    Only problem is that its the waterchill kit and the res is attached to the pump, suppose I could make a bracket or remove the res and run a tube to it, only just got the thing - dont want to bugger it upalready.

    Then you'll have to be careful about taking out bubles for they make your water circuit sound and be less efficient cooling.

    EDIT:I looked up for the kit at overclockers.com and it seems easy to put a longer hose for the reservoir.

    Now that I have ordered up the GPU waterblock it has given me the opertunity of removing the window fan.

    So the plan for the next part is to redo the side window (minus the fan) and repostion the LCD to the front top panel.

    Also whilst I'm at it I might place a small plexi piece behind the -::Y:- and light it with the power and hdd LED's.


    Also now thinking about moving the res

    Theres a second HDD caddy above the radiator.


    And the fans are sitting here doing nothing, removed them completely.

    Still waiting on the GPU water-block - damn

    ah cool. I also want to cut out the front two and center them but was having a hard time to figure out where to place the hard drive.

    Lookin' sweet Yoda. :thumb:
    That was the kind of front panel approach I had in mind when I started my Dragon.

    Heh, just you wait till you've got that GPU block in, you'll be like me -
    "Damn, what's that noise? Gah! It's the ........." <- insert next component
    Rinse, repeat... ;)

    I'm at the stage where I can almost hear the ICs whistling! :lol:

    That mesh really looks excellent :thumb:

    soo many watercooling projects makes me want to splash around again! but normal watercooling has pretty much become the norm, i'll have to think of something more exciting :)

    Never bothered with a floppy or zip in this rig, just dont need them.
    If I ever have to I can boot from the XP CD, and I can flash my BIOS from within windows :D

    Dont know if watercooling has became the norm just yet, try telling someone outside the modding/overclocking community about W/C and they just look at you funny.

    Already thinking about how a different res would look, but that can wait for a wee while.

    Know what you mean about the noise, you start to hear almost inaudible sounds and think, I must get that a bit quieter, makes you wonder how you put up with a screaming 60mm CPU fan.

    And Pug you have no idea how close I came to using your idea for the front grill, I even had the mesh in my hand in Homebase before putting it back on the shelf. :thumb:
