I'll post mine later. My Dell 4300 isnt much to look at, but my Custom is. On your case, Great Job! It looks very "clean" on the inside, and who cant admire the window on the side!
Dell 4600. I guess, when looking at Alienware, good customs, etc. my computer gets what could only be compared to penis envy.
Water cooling eh..
Anyway, here's my server sized computer:

That is the type of case I have been hunting for...shame I can't find any around. It would be perfect for my set-up!
@Incinerate: The tubing is 1/2" ID (inner diamater). I couldn't find any waterblocks that would fit my parts that had a smaller diameter requirement...they'd look better if I can find a way to hide the Modstream cables - they are grossly un-bendable...
You can make a case out of anything and it will workOriginally Posted by Shuriken
I agree with that, I think they put watercooling tubes out side of it to make it UV active, I wish they can do what Ultra did with their cable thogh. Oh well, thats the only thing I don't like about Modstream. But then again they don't look bad at all so I really don't mind if its a little exposed. I don't have that many components in my computer though.Originally Posted by OTZ

Well I can tell you the Modstream tubing sure ain't the same material my watercooling tubes are. The WC stuff is extremely flexible.
Ah well...I shouldn't complain - the Modstream does make for a clean looking set-up.
Nice see through powersupplyCan I get some specs?

I have the exact same PSU still sitting in its box...never got a chance to use it...500W no name - but I think they powered a lot of the older alienware PCs. The bonus was the fact that the 20pin cable came pre-sleeved.
Not really. The chances of something happening are probably no worse than if I were to air cool everything. As long as everything is sealed properly you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I've had no problems in the past 3 years.
Water - for a couple of reasons. The silence is golden! And the cooling effect of a water based system is much more efficient than anything air can do...
Water is great, but just a little more than air. I personally prefer Air, and dont go on to water until my PC is a year or two old.
When Corsair's $200 phase changing unit come out, if it ever does, I might just get it. If not, then I'm going to switch to water cooling my self, its just much more efficent than air cooling.
And PyrrhusIV, wheres your comp?! The more the better
