Hey all , got somewhat of a mod going. I picked up a corsair 750d as it somewhat smaller than my mamoth 900d, that being said I wanted to do a red black white theme, all internally water cooled with existing parts. I've got a bunch of pictures will post up after work. Just waiting on a 280 rad for the front and im ready to Fill

    This is looking quite interesting. Would you like me to move this thread to the mods rigs forum?

    not as of yet ran outta money haha, but i do have a updated parts list. But now i am reading the the silverstone ap fans dont do that well for rad setups.. i may still try as the front rad will be really thin, which may make it easier for those fans to move that channel of air through the rad. anyway here are the parts in this odd job build hehe

    Yup very nice.  I'm working on a 4 X58 system monster and running a 930, 970, 5590, and I think it was a 5650.  Going to play with them and see how they all clock. 
     
     
    One thing to comment on regarding your build, drake, is that mobo cover.  That is a fantastic addition.  How did yo go about making it?

    Thank you for the view I follow your thread also love the idea!!! Well I started with a clear peice of acrylic and laid over mobo got stud points marked in, then just cut and shaved to fit. Dremel and high speed cutters were used.

    Also flow on red loop seems to be a tad slow might pick up new pump for the it. But then again maybe just to much restriction through the blocks? Ugh theu were all cleaned well before use again

    I am not a great expert but I think red LED strips would be good or alternatively white LED strips against the red color of your components.

    Red and White LED strips would work well; I've got them in my rig. I think those would work very well with your setup. 
     
    Edit-you can see here for an example, white led strip up top, red on bottom.
