    Hello, thought id share my latest creation. I was too lazy to make a project log unfortunately :lol:
    Bought the G5 case online after looking at some of the amazing G5 project logs here :p Love the case design.

    It's my first major (somewhat completed) mod. Also my first water cooling job. It is a bit messy, no where near perfect.
    Here's some pics:

    Specs are in my Sig.
    Definitely could use a bit more cable tidying.

    Opinions?

    Looks good. I want to see the back of the case though.

    The back is a bit unfinished. I've got a aluminum cover that goes around that hole and covers all the ugly cuts. It's actually a part of the motherboard tray that i cannibalized from an old chieftec case.

    The 9800GX2 graphic card should run waterblock. That made better much looking.

    Agreed. I just got the watercooling kit though. Looked into waterblocks for the card and they're pretty expensive. May buy one at some point. If i can find a good deal.
