Okay folks, here is my first project log so go easy on me. I've been reading countless mods from [H] and Bit-tech.

Project: Liquidmod - discussion update 5th March Here is the link http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=107648 All comments and suggestions are welcome. Just updated my worklog today.
Nice hardware, nice case, should turn out quite well. But do you mind resizing the pictures, some people are still on dialup (me for this week). And im not much of a final fantasy fan, but that window is awesome.
That paint job doesnt looks so good, it's not smooth like it should. And that polishing doesnt look so good either, you need to sand it with different grits. like p400-600/800-1200 and metal polish in the end make shure to clean it when you are finish with sanding
ditch that aquacomputer flow meter & res(unless the res is bored out) its highly restrictive and will be like trying to push a elephant through a drain pipe you will bascily be killing all your flow in the loop to the point that you could spit faster down the pipe. (if thats a storm g4/swiftek storm block which i see that will only benfit from highflow). get a swisflow 800 thats a big bore flow meter and use the res that comes with it or get a fass-o-matic
Boring out the flow meter will do jack sh*t... tbh, its still going to be like a 6mm inlet, on 12mm tubing =/ and theres the fact your going to be feeding you pump through a 6mm inlet as well at least bore out the res for 1/4" barbs, if you leave it its going to render all that high perfomance stuff absolutly useless. why do you need a flow meter anyway ? its not like that pump is silent heh
I'll take the temp measurement with the aquatube and flowmeter installed and without to see if there is a major difference.
here is picture of the plexi I ordered from voyeurmods as well. I deceided to stack the blue plexi on top of the original one.
Nice block, i want it lots, it'll be in my next mod as it stands now. Its the best high production block on the market.
should be a nice looking looking fast pc at the end of it all. What lighting are you gunna use to get the best out of the window.
Ditch the AC flowmeter, it sucks. Get a Swissflow SF800 instead. I've got one of those myself (I got it for free from Swissflow to 'test' it). Haven't used it yet but I'm sure it's much less restrictive (even when you bore out the AC flowmeter) and also much more accurate.
