Taking shape

1 of the Xilence Red Wings outside the rear of the case, puling air out through the single rad inside.
The molex connector will just fit through one of those unused tubing grommets.








The 9800 GTX is not in place yet. When it is, at least one of those SATA connections will be taken out. Lucky there are 6.







Bit of contention for tubing space with the 2 rads being so close together. I tried mounting the single rad upside down, but the case prevents this.





I had to move the HDD cage up 3 drive bays to accommodate the Laing D5 pump, which will be velcroed to the base of the case, unless I feel like drilling some holes.







Most of the main components are in the case now, so I can measure accurately the hose lengths required.

Shows 2 of the 3 Xilence Red Wings that will be venting out the top of the case, through the triple rad inside the case below.

The case holes and rad holes do not line up. Of the 16 holes available, 2 are unusable because of this.

Either the mobo needs some spacers to raise it a bit, or the I/O cutout Asus provides does not match the I/O ports exactly. The keyboard/mouse PS2 port is unusable as things stand.

DVD drive in place. Just waiting for the reservoir to be returned to me from WatercoolingUK.

Also waiting for the RAM - OCZ 4GB DDR2 FlexII XLC PC2-9200. Nowhere in the UK seems to have any of this. Amazon Germany has some, but it is way expensive. OCZ say they will start shipping it 'soon' but they have no ETA.

Until I know I can get hold of some of this watercooled RAM, I can't finalise the cutting of the tubes.
