I like the way you have the HD's turned. Is that normal for that case?? Looks like you have it wired up real good. Good Job...

It came that way ; ) Was one of the things that sold me on it. The wiring isnt quite finished, just bought some more Spiral-cut tubing today, so I can clean up the PS wires up top. Helps to be an electrician when it comes to the wiring part ; )

Thx!

I love it. Just like my winter mod if only I had a window AC unit. Very decent OC as well. Can you max it out higher than that?

Yep, you can have the nicest case and all the right parts, but if it looks like a rats nest when it's done, it will still look like crap hehe.

Thx!

Thx! Ya know this air/con only costs $200.00, I bet there’s lots of people out there that have spent a lot more on their water cooled setups, and I'm running at a cool 21*c ; ) And the best part is, during winter when I take the air/con out of the window, I'll just put the duct outside and pick up nice cool 40 to 30*f air ; ) That's about the temp of the air currently coming out of the air/con.

What kinda temps do people get with a good water cooled rig?

Last night I had it running at 2600 MHz (13x200), everything was fine except 3DMark2001 would crash back to the desktop during the high detail part of Lobby. I don't know if I should try a higher multiplier, and lower the buss, which I really don’t want to do ( I like the fast buss) Or may try less aggressive memory timings? But what really I think it needs is more volts at the core, but 1.85v is all ya get on this Mobo ; (
