The 900D is awesome, but as per usual I have forgotten how much time and money this is going to take, I've already spent more than the cost of the case on additional cooling components.
I'll try and get some pictures up over the weekend, but so far I've basically been stripping down the old build and cleaning up / preparing the components before installing them into the 900D.
It's going to be 2 x 480 radiators, 2 x EK 250ml Reservoirs, 2 x Swiftech MCP655 pumps (with 2 x EK tops) dual loop obviously.
I'm estimating 2 weeks to a month to complete it the way I want it.

Cheers mate.
First WC build, so it probably won't be the best
Same water block as me too by the looks of it
Instead of the stock Intel fan I'm running a Corsair H80i. Processor is a 3570k running at 3.4Ghz
I got that case
My H100 fans won't fit on the top though
so I have to take the "lid" offNickson

Looks awesome Gareth!
Also, I've found the Corsair SP fans to be really good. Move a lot of air through a rad in near silence.

Zalman Z9? Yeah I was hoping to get a H100i to fit but even though it's a decent size case, inside it's tiny lol
Evo 5 RS
That's pretty giant, the Xigmatec is bigger but I much prefer that layout. Might go for one if I ever strip this down.
Evo 5 RS
Pretty insane, the reservoirs make it look small!
Yeah! I know I've got all the panels off apart from the front one lol everything is nice and "tight"
BTW gareth that looks amazing!!

^ love it Gareth!
Mine has had to be completely stripped back down now unfortunately.
Been having some problems getting the last DIMM to work on my EVGA x79 FTW. When the slot was populated, the machine wouldn't boot.
Reseated the CPU twice, removed from the case etc etc.
A closer inspection reveals a snapped CPU socket pin. Fark sake.

Wimp lol. Getting there mate, if I wasn't in lazy season I'd contemplate that case.
Nickson that's a b**ch! You'll have to quibble warranty too
Turbo'd MX-5 MK4
Into the final stages now, back up and running on it now and rebuilding the OS, re-installing all the games etc
Bit of a pain in the @rse but I seem to somehow have a problem with my SLI bridge as it doesn't seem to want to work properly anymore, so I have ordered another one along with more fans and a few other bits.

Looks awesome - serious question - how much does it weigh?
I have a 800D with only 1 GPU and 1 loop, and that's 35Kg...
Would love to know how much that weighs, gotta be up near 50 surely?

I'd say its definitely around 45-50kg. I spend a fair amount of my time working with servers and disk arrays etc and this is comfortably heavier than any of the kit I deal with at work. I had to finish the build off upstairs as I would never have got it up the stairs, almost put my back out lifting it back onto the desk this morning after taking the pictures.
Evo 5 RS
Fast work mate, looks amazing. Are you sure it's the SLi bridge that's stopped working as sometimes I had to do a clean driver install 3 or 4 times for it to kick in on that chipset?
