    Your parents would make you live in it..lol

    as for the rad you could put a ball valve in for draining down.

    Was looking at adding a ball vale to bottom of rad but it just has them small tubes and each one is a 180 back in so it would not be a easy job to do . Other problem is very happy with the size of it and it should make the pc almost require no fans it just dont look CUSTOM it will have to do for now but at some point some other idea needs to be installed.

    That is the whole reason for this case if something needs changed down the road easy to do just undo some screws and move it.

    Was thinking of almost making one but cost would be way out of line for now. Lets just roll with this for now . Working on installing the 2 valves on it now but cant find the FLUX so need to pick some up.

    KVM sellers dreams here for sure. Holy buckets that's a lot of monitors. A couple more and it will look like David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth!

    Hey....Thanks for the comment on my case.

    I see you have discovered the wonders of 80/20 ;-P. That stuff is awesome for people like me who don't custom cut everything.

    I like the snowy landscape you've got going on around your house.

    Hey...turn the Rad upside down and use hydraulic quick disconnects like mine. When you want to drain...simply disconnect the QDC's and your golden. Thats why I designed mine the way I did.

    Yep it is so handy to move and change and want a custom case but also want movement if need be to change things.

    Cant wait to see yours full of OIL that is going to be SWEET !

    Was thinking of running it upside down also but would air stay in rad ? That was reason for right side up for now . First water cooling that have done so looking to keep leaks to 0 or lets hope so. Cause this thing holds a gal of coolant and that would be a MESS.

    That Rad just needs to have a valve installed one on top and one on bottom then when time to drain just open bottom one no moving the case or anything will have to check around and see if it can be done.

    Dear God. Or, as brits would say: Oh my...

    This is so weird. Soooo weird that my hand automatically went to the REPLY button and wrote this. My mind had nothing to do with this. It's all on auto pilot, so I guess I'm forced to follow this one.

    Rube Goldberg Water Machine

    The gauntlet has been thrown down...you must put one into your machine.

    Assuming that your going to put the PCs from the shelves into the enourmous case? Why not buy a rack, a few cases, KVM and switch?

    Far easier better looking but then again I'm all for building your own!
