That's what I've decided to name it. If you've read the Star Wars EU you'll get it. Anyways here's the story. Back in March 09, I was told by my parents I could finally build my first rig.... Now, in 2010 it's finally nearing completion. The only real things left in my eyes are a new motherboard, PSU, hopefully a second 295 + EK block and some sleeving would be nice. Of course, more pumps and radiators can't hurt either.  So, here we go. Components: Core i7 930 batch #3002A582 Corsair Dominator GT 2000C8 EVGA X58 3X SLI EVGA GTX 295  Cooler Master Cosmos S case with window side panel Windows 7 Professional Western Digital 1TB HDD Lite On DVD writer Lamptron FC-2 Fan Controller ABS Tagan BZ1100W PSU Water Cooling EK FC-295 GTX Acetal+Nickel *Thanks to PPC for getting this out to me* EK Supreme HF Full Nickel Version Primochill 7/16" by 5/8" black tubing Bitspower Water Tank Z EVGA 758 NB/SB Waterblock *Thanks to Iride for this* EK 7/16" matte black compressions Bitspower 90* angle barb fittings matte black Watercool DDC case Laing DDC 18W version *Thanks to Ugotserved for this* HWlabs Black Ice GTX 480 Radiator  Cooler Master R4 (red) fans internal Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000RPM fans external in Pull on the radiator Shown here next to HAF 912 rig that was shipped to my dad's office today.  And here's where the pump is located:  Then onto more detailed shots.

Nice build Halo, like the black tubing. What board are you looking to get the REX III? What kind of temps are you hitting with your setup, wait till winter and put you case next to the window and pick up some boints

I know the black tubing looks amazing on FrozenCPU which is where I got it. And yeah the R3E is what I want, and an EK block for it. Not much winter in florida though, so I'll just open the window. Hypn0t1q79
First and Nice Build :)
Thanks!

I'm thinking about switching out those Ultra Kazes for some more CM R4s, any thoughts on that?

Very nice Halo. Did you ever think of using PWM fans to auto control fan speed at the radiator or anywhere else for that matter.

Haha it truly is. I love the nickel block, been looking for it for a while lol. raffy4u2

Thanks! The 295s are still beast, the 580s should blow it away though.  DMIINC

Thanks. I'm using the Ultra Kazes on the Lamptron FC-2 Fan Controller to keep the noise down somewhat, but I'm really wanting to get more Red led R4s, they look so good.

Woot I finally figured out my camera issues, so I'll update the pics soon, but let me just say; wow. These newer pics are so much better it's ridiculous. Kinda don't want to put them on this page though that would slow it down I'd imagine...

Thanks. I actually really liked it, it's a very nice little case. Looks like it has a ton of modding potential too.

Thanks guys. Got a few ideas planned for it but I need some stuff before I could do it. lol. Vantage I'm hoping to break 30k soon. I need my CPU to be able to go beyond 4.3Ghz.. And lol Yerbuddy when I got all the blocks in, I sat and stared at it for a good hour or so trying to figure out how to route the tubing.
