    Im sorry man, the mod looks great in the thumbnails but your full pictures are far far too big. I am on a 2mb line and I cant be bothered waiting for that to load. Anyone on 512k or 1mb would do the same, 56kers would pass out.

    What do you mean? I'm on a 4MB line, and It loads in +- 5 sec's... So theoretical it should load on yours in max 30 secs... If waiting half a minute is too long, what do you do while your PC boots?

    And ellipr97, sweet work :thumb:

    omfg would everyone stop f*cking B*tching about the picture load, geez, he gives a thumbnail, dont like the size of the thumbnail then shh and just wait for the picture to load, it pops up in a new window, read the rest of his post or play solitaire while it loads geez... :eyebrow: , and very nice mod my friend, im in agreement, you should put a fan below that rad, so its no taller, but so it looks sweet too, would drop ur temps a bit as well im sure, very nice :thumb:

    I love the design. Great little box. It is hard to say too many great things, but I really like it. Not to sound rude, just my own personal opinion, but it looks to me to be unfinished. What I mean is, the case and concept look so great together, but clear tubing looks, well, kinda unfinished. I think that if you were able to use either a crystal clear tube, to show off lighted liquid, or colored liquid, it would look finished. Or to hide the tubing with a sleeve, such as black mesh for wire loom, or metal silver screen, or even borrow a line from the orac case and use chrome plated flex hose from a shower head. Again,, I think it is an excellent job well done, and it may be very well possible that you cannot see the tubing unless crouching over very far, but to me the tubing looks kinda bland against the rest of the case, and it really caught my eye, when viewing the pics.

    (P.S. I opened all of the pictures at once, and had them all showing up within 20 secs of the first click. Comcast cable connection USA, TX)

    bah my 3Mb line loads em up in 3 seconds flat. Looks nice, and I'll second the comment on the water tubes, still, thumbs up for fitting all that in there :thumb:

    Perhaps some kind of rubber bung around those holes for the tubes to pass through'll make it look more finished.
