At the start of this build there was very little in the retail case department to accommodate the EVGA SR-2 motherboard due to its unconventional size so it was clear from the get-go that not only was a larger case and motherboard tray needed to mount the board but also it was going to need some serious cooling so additional space was needed to mount the cooling hardware. The plan was to literally chop the top off a Coolermaster ATCs 840 and stack it on top of another which would give it approx. 5" (or three drive bays) extra height which could be used to store two 480 radiators, hence the name ATCs 840 STACKER. Also, high on the agenda was to make the three quite complicated watercooling loops look effortless and easy on the eye. My main aim was to regain the basic look of the 840 so a second look would be needed to work out just what was going on and an overall factory finish would be a must throughout The system was recently on display on the Coolermaster booth at CeBIT and as it was only complete hours before, everything is set at stock settings but now its back home i should have more time to get things clocked. There is a full work log on the EVGA forums http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=527713 Thanks for looking:))

Very nice upgrades with the PSU and 680's. Wish I still had my SR-2, I miss it dearly.
