I have 2 papst 120mm 2 panaflo 120mm 2 enermax 120mm and the silenx's that i use on the pc the difference is unbilievable. So i thing if you use fans like that with a lower noise pamp like aquaxtreme you can have best cooling with best noise
Dont forget that i live in Greece Athens witch room temps can be at summer 32 t0 40c :)

Just thought I'd update this as The Beast II has undergone a revision. RD-30 Iwaki 24v pump which in turn means about 4 feet less tubing and a reduction of about 3 knarly bends. I finally got the G5 installed too. New Mobo DFI 875P-T and a 560J (3.6) CPU socket 775.

A thing of beauty is a joy to behold

Now that's a whole different story from what it used to be. Beautiful! Still crowded but beautiful.

the right tool for the right job
slick

Thanks guys, I finally got off my lazy ass and did the revision (about 2 weeks ago). allnighter it is crowded on the drive side of the case, it has to be as I have 4 HD's, 2 PSU's a pump and 5 5.25" bays filled. I still have room for 2 more HD's though. I wanted the mobo side bare and clutter free to keep it as cool as possible. The 15 fans help :D

He he, I know what you're talking about. I got 5 hd's & 2 optical myself plus the the other usual stuff. I understand crowded believe me. And my case is just a simple Antec server case. All my wc stuff is in the radbox because of that. But you did a great job with yours. I love it. And 15 fans! Omg! :) I was toying with the idea of reducing my 3 80mm hd fans down to one 120mm! Now I fell a lot better about the way the things currently are. :D

Still using push/pull for the BIP3? If so, why?

120.3 not bip3 and the question is not why but why not? I can run them at about 4v and have quiet, 7v for med. quiet or 12v for balls to the walls. I like push pull even though the gains are minimal. If there are gains at all, good enough for me.

Excellent system upgrades nik, love the OC on that! Is the meanwell PS for the Iwaki pump?

Thanks, yes the Meanwell is for the pump... I could have gotten something much smaller, probably a 150W or perhaps a 125w unit that is much smaller, but the RD spec sheet calls for 10A on startup :shrug: I bet it would start with 3A...

as they say, size DOES matter :D i love that rig man.
