side painted.
Comin' around the mountain...
Here is a shot of the plumbing.
Pumped with fluid.
And lit up!
Now I just need to wait to step up my 8800GTS and borrow my friends EXT hd to transfer DATA, and I am ready to go!
Looking good mate. Great work.
Thanks man! I am actually ditching the CF front. I am doing a whole new thing with it, I think it should look pretty good when all is said and done.
I still have to:
Use putty to shape the front panel
Paint the front panel
Clear Coat all Panels
Almost there, I need to finish it up by February 18th, so wish me luck!
Good luck lol.
I got some putty and sandpaper to clean up the front panel:
I am going to try out this really neat looking trim... it was pretty cheap and looked good.
And some paint... what is the masking tape for I wonder...
The rough edges:
Filling them in:
Lights off: Yes I fixed the waterblock!
Lights on:

Comments and suggestions welcome!
Looks cool mate, I hope to have mine looking like that, except green coolant.
