Dual line watercooling setup, but this is an 18" cube case and has so much room to work with.

pretty nice. Instead of the 2 bips you could have had 1 triple fan radiator inthe front. they fit perfectly

More pics of the inside. My next build is going to be with a ufo case minus the lights (I have my computer in my room and the whole place lights up like vegas with all thosee lights). I just have to sell off my lian li pc75 before I make the jump. Where did you get the case at? How did you clean up all the wires/cables?

I have a ton of pics from when I built the thing. I changed the non-lit fans to lit fans so they are all LED fans. They are much quieter. The panflo fans I was using were LOUD. The reason I did the two radiators in the front side line is because I used them in my previous case, so I used them together for this one. On the back side is a 2-fan radiator, so each of the water-cooling lines has 2 120mm fanbay radiators.

Oh and the little thing sticking out of the front was a bluetooth wireless headset thing. I dont use it anymore. Also those 6 switches on the front I believe is a Zalman fan controller that I drilled out to fit, plus below that is the switch for the 2nd power supply, which controls the hard drives, fans, lights, pumps, etc.

The caes is huge, and I do occasionally think it will assimilate me. I will try to remember to add additional pics to the website tonight. It really is bigger than I thought it would be, but was the most fun I ever had building a PC. All of the panels come off and there is so much room to work with. Yeah it cost more than I wanted to spend, but after buying all of the components, the case I was going to use was just not big enough.

Damn that's amazing. You have way too much money. But hey, e-penis +10ft.

Put a couple more pictures on the site. I can't locate the rest of the ones I had so I will take some new ones from other angles (like the back section and behind the drive bays)

I am pretty sure I saw it on xoxide.com and then bought it direct from mountainmods.com (they have a ton of variations of it, not to mention bigger ones, and smaller ones)

Yeah the lights can be a little much sometimes, but if I forget to turn on the lights in the office it's no big deal =D. Hehe. Thats one reason I installed the zalman controller into the front panel, so I could flip on and off 4 of the fans and the case cathodes.

The wire and cable cleanup was simplified since the case has a metal plate going through the middle of it. Because of this, i could pull all of the wires tight against the back of it behind where the drive-bays are. I just used pull-ties to band them together and found a palce to latch them on to the back. You will see when I get some more photos how they are all on the other side of the case, but I wanted to keep them away from the main components. The only things behind the drive bays are the 2nd PSU, the blue metalic reservoir cylinder (you can see that at least on the photos online), the 2nd pump, and the T-Line water port which goes to the top of the case in the middle.

keep the pic's comin' - would be nice to see a build-up slideshow (even if it means tearin' it down & reassmbling just for our sake of clarity - jk!)
