And I didn't take the thermochill because there is not much difference in performance, but there is a very big difference in price ya bro, the difference of performance is not much, but in terms of money they are huge. you can buy almost 2 mcr320qp with the price of the thermochill... the swiftech radiator are best bang per buck radiator available... looking forward for ur built, nice wc gadgets u got there...

Thanks 27 august 2009 (Cont) Now the mobo tray turn. I have to pierce some hole for cable management and also two holes for the reservoir holder. I have borrowed a friend's drill and went out to buy a 25mm holesaw and a metal file. Oh and on the way I stopped by modernopc to buy few accessories: It took some time to mod the mobo tray as I didn't want to make hole where I shouldn't. Like the wise man said "Measure twice, cut once" Before: After I have tested with the mobo and sleeved ATX cables and it looks great ... but I won't show you until I'm done. That would be like seeing the end of a movie in the middle of it, you'd lose all the suspense Oh and I finally decided the paint the beam in black. After looking at the case, it looks indeed a bit awkward. Tonight's good news is I have very little to do before to start on the real (re)building of the comp as all the preparation work are almost done. I just need to sleeve the PCI-E PSU calbes tonight, wait for the beam to dry and it will be okay. I have few others things to do to achieve the overall look of the mod, but I can do it during the leak testing of the WC system. BTW, anyone would know a good address around PJ to find all kind of nuts/bolts/screws ? I'd need some 12mm length x 2mm diameter x M3 thread screws to hold the HDD cage and I also want to replace all the M3/M4 screws holding the HDD/DVD ROM by black one, but I'm not sure where to find that. I have already looked around in hardware shops but they have a very limited choice ... try a shop over at PJS 11 nearby sunway college there... the shop lot there, got one of them got carry all kind of screws... opposite a radiator shop... forgot the road name... go scout there and see...

***** Senior Member 2,295 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: Penang	QUOTE(r4st4m4n @ Dec 14 2009, 02:28 PM) Thanks for the advice, i didn't know that. My tube have again become a bit cloudy, but not as bad as last time. Now I am starting to wonder if it is really algae since my res stays completely clear. So I'm thinking it might be some residue of flux from the rad. Because the tube "absorbs" stuff unlike the res, that might be why I see it on the tube but not on the res. I'm going to wait a little while to see if it settles like that and I'm probably going to switch to white tubing ... Yup, I saw the "LT+" trick on xtremesystems. But I'm quite happy with my temp so I don't think it is worth it because of the added restriction which might defeat the gain from the mod. tht's one of the reason i use coolants... if i use clear tubes, i cheat myself acting as i dunno my tubing is clouded since the coolants color cover up the cloudings already... only problem is when drain the loop, it the time to face the truth...
