Hey EVGA,
 
I posted my first case mod/watercooling project up on mod rigs and figured I'd share it with the forum.
 
I had my RV02-EW white raven for a while and I came across a brilliant ft02 water cooling mod by Lvl8hacker, and I wanted to make something close to what he did with his fortress to my raven.
 
The mod involved taking the case fan filter and holders out of the bottom of the case to fit the 180.3 radiator and removing the HDD cage, trimming it and placing it back in rotated 90 degree.
 
A picture of how massive this radiator is:

 
The white Raven used:

 
Upgrading from SLI to Tri-SLI after getting a great deal on a 3rd gtx 570 and leak testing:

 
Doing the necessary moding to get the case to work:

 
Obviously went with the EVGA z68 FTW mobo for my dream rig:

 
Lights, Camera, Leak Test:

 
First breath:

 
Now that the system is running I've been benching at 5.3ghz on my i7 2600k and 877mhz on my 3 gtx 570s and I'm very proud of my scores. I plan to create a dual boot in the near future with a non bloated install for benchmarks but for now here is my bloated windows scores.

Hey,
Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I really appreciate it.
 
the 180.3 rads are Magicool made specially for FrozenCPU so if you have an FT02 or RV02 that's THE rad you're looking for.
 
In terms of cooling I'm using 3 silverstone AP181 fans on the low setting which run silently and keep my CPU under 70c at 1.55v and my GPUS under 45 at 1.1v when benching in a 16c(60f) room.

dang
thats one big rad
