Anyway here's some pic's so far

some pics for you to look at

The coolercase grill (superb grill - the best on the market imo)
And a pic of the Black Ice Extreme (BIX) 120.2 rad with 2x Sythe 1600rpm Ultra Quiet, that's covered by that grill

I was going to use the D-Tek Fuzion v1, and as i was tryiing to have as much black as possible i sprayed the Fuzions mounting plate. Here's a pic ........

And some more pics

More pic's.................

just waiting for a funel that will fit in the Fillport. So here are some more pic's in the mean time....

I'll add some more pic's later on. If i have time later i'm going to get the loop filled, as my new copy of Vista SP1 has arrived

You can see my favourite bit of kit in the first two pic's - mCubed BigNG. And thanks to the Akasa's front PCI slot i can hide it away, and it's mid way between the top and bottom rads.
You can also see that superb Coolercase.co.uk rad grill - Thanks to Paul :)
Here's a few more pic's.....

Excellent photos lloyd.

Thanks mate :up:
I lost the AC adapter for my camera so i'm having to borrow my mum's Sony DSC-P150 7.2mp. It's acually a very good little camera.

Yes very sharp and detailed....think i need a new one...just got a canon ixos 40.

gonna add some pic's tomorrow when i have my camera back :)
I just changed the fluid - looks good though

what colour?

I went ACID Green UV
I want to do a purple and black scheme soon - maybe for an i7 when i have the chance

Purple and black...nice....didnt the guy who done project dark water do that?

Edit...well purple pink and black....looks the dogs......... http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=155685

Yeah i saw that on XtremeSystems - looked great, especially how he did the compartments.

Yes....i need some black acrylic for some cable tidy mods....not gonna be as extreme as his tho.
Where would i be able to buy this....not online tho.....what kind of shop?

here we go, sorry it took longer than i thought........

Please excuse dust :D

Very nice mate :D

Very nice mate, awesome as always.

Excellent Lloyd...:up2:

Gonna rebuild this PC into another Coolermaster CM-690 II soon.
I plan to use my Q9550 (rig 1) and the Rampage Extreme and a DX 11 GFX card.
I will just watercool the CPU and the GFX card this time :up:

I have retired this PC to my living room, as I am replacing it in my PC Room/Office with the old parts from my main rig in a CM 690 II Advanced.
I'll post some pictures later.

Since it's now in my living room I thought I would add a couple of 8cm uv strips..
