Ok, got a bit more done before bed. I made the mount for the res and got to use another of my new toys, the tap & die set!
I rather quite like that.

Nice work so far! +rep

haha i love the build, and the edit in the last post
is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

Ok, no work update right now, but my NB waterblock came in today!
Big box:
....little box.... (yes, that was the only thing in there..well, other than a crapload of packing peanuts)
and last but not least, the waterblock. look harder, you'll find it eventually
Just to accentuate how small this thing is; yes, those are standard G1/4 fittings...thing is tiny!
I finally made it to Ace today after work to get larger alu angle for the 120.3 rad mounts...I'm really glad I checked how much it costs... I only need ~3' for the mounts, so I was gonna get the 4' length because obviously that's gonna be a lot cheaper than the 7' length, right? Apparently not! The 4' was $10.99 ...and the 7' was.... $11.99 ....seriously, what's up with that? Needless to say, I now have an extra 3' of alu angle going into the spare parts...closet?

Ok, little snippet. The only thing that really bugged me about this case was the feet. They were these nasty hard plastic things, with a thin ring around the edge, so only that thin ring was actually touching the ground. So, I looked around the furniture section at Ace and found some nice big flat rubber feet about the same thickness as the current plastic ones. (The one in the foreground is the new ones).
Much nicer

=DD I'm glad I was able to aid in your scheming. I was thinking of throwing the rad there, but when you mentioned modding the bays, it sparked some curiosity. I'll have to play around with it and post the results up here.
As for the mod; nice work! Really like how it's coming along so far. Can't wait to see what you have in store. ^_^
"Don't imitate the world; Create your own."
Bleagh, I really need to get to sleep... oh well, I wanted to get the res mounts finished tonight, and I did.
Basically I took two lengths of 1x1x1/8 alu angle and ran them down the inside of the 5.25" bays on either side.
Mounts by themselves on case:
The res then mounts on one side:
And the fans mount on the other:
Unfortunately, my awesome fans are about 2mm thicker than normal 120mm fans, to I'm gonna have to either use different fans or shave 1mm off four edges
I also mounted the other two rads:
I'm quite liking how this one is turning out so far
Tomorrow (ok, later this morning...ok, maybe this afternoon ) I'll be working more on the WC loop and getting that new NB block set up.
What I'm planning on doing for the loop is:
pump>CPU>rear120>NB>top120>GPU>120.3>res>pump
Keep in mind that the NB in this case is a GeForce 9400, so it gets really hot. Previously on the crappy passive HS, running two 1680x1050 monitors, it would usually run in the mid to upper 70's C
Unfortunately, I didn't examine the MBB before ordering the NB block, or I would have ordered one for the mosfets as well. For now I'm thinking I'll just cut the heatpipe off near the mosfet HS and let it be.

good work with the rads... love the front mounted rad. reminds me of an intercooler on a turbo'd car. you better put some lightning bolts on that case!
