Okay, here are some pictures of the system at the moment. Still finishing off the modifications to the cage, which is pictured in primer awating a coat of flat black.

System is shown without pipes, but it's easy to see the manifolds and the holes where the pipes will enter into the part of the case where the mobo lives.

Pump isn't fully fastened in yet-which will sit on a soft foam block to prevent vibrations resonating through the cage.

Chipset cooler isn't fitted on mobo yet (want to test the board before I modify it!) but I've placed a picture of the waterblock.

Fan shroud under construction (twin 90mm with PWM control).

Processor held on with own design clamp. Designed to help prevent overtightening, hence no crushed cores!

Geforce GPU block held on with four small 8BA bolts with insulated washers.

Voodoo 2 card blocks glued on with a very thin film of 5 minute epoxy- nothing fancy like Arctic Silver (waste of money IMHO).

Radiator mounted at an angle to help natural convection of heat through radiator.

Modified transit heater core, copper and brass construction, self built header tank from copper, soft soldered onto the end.

Cheers

Andy
