    You might want to increase the DOF on some of your shots.

    But this is a promising log and great pictures :D

    This looks great so far.
    I love where you put the Rad.
    I might have to do something like that if I ever do watercooling.

    It have been very tricky last weeks, problems with friends and other things. So it have been pretty hard. But last friday i tried to do an order from EK but it didnt work out. I have problems with paying over paypal, but i hope i can fix it soon.
