these are from when it first got built. Then it had a Ahanix watercooling kit (JUNK!!!), now its custom. 350GPH pump, no ressy im using a t-line, and a heater core posing as a rad from a 76 chevy C10 pickup.
Also i had the kd7a mobo then, now i have a NF7 version 2. 512MB DDR pc3200 and a FX5900....very cozy. Since ive also painted the case and cd burner a little, added a fan to the top. Sorry the lights dont show up well with the flash and all.
Dexcool and Water Wetter work rlly well for cooling : ).

I also bought a LCD cause it saves tons of space. I can put all my speakers up with no problem. Now my monitor is in front of me, except being off to the left at and awkward angle. My neck would hurt for hours after not using the computer.
I would look at a KDS monitor Phins. Super nice, and not too shabby on the wallet.

I've never really liked the water cooling, something about running liquid near and around my costly components that makes me nervous.
I had some cooling issues when I first slapped in the 4 ultra 160 SCSI drives, but I bought a Lian Li case and everything has been fine since.

u know phins, i said the same thing. Then came time to build it and knowing im going to o/c it....lets just say i did alot of reading and some research, decided to give it a go. As long as you monitor it every morning/night, its fine. It runs 24/7, been up about a month, no problems. Once a month i shut it down, flush it with its own pump and some super flush. Let it set for a few hours, and give it fresh dexcool : )

hehe, i have. I lowered my temps simply by fixing all those nasty wires. I tucked everything into the mobo try and sleeved my PSU : )
Besdies, if the WC'n ever needed some help all 4 of the 120MM heater core fans are wired into that Hardcano 10 (the panel under the cd burner with the little dials.). one turn of those dials and the fans fire up so loud you'd think your in the mazda wind tunnel.
