    It's not quite as impressive as Spawn's , but here's mine.

    thats for the other comments if i can get a better job i would like to expand the rad setup from a 3x3 to a 4x4 setup. then i can not only have 32 fans, but i can go off road

    x88x - is that 7/16" over the stock 3/8" barbs on the pump or did you mod the pump?

    Actually it's 3/8" Tygon over the stock 3/8" barbs.

    here's mine the pic of the UV-lit pump is kinda dark, sorry...and the dual UV lit reservoirs are visible through the side opening flaps (as well as through the vent holes in the roof). I'm not sure about the fate of the blue fan in front - I discovered last night that it really does not seem to contribute to keeping temps down (I thought it might help and was worth a try). I don't know yet if I'll leave it in there or not; if I do I'll probably solder it into the same fan speed controller that's running the 6 1600rpm Scythe Slipstream rad fans.

    well for my hardware it wasn't necessary at all. I got it back when I first built this rig, and only got it cuz it was cool to say I had a liquid cooled computer lol. Then as time went on and I changed cases, then modded the case a few different times, it got to be a hassle disconnecting all the tubing, draining it, reconnecting, refilling, then refilling every month or so when the water level got a little low and I could hear constant trickling that annoyed me till no end.

    the Thermaltake Big Typhoon Pro 14 that I have now is a lot simpler, and cools just as well as the WC setup I had did

    Well, you were actually partially correct. I ran out of 3/8" fittings, so the fillport line is 1/2" fat boys.
