It's an AMD64 3500 with 1gb PC3500 of OCZ memory and an ATI X800XT PE, and there's currently no overclocking happening. I get about 37C idle and 41C under load (but this is the bios temp, so it's not to be trusted).

The primary goal was to get rid of the fan noise. There is no "bling".

Water flow is pump-->gpu-->cpu-->rad-->pump. I think it would have been more efficient as far as tube routing to go pump-->cpu-->gpu-->rad-->pump, put the t-line fitting closer to the pump, and remove the drain line on the other side. I could also have solved the tub-induced torque on the video card by putting inline 90-degree elbows on the gpu block, but I was trying to avoid putting to many 90's in the line.

By changing all the tubing issues, I could avoid spending even more money on a case that wouldn't really buy me much.

How much Purple should I have added to the water? I only put in a few ounces.
