Nice 900 Gamer Case, my cousin got one except he went AMD/ATI instead of Intel/Nvidia...

On the topic of water cooling, I'm thinking about changing my setup, I'm currently using one of these:

I'm either going to upgrade to this:

Or go external, but I'm not sure which I should choose...

For future referance, Koolance's water cooling stuff is shit. It is below shit, it is better left in the trash. Get this stuff instead:
Apogee GT ($50)
Swiftech Stealth Full Cover Block for Geforce 8 series cards ($110) (not completely necessary)
Swiftech MCP655-B Pump ($75)
Black Ice Pro II 2 x 120mm ($35)

And 10 feet of vinyl tubing for like $5-10. Then a 2 gallon jug of Distilled water and you should be good. Go for 1/2" tubing.

There you go, for about the same price you get superior cooling on your CPU and GPU that is all self contained within your computer. Hell, you could probably nix the Swiftech Stealth and spend your $100 on something else.

Yea, I'm not using my water cooling on my 8800 right now, just the processor, I'm not OC'ing my GPU yet, so I'm good on that end.

Btw, have you seen those self contained units that sit in a spare 5 1/2" bay? I've been looking for a good one...

You mean the integrated pump/reservoirs or the entire systems in-a-box? I'm sure that there are some good kits of those out there (besides the Koolance ones). I try to stay away from all-in-one systems though because the performance will almost never equal something like my setup. Especially once I throw my brand new 120 CFM Delta's onto my rad . Also, all in one systems usually have limited upgradability in terms of how many blocks you can put onto a loop, and when a part fails you have to send the whole unit in to get it fixed. With my loop I can just drain the loop, throw in one of my extra parts (I've gone through many water cooling loops =P) and RMA/replace the damaged part. Not to mention you can build a loop yourself for much much cheaper.

i see u have an 8800 gtx in a 900 case (@ a few posts above my last one), did u have to mod your case? and semi off topoic, but will a 500 watt neo HE run an 8800 gtx? rest of my set up the same. (check specs)

oh and some water cooling pacages are decent, they just gotst a shiney penny.

You can beat that watercooling system with an air cooler...

And the PSU, not sure. It could work, if the PSU has enough power on the 12v rail.

edit- It will more then likely work..

Nothing special here:


But I don't mind, I don't see the point in having neons in the side of a case that's going to sit on the floor. I would go through labelling everything, but I don't think you'd be able to see the picture if I did. :d

Heh, you've done a better job at wearing the paint off your Logitech G5 then I have =P.

It was like that when I bought it

Oh, I see what you mean. I guess it kind of has, but my camera makes it look like it has bit more than it actually has.

My bedroom is a little small, I'll be arranging my bed into a different position so it'll be easier to take pics later.

Were all those pictures really necessary? The 8800 is a very tight fit in the 900 gamer case.
