Looks very nice, that case is monsterous!!! What are you planning to cool with that thing?? Hopefully some type of Athlon SMP rig over 2GHz. Let us know how that shapes up.

Wow, that is a very nice setup, humongous case.
I've got that fan in a 12v version. Sitting at home waiting for a project.

Thanks BG...The fan is awesome in terms of performance (300 CFM)...quite loud at 50db though. I have installed an A/C fan controller which has dampened the sound quite effectively

Looks great! I like the reservoir and radiator!

looks great! Love the tube resovoir design.

One question... are you sure you mean Clear PVC? Clear PVC is neither hard to find not expensive ($0.50/ft)

The specs for the reservoir are 2.5" diameter, schedule 80 PVC pipe. Available at McMaster Carr for $86.28 for an 8' minimum order. I purchased through Harvel plastics for $5.60/foot (10" minimum). The fittings are 2.5" diameter couplings at a cost of $16.25 each. I ended up with a 24" reservoir that cost me about $95.00 with shipping.

PVC tubing is different and available at .50/foot
