Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Just think how awesome the new case will be!
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Yup, that's what makes it worth it, hehe.
Here's 2 nice pics of a neat layout I found on Google Images of the case, some nice interior space I say!

Think that guy has enough HDDs?
CPU cooler looks a tight fit. Luckily not a problem when you WC.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Well, I've ordered and payed for my HAF 922! A buddy of mine is going to help me paint the inside black as well, he did the same with his PC. I'm going to take pics and basically do a how-to for the forum. But only if it's a success!

I thought that was the rule for RAM.

I think it might be true. I miss having 6gigs.Mystical_Titan wrote:I thought that was the rule for RAM.
hmmm.
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Thanks for the recommendation man! I can't wait for it to arrive, my case is feeling so cramped, the airflow really isn't great at the moment since adding the new watercooling.DAE_JA_VOO wrote:Man!! Ryan, you're going to LOVE that case. When's it arriving?
The stock should be arriving middle of the month, so I'll have it all set up in 2 - 3 weeks.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Don't forget the pics!
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Yup will do! Trying to get a block for my GPU so that I can add it to the watercooling loop as well, but it's tricky, because I can't find any available locally, and I'm not sure how long it will be before I upgrade to a DX11 card (probably the 500 series when it's out) so I don't wanna pay too much.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Well, if nVidia takes as long with the 500-series as they did with the 400-series, then don't hold your breath.
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Nah I've checked rumours about 2nd half of this year, which will be perfect, gives me some time to save for it after all my recent purchases. Damn, I wanted to just upgrade my PC a bit and then it sorta started snowballing...Mystical_Titan wrote:Well, if nVidia takes as long with the 500-series as they did with the 400-series, then don't hold your breath.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Same here... just wanted to replace my graphics cards and I ended up selling my whole system and building a new PC from scratch.
I dunno man... second half of this year? Sounds like a bit of a stretch. Rumours are exactly that... rumours. I'm sure they'll bring out a GTX 480 revision with the full 512 stream processors before they bring out a new series of cards. But... if they do, then all the better for you!

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Awesome, just got word that my case has arrived. Finish work around 1PM tomorrow, so shall shoot through to Somerset West and collect it. Great success!
Aargh, the dreaded water draining has arrived. I always manage to mess somehow, haha.

As long as you don't mess on anything important.
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
I'm just about done transferring my PC to my Lian Li case, just need to do some better cable management in some places.
Please excuse the bad pics, but all I have is my phone now and it sucks in low light, will update with proper camera pics on the weekend. Very happy with this case! Not sure yet if I prefer it with the windowed side panel or the plain black one, time will tell...

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Aaah! Looks great, Ryan! Man, your machine is in its prime now! I wouldn't have the blue and red CCFLs in there if I were you, but that's just preference So, you see what I mean now about "Once you use a Lian-Li, you'll understand"?

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Thanks man! I agree about the lighting, not sure what I'll do because it looks dull without it but I want to get another blue and only have that colour maybe... Would you just have no CCFL's?
I definitely see what you mean, Lian Li is the way! I also love the aluminum because its a huge case but feels so light! The doors are just quite hard to slide on an off, I think it's the aluminum.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Nice work.
Looking forward to seeing the other pics, though. Pesky phone cameras.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Thanks MT! Yeah DAE I took out the CCFL's, looked a bit too lan-boy for me and sorta ruined the theme of this stylish case...

Awesome
I think if you put some white lights in there, it would look awesome

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Yeah I was struggling to find any around here, they're all green, blue or red, blah. Will have a look a look around, cos white will go great with the case! Man I can't wait to see your finished project on the A77...

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Never seen white light before... well, not in a PC case.
My new case is going to be all about the red light!
