    Those concepts look good, both of them.
    I like the cooling solution Dark~3nergy has made, even though I don't understand how it will work :D
    And for some reason the start Editor22 have made strikes a cord, I like it. The placement of the reservoirs makes me think of a submarine or some other aquatic vessel.

    -Custom DDC pump top. It's far from perfect, but if you squint, it's awesome. (Barbs and tubing not included.)

    I will be supplying the mounting screws and poorly made grommets only. You have to find your own barbs.:p

    Ugh. I'm a total noob at SU and I've had to start my project over 3 times due to my inability to do what I want without it becoming a mess of structures for lack of a better word.

    I'll keep trying in between my studies and hopefully have something to submit before the deadline :)


    Cheap, been following your log and that's awesome you're adding that to the prize list.

    Dark, love your creation, looking forward to seeing the final product!

    Why did this have to coincide with the start of uni!! I might have enough free time to come up with something, however my ideas are so complicated, I can't see enough time to model them.

    Great start made by many, will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure!

    A new picture of a somewhat improved look inside the case. Everything that should be bolted is bolted together, and I made a little cover for the RAM waterblock, complete with a possible WIP logo for the project!

    Heh, I like that. Are you going to keep it white and blue, or is there a color change coming?

    Great design dark! I had jotted some ideas down that also seperated the GPU's from the MB etc. As this is a design competition, why not? Long enough flexible risers could be made.

    Looking good Editor. I'm liking the clean lines of both designs here.

    thanks :)

    the colour is not going to be like that at all, it looks very bright because it's not rendered. it's much darker and deeper. though I might use purple or red, don't know yet

    -Oil submerged rig full of awesome.:D
    The tubing layout is confusing me, Dark. What's the flow path?
    @Editor - You are going in the right direction.:thumb:

    @John - Yeah, I want one of those.:D I'd name it George and take it with me everywhere.
    @Dark - I was trying to make venturi (plural?) like you see on recoilless cannons. It looks odd on a giant revolver.:hehe:
