So i took on the challenge of making this lovely case a bit more unique.

It is a very difficult case to work with and is very tight on space and cable management but i have managed to get some pretty decent watercooling in too.

I have to enlarge the tube holes as the ones on the case were too close together to fit the back radiator on.

To fit the top radiator (black ice gt stealth 280, dual 140mm) i had to cut away some of the top fan mounts to fit the fittings though. It is a very tight fit as it shows here.

Well done, it is a tight case to work in. Personally i hate my PC-P50 but that's just me.

If that's a Supreme HF cpu block you need to turn it 90 degrees. They recommend not to mount it that way.

Blue window came out really well.

Looks sick, love the white/clear tubing. Have inspired me to do something similar! Hoping the 650D lets me watercool though.

Should do, plenty of room in mine and space for a dual 140 RAD at the top. very tempting :cool:

Nice rig you've there!

Got to ask though, why the different colours for the tubing?
FlasH
01-04-11, 17:31
Why not? :cool:

I think it looks awesome

Each to their own. I for one MUST have everything the same. OCD, I think.

nice build, how loud is the res/pump combo?

me and kuma had that discussion about the tubing and tbh it looks great. why not use seperate tubing ? the colours are balanced and different and they go together well.

personally i think homogenous and symetrical designs are terrible and im pretty sick of simple 2 tone colours schemes too. and he agreed with me and went for the 2 tubing colours.

also many people describe themselves as having OCD because they like symmetry and cleanliness and/or whatever when really it is OCPD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_personality_disorder) huge huge difference and i would like to point that out as i get pretty sick of people claiming they have OCD when in fact they do not live with the nightmare of OCD.

not that i have formed any judgement on that :P
