Notes

Anniversary present for my wife. This is what I envisioned at the beginning of the build and it came out perfectly. Features a TJ07 case with and Orange interior powder coat. EVGA Mobo and Vid Card. EK waterblocks, reservoir and radiator and a Heatkiller motherboard block. A combination of Enzo and Bitspower compression fittings and a Swiftech pump. I chose Primochill tubing and Feser coolant. It is a single loop design. Coolant flows from the pump to the video card, from there to the mb, CPU, RAM. Then to the resevoir, radiator and back to the pump. It is extremely efficient in it's cooling efforts. I can over clock the CPU to 4.5 Ghz with no change in temp. Idle temps are, CPU 30 - 34 (up to 4Ghz), VGA 28 - 32, VREG 30 - 33, System temp stays at about 42. The couple of mods I added to this was an illuminated center tray covered in White acrylic. An LED mod using the slot loading DVD bay attachment (ala Knight Rider) and dedicated drain and fill ports. The video cards backplate "EK" logo glows(White) via an EL panel and altered 12v inverter. The goal was a completely water cooled set up with a minimalistic design. I also wanted to hide as much wiring as possible. I will be working on a version for myself in the near future. Same case but in black, chrome fittings and blood red powder coat and coolant. Stay tuned. You can see more pics and the thread in the ModRigs section of the EVGA forums. MORE PICTURES OF THE LIGHTING TO COME!

Well zophar, all she does is Farmville ATM. Going to get her into some L4D2. As long as it's going towards them (the wife) they don't care how much you spend. ;) Thanks for the comment. :)

+1 for you. I wish #1 my wife liked computers, and #2 would let me build her something that cool. Beautiful build.

Thanks for the comment guys. I truly appreciate it. I think my problem will be getting her away from it. ;)

I generally am not a fan of water cooling, but when someone puts water on his or her ram it earns some serious respect from me. This is sick bro.
