So yeah. That's what I did yesterday. Satisfying, but now I'm knackered and my knees and hands hurt... those coils are a pain to fit. It's been worth the wait though, cpu's sitting at 30/31 degrees at 3.2GHz and the noisiest things on it are the fans on the rad - if you have a fan controller going cheap gimme a shout ;)
Oh, as an aside - http://www.over-clock.co.uk are a wakefield based company and are incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
No leaks then? :)
I know who to come to now for help setting up my stuff once it arrives :P
nice one tho man, time to tidy those cables a little now though :)
Yeah there's a few tweaks yet to do... fan controller and grille for the radiator holes, cable tidying, I also need to butcher a kettle lead and put the relay in for the pump cos at the moment it's just plugged in separately and on all the time (maplins on the way home for spade connectors I think). It's still a work in progress, but a lot more finished than it was.

Wouldn't you want the PSU and HDDs *above* the water system rather than below it?
Ideally, sure... but I really didn't fancy chopping those hard drive mounts out of there so I could get the rad in, and cos there's 5 drives in that rig there wasn't room for them anywhere else.

Looking good man. See how it goes then i maybe tempted to get some water cooling in my system. See what me new fans are like first :) Could do with better northbridge coolers now i got my P5N32-E SLI Plus (load of ****e) motherboard working again.
how loud are those sharkoon fans ? are they the dimpled ones ?

Just a quick tip for watercooler people. buy some false teeth cleaning tablets as they kill the funky stuff that grows in the water.
My set up is water based with anti-freeze added but stuff still grows until i add half a tablet of Steradent.

I've got one of those. Really does not like heat, does it? Or, ironically, nVidia graphics cards....

it really doesnt. mines been out of action for 3 weeks. going to have a look for something new as soon as i got some money. nvidia doesnt look to good a option in my book now :(
A little Dremel is a dangerous thing...
Speaking of which, I think nic put a vapourchiller in his. Not to be one-upped, I have a plan. Im gonna immerse my lappy in mineral oil and outcool the lot of ya! just gotta empty the fryer.
