    Thanks Boscoe. The Nec was bought through Dabs.ie
    http://www.dabs.ie/products/nec-mul...ms-dvi-d-vga-lcd-monitor---speakers-6ZVQ.html

    if your in the UK you might wanna check the .com site they have do for pound prices. Its not cheap but worth it :)

    Just incase you where actually referring to the lil 7" monitor that gonna be built in i got that straight from Lilliput UK through their online store. http://www.carcomputer.co.uk/

    Update 08/11/2010

    Hay All,

    Sorry for the lack of updates recently, exams and waiting on RMA are to blame. Got a new waterblock in to replace the one that was causing problems. decided to go with a differant block as replacement. and have to say i am very satisfied.

    The final build is taking place and finishing touches are in sight. some shots to keep you entertained a little. I'm not 100% happy with the position of the flow meters and how look ther but i wanted to get the rig up a running, they will probably be moved.

    Overall the system is a monster do. 89 cm tall with 4 compartments, have yet to weigh it but it aint light thats for sure....

    Still have to cut a window in side panel showing just the main compartment, Needs a cable management too. Will be posting more shots when its finally done although the last pic does give alot away.

    Let me know what you guys all think. This is my first high end watercooling build so and am still only learning but as always comments are welcome.


    Cheers

    Thanks Mate,
    Should'ave gone with the HF from the start eh but sure what can one do.


    The System is now overclocked to 4ghz stable with 100% load temp at 66C which isnt bad, GPUs are currently being worked on but as we all know the GTX460's love to be oc'd so should be some nice figures coming in soon.

    Finishing the project bits has been very very slow as collage has taken over any free time i have with projects and exams but hope to have this finished by christmas. Will keep ye posted.

    As aways please leave comments.

    Cheers

    Final Update 08/01/2011

    Hay Guys,

    Long time no post, its been mental over christmas and new years and also finally got my exams finished yesterday so all gravy. Wanna post the last few "money shots" of the rig as it stands finished. Made a few ammendments since last post too. I kicked out the 2 Koolance Flow meters and the Koolance Tms 200 controller and all its additions. its problerms were outweighing its advatages. The controller has been replaced with a mCubed mini NG for the pumps and a Lian Li 6 channel fan controller. In the end its alot nicer to just be able to simply ajust a knob and the fans or pumps do there thing rather than a software ajustment. Installed a slot loader too just for fun, have always wanted one in a desktop rig for some reason so just went ahead and got one.
    The main change you guys will see is the window which is just right and makes tiding up the main compartment worth all the effort and i feel looks great. the other is the alu grill in the front instead of the mini 7" lilliput usb screen. Where i loved the idea of it, the drivers were giving me loads of grief and causing my main screen to blue screen whenever i was gaming, maybe it didnt like the sli set up even do i tested it under various curcumstances and in the end it got the better of me. Dont think the mesh in the front looks outta place either but might make an ajustment or 2 to it yet.

    The Last pic is with my new itx system, no mods done to it, just a tasty Lian li Q09 case, hope to be turning this into an mini ftp server too.

    Wanna say thanks to all you guys for looking and for support with problems and probably inspiration too with all of your own projects on here. I know these arnt really "money shots" too but least you can see how it turned out.

    Ha ha, well put. :)

    Thanks Mate, glad you approve. Drivers of the mini usb monitor where conflicting with a whole load of things and my main screen started blue screening, usually when i was gaiming when the games went to full screen mode. So it had to go i'm afraid.

    Yeah it defo makes a statement in my sitting room.. people walk in an they are like... holy **** :D

    Yep but size doesnt matter right... (DOh..the only people that say that are the ones that really hope it doesnt when of coarse it does. :wallbash: )

    Thank you good Sir. Am very happy with how it turned out.

    Cheers GUys
