Nice build !!!

Ok guys, finally managed to upload some pics....just a few.

Sorry there really isn't any order to them, it's just a random assortment. I tried to show the difference between the two Koolance displays, and it came out ok, but there is a real difference in person. The RP-1250 uses an OLED display, and it's MUCH nicer than the dot matrix of the CTR-CD12. I would imagine Koolance will likely make the move to OLED on that model as well. They certainly don't match...might make me pull the plug and get the Aquero XT!

Also, I still have the Fesser fluid in my CPU loop, while the GPU loop has the Koolance. You might be able to see the difference in the pics, but again, it really shows in person. The Koolance can appear a little pinkish in comparison, and doesn't let the light through as easily as the Fesser.

I added some LEDs to the Koolance bay reservoir and it makes a big difference and doesn't appear as 'green' as it did. I still nneed to drain it, and clean the res when I finally fix the spot in the CPU loop that has been bugging me. Not sure when I'll get time to do it, but it might be a little while. I'm sure I'll need a couple fittings to make it happen. I've still gotta do plenty with the cable routing on the backside too....needs lotsa work.

In the meantime, if anybody has any questions or a specific shot taken lemme know!

Oh yeah, the pics of the GPU taken apart show the crap job done by EVGA with the paste. The other card was perfect, but this one looked like somebody applied it with a tablespoon......wasn't impressed to say the least.

I love the look on the dogs face. Very similar to the look I had on my face when viewing those pics and thinking "mother of god!".

[DazMode]

So much pron!

PLus weim at teh end I'm falling off the chair!

hahaha......maybe when the next gen comes out I can justify grabbing one. I'm running a surround setup, so they do get a good workout, but this rig does what I want it to do right now...if (and when) it starts bogging down, maybe.

But yeah, it has crossed my mind!

[Hooded]

WOW thats some nice hardware in a super case, looking like pro install from here.

The first pic shows the two fluids? I'm surprised at how solid a color the Koolance looks. I thought it was supposed to be more translucent

Oh maybe i got confused with another build :s. well 2 7970 should pwn plenty of games. crysis 3 should be run on ultra setting with a single monitor setup

[scaccima]

Wicked rig jrees!!!!! I'm red with envy!!

[Father Fuzzy]

Great job jrees
fantastic foto's
really sweet looking rig
dual 680's ......WoW

7970s? NO WAY! I'm an Nvidia guy. Those are dual 680 FTW 4GB cards.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. When I get around the CPU loop fixed up, and the cabling all sorted I'll give the case a good cleaning and take some finished shots. I'll might just have break out the tripod and the shutter release for those ones.

While I'm here, what do you guys suggest for additional case lighting? Any brands to look for/stay away from? I'm pretty certain I don't want UV. Ultimately I just want something clean looking.

Thanks guys!
