    Are you sure about the dual DDC ultra pumps? I've got some bad experience with the original DDC.. I'd take one or two MCP655's instead.
    IMHO..
    Very nice case btw :) Would love to have one of those myself, but it looks like that's never going to happen as they are impossible to find.
    Looking forward to see this turn out :D

    I've had two Delphi DDC with the known startup bug. If I turn them on (give power), they wouldn't start pumping. I had to take a screwdriver or something similar to hit them with in order to get them working. I've now switched to an AquaComputer Aquastream (modified Eheim 1046).
    If you don't have the same problem I think the pumps will be fine. Good luck ;)

    Ive got a Danger Den DDC (pretty much identical to all the others described) running with 1/2" out lets, using the top inlet point on a plexi-top, and it runns perfectally all day.

    Love the case, nice mod too ;). So looks like you have one of the very first watercooled physics cards.

    I want this case aswell.The only bad thing about it is that there are only 3 5,25" slots and NO 3,5 ones.Also it would be a bit more taller so it can stand really massive(not a limo) and a black paint,but if it was like that this was going to be the perfect case. :sigh:
    Are you going to make a new face plate or leave it like that?With a black smoked plexi you can do very good job.
    Also if there is a place below the mobo the rad would sit there better imo,just like you Black hazard 2 mod.And you can cover the place where its hanged now with black plexi and let the tubing and cables run through holes in it.Its a hard work doing whole self-made pexi front panels but the result is stunning.

    I mean there are only 3x 5,25 external bays.And i need around 5 and 1x 3,5.
    That black grill doesnt stand very good there imo.If you cover the grill with hand and leave the fass-o-matics it looks really really cool.Maybe its just the black grill.
    Really freakin' nice
    I beg you do something with the front panel.

    I cant wait :rock:

    well i dint like the placing of the res's with the grill covering the second so i remounted them this morning and moved the aquero down to the bottem slot. as for the grill it was the only one i had lying about. im going to get the silver aquacomputer version. :)

    The remounted fass's (the one on the right is full of water and in use in the pic)
