    Ok..A little introduction if i may..Basically, the goal is to watercool the case all internal without ruining the case's simple and minimalistic design. Yet maintaining a cool and quite system. The system will be overclocked to its highest stable clock(3.4ghz) on stock vcore.

    So i present Project[Thessa] < named after my love of my life. ;-)

    Loop 1: Ek Res 250> MCP655>TC PA120.3> Q6600> NB> SB (EVGA 680i)
    Loop 2: Ek Res 150> MCP655> BIX II 240 > 2 x EVGA 8800gts 512mb (Will Be changed later to BIX II 360)

    Pics! :)

    Nice job!

    I almost went with that case and even did a bunch of concept design for the mod, but LiLi just didn't get it streeted in time. Nice case regardless! I was going to put two PA 120.3's in it though.

    very nice, one thing though, why are you not pushing the the vcore high as possibly with all that elite watercooling gear?

    It looks like the tube in between GFX cards has flattened itself. Otherwise you are putting some great components into this mod.

    Personally, I'd be clapping that there isn't a fully naked man in the picture.
