Made the mods over a 30 hour period the last few nights--I thought I'd let you all see what I did to my rig....

The picture go backwards from the completed mod to a pile of acrylic and pipe fittings...

I started with an already modded rig in a Lian Li PC7A plus running aircooling with a CoolMax taurus Silent Power 450 PSU with a 140mm fan.

Through information and advice here on the forum and excellent technical reviews by Cathar, phaestus and others I put together a list for a single CPU loop.

Cooltechnia was my first stop for the highly reccomended pump and a Black Ice radiator I unfortunately punctured during trial assembly and was unable to incorporate. They got the goods to me in 4 days!

Below is a run down on the components inthe build and a host of pictures as well.:

G4 waterblock (Swiftech Storm from FrozenCPU), AquaXtreme50Z-DC12 on SounDown acoustic dampening mounting plate, auto transmission cooler from NAPA in acrylic shroud using Nexus Silent 120mm front intake, acrylic case panel/resevoir,exhaust vent, 80mm rear intake with acrylic ducts to cool Northbridge and RAM, plumbed with 1/2" tygon and coolsleeves, cooling a P4 3.0E on an ASUS P4P800SE running 2 gigs of Corsair DDR 400, 2 WD250 SATA 150 HDDs in RAID O residing in 5.25 CoolDrive3 bay inserts, and an ASUS QuieTrack DVD/CD ROM and a Memorex Dual layer DVD/CDRW with a an ATI AIW 9600 driving twin KDS 16ms 17" LCD monitors and a SoundBlaster Audigy2 platinum ex hitched to the synth, analaog Tascam portastudio and Yamaha 2.1 desktop speakers.

I am still burning in the AS5 so I am waiting a little while to overclock and bench the system for temps--right now folding and running prime 95 with "both" processors at 100% temps stay at 44 C for the CPUand 40C for the mobo. No doubt a more powerful fan would yield better results.

Questions and comments are welcome.
