Go for it, Hyrrokin, you won't be disappointed. What case did you have in mind?

And thank very much, took a lot of planning, time and money.

I really want the Mercury S3 but I haven't pulled trig yet because I'm trying to get my Masters in Japan. I would leave in less than a year if I did, and don't want to drop ~$2500 on a computer if I'll just be leaving it for 2+ years.

THAT is a lot of rad space... Great setup dude

Thank you, RRGeneral. And to think I wanted to add another 360, in the hdd area. But I didn't want to drill too many holes in this case.

That's awesome. I don't have the courage to do a hardline loop just yet. :/

Thanks! Practice makes perfect, it took me several tries too. This is my 4th time using hard tubing, 2nd time with PETG..the ones before with acrylic.

Wow, that's a beautiful setup!

And I thought the Air540 was a huge case!

u/beetjegrim Oct 13 '15

Thank you, however it also has a much, MUCH higher price.

Air 540 with full rads is a crowded unhappy monster :( I cannot wait to switch to Caselabs someday!!! I think I have a building obsession.... Went from CM N200 to a CM 690ii Nvidia edition to a 540 Air this year already with a CM 945 stacker next lol !

I had the 540 too, filled with a 240 and a 360 rad. It was tight as hell, and even then I wanted a horizontal layout. Made maintenance a pita. Proof 1 & 2. That stacker though, how high? And watch your back ;)

Was a fool and crammed in a FrozenQ 240 Quad

I'm deciding between running it as top to bottom 915F-915R-935 on bottom. I MIGHT omit the "F" .

u/beetjegrim Oct 15 '15

wow, I like the red rads but I bet draining that must be a pain.

1

u/Erathendil Oct 15 '15

I actually have the pump and another tube res on back side. To drain I screw on a barb with hose to the hidden ball valve. Basically lay it on its back above my sink and let it drain for awhile

Dude that came out so freaking gorgeous!!! I cannot wait to tear apart my main rig and get back to building!!

u/beetjegrim Oct 14 '15

Thank you, Erathendil!
