Alright guys, my system is hopefully gonna go through an overhaul. As of right now its dirty and wires are cluttered all over. So im going to do a total system rebuild with new wire looms, and water cooling setup and other little accessories...

Status: 0% (in-Progress)

Supplies:
Organization and Controllers

- Wireloom (http://www.xoxide.com/techflex2.html) x2 (ORDERED)
- Fan Controller (http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-gatewatch2-silver.html)

Case Mod:
Dremel top and bottom of case for fan and fan grill. Dual 120mm Fans on top and bottom.

- Dual Fan Grill (http://www.xoxide.com/120mm-mesh-grill-silver.html) (ORDERED)
- Top Dual Fans (http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-120mm-turbine-1000-silver.html) (ORDERED)
- Bottom Dual Fans (http://www.xoxide.com/cooler-master-120mm-fan-tlf-s12-eb-led-blue.html) (ORDERED)

Water Cooling:
The two 8 series gtx cards will be in sli and water cooled along with the 4 gigs of RAM. The water will be feeded through an external cooler so the internal one can fully supply water to the cpu.

- 8 series Water block (http://www.xoxide.com/swiftech-stealth-water-block.html) x2
- RAM Water Block (http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-rocket-watercooling-kit.html) x2
- External Liquid Cooling system (http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-rocket-watercooling-kit.html)
- Blue UV Tubing (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2304/ex-tub-48/Innovatek_14_inch_Blue_UV_Reactive_Tubing_500712.h tml?tl=g30c99)
- Spring wrap for Tubing (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5484/koo-75/Koolance_38_10mm_ID_Tubing_Wrap_-_Black_SPR-10BK.html?tl=g30c99)

Case Color Modification: Possible case color modification to Gunmetal grey, but im still having thoughts on that.


Project Timeline: I imagine this will be a 3 to 4 month project as i want to slowly build it up. I have a couple of other things in mind that i want to do with the case. The case is huge so the amount of customization that can be done to it is unlimited. :yay:

lol yeah sorry i will answer your email when i get home.

Right now the system probably weighs about 40 to 45 pounds, due to the huge metal case with metal fins everywhere and a radiator the size of a car radiator. After the whole case mod set up, im looking at about 55 pounds. Not too worried about the weight, i wont be moving it much, its gonna nestle cozy in its new spot in the game room im renovating right now. Lan party case on its way. :yay:
