    Thanks, I'm looking forward to haveing the money to put down on the pumps : )

    Thanks. It's hard to be origional in the VSeries family since so much has been done already. I really am trying to stand out from the crowd if I can. Maybe you could teach me how to airbrush as well. I'm good at etching but this case begs for an airbrushed picture.

    WOW - Love all the lighting you have!!!! Those reserviors are fantastic - is the angled aluminium for the CPU fan bracket? Maybe around the radiator?

    Anyways, keep 'em coming

    I forgot to ask the specs. DB CFM and price of those fans they are sweet where di dyou get them?

    Hmm well then your dual pump brackets? I can't even think make an update stat. I was also looking into BFG NVidia Cards and their 7800 GTX OC was incredible at over $1000 so. I think I will be looking at some of the cheaper models. O well thats my sidetrack this should look really good. Fans are a little on the loud side but for 77.26 CFM you cant complain. Ughh I can't make up my mind to make a case.

    They're like 3 bucks a piece on newegg and they come in all colors. Ohh and the 7900gt is better than the 7800gtx and only runs about $200 on ebay. It's probably what I'm getting.

    After work I decided to finish the radiator mount since I had finished the ring/mount the night before and I really wanted to test out some lighting. Sorry no progress pics this time because I was tired and in a hurry.

    [​IMG]
    Installed!

    Lights out!
    [​IMG]

    You can kinda see how the light difracts through the ring. The effect is amazeing in person. You'll just have to trust me.

    The blue is definately staying as I think it mixe well with the red and i screams HGL. I love how the red is glowing everywhere. It's exactly the effect I wanted and I'm just tickled that it worked.

    Well thats it for now. I'm working on the bay stealthing but it's crap right now so it may get ditched. Tell me what you think about the lighting (another three fans to be added in the bottom.)

    Its pretty much perfect to me. The lights arent to blareing yet they attract all the attention in the room. It'll be nice at a lan party to have a red glow around me while i frag it up on CS:S (Or HGL which is prolly not going to be a frag fest.)

    Nope but it will be much to bright in the case for it t work anyways. For uv you need to have a very dark case with very bright accents.
