Default What can I say? It's a start....

I don't have any real "Shots" of what I have but I can show you guys what I've been working on recently.

Pics below are of my WC'ing build in it's initial stages.

Since it's a work in progress with improvements to come, it's not complete by any means. I have been using it for benching and the like with some decent results up until now and of course I've had my share of close calls, including hosing one of my videocards thanks to a small leak from the CPU block.

I have plans to do a more permanent setup later with some refinements and yes, the mess will be more organized than it is in these pics. It may be ugly but it works and that's the most important part for now. Have plans to relocate the system within a new case/enclosure since what's picured is an older case and was available for this testing.

You''ll notice my res setup is up higher than the rest of the system and that's because I wanted the waterpressure to help bleed the system and definitely get coolant to and through the pumps (MCP 655 Vario pumps) without having to risk any damage to these from starting them dry. Shutoff valves are on each res so I can isolate them as needed for whatever reason I may have to. I also have drain valves (Not pictured) for each at the lowest point for ease of maintenance to the system.

Right now temps under load rarely exceed 31C for most any reason except for heavy benching but even then they are within tolerance. I've yet to add a block to the GPU's but will get to that eventually.
The pics show my 754 DFI NF4X Infinity and my DFI LP UT NF4 Expert systems setup with the system using a OCZ Hydroflow CPU block and a Swiftech MCW30 chipset cooler. The pic with the extra rad is of the Expert board and that was something I was previously experimenting with to see how well it would work. The rad itself is a triple unit mounted up high and away from the system.

Not the best looking setup but it does the job I need it to - For now anyway.
