I finally removed my old CPU/MB/RAM from the case and installed the new stuff, I used my old ram to make sure everything was working properly.

RAM got here the other day.

Since my Liquid Cooling gear isn't going to be here for a while I decided to go ahead and modify my temporary CPU cooler bracket and use it with the Waterblock mounting hardware.

Well this is what it looks like in the meantime. I'm still waiting on Monsoon angle fittings to be in stock so I can place my order for the rest of the Liquid Cooling Gear.

Well I received the Regular Monsoon Compression Fittings along with Koolance VL4N Quick Disconnects and Some Prolimatech PK-2 Thermal Paste about a week or so ago.

I received the Tygon Plasticizer Free tubing as well but since it was so soft it couldn't be used with the compression fittings and I had to return it. I did find some Tygon - 2001 Plasticizer free tubing that was harder and works with compression fittings though, so all is not lost.

Finally last night UPS came by with the Bitspower Dual Pump Top, Two Bitspower D5 Pump Mod kits, and a Bitspower Upgrade Kit Reservoir.

I've been waiting for the Monsoon Rotary Angle Compression fittings to be released, finally Performance-PCs.com posted them on their website but they're still missing a couple fittings before I can place the (hopefully) final order.

I'll have some more pictures tomorrow if I have time.

Well this is what it looked like a couple of days ago.

Just sold off the classified cards and purchased two 7970's so I think I'll liquid cool those.

nice setup!

I love it, all of the open space it always what I've wanted in full tower case. Having it all aluminum and made by some great people is just a plus.

I ordered some 7970's after I sold my 2 classified cards, unfortunately between the nightmare drivers and a defective card I'm returning them.

However I ordered an EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB + Backplate for interim use until 780's come out in March. Should be here Wednesday.
