Welcome to the club!

I am hoping nobody minds me asking a quick question about lighting in the system I have listed in my Mods/Rigs. I added cold cathode tubes for lighting a little while back. I found an old RAM cooling fan that I got years ago and put it in the other day because it matched the blue theme. Before I installed the RAM cooler, all of the interior lighting was reflected off of the case's white finish. Do you think having exposed lights on the RAM cooler detracts from the reflected lighting effects I had before? Thanks for any input.

The one I made to help Chrome-M-Dragon & EVGA with this very cool project
Thereby I have left you a +1 and a comment, feel free to leave the same for all the other 403 participants, si yeah welcome to the madhouse mate!

Thank you. I +1 as many Mods/Rigs as I can find time to. I am pondering whether that RAM cooling fan should be removed or not. It's the only light source not reflected right now. The relected light inside my case reminds me of how a full moon illuminates the landscape at night.

I would keep it, never hurts to have a little extra airflow. If anything you could mod it with new leds.

Good point. I added a blue LED 140mm fan in the upper rear corner and two blue LED 120mm fans in the lower right on the case bottom to help light those corners. The LEDs on that RAM cooler aren't too out of 'character' for my lighting scheme.

+1 for tucker147.

Thanks for the +1 sgtharry 

So many cool rigs! I thought I posted many moons ago, but guess I didn't for some reason. I just sold this build, so I need to update pics and scores. Finally got my X79 up and running.

Can I add my name to the list again. Project Ov3rKill has been parted out and replaced with a Red Build.
However they share the same PSU and CPU water block!

Aiight, I +1'd a bunch I saw in this thread (nice).
 
Introducing Apollo 5.0. Not the prettiest thing I've done; but, after 6 years, 5 systems and $10,000+ in systems that sucked, this is the fastest.  
 
Still in the Top 50 2-Way SLI on Firestrike (I was originally at #15 back in the day), and top 30 in Firestrike Extreme (last I checked).  And yes, reference air-cooled (2-way ACX coolers is horrible, yanked them off quickly - sitting in boxes in the closet).
 
I still haven't completed my custom TEC waterchiller project using the Dell OEM H2C system - been too busy with work.  That will clean up things nicely.  3D modeling is fun, but didn't like the casting tests I got for copper and silver.  May have it milled next.  So for now, a cheap H80 keeps the Ivy Bridge-E @ 4.7 tamed - bleh.
 
Ignore the white wires - they are thermal probes for the RIVBE's remote monitor.

 Sorry that I didn't take pics of the modifications to the reference cooler and rear backplates (added additional heatsinks to both, increased thermal capacity).  
 
All in all, the temps are much much lower than stock, matching the ACX coolers' performance on a one-on-one basis.  With two ACX coolers though, that was just too much heat being dumped into the chassis - even with 6000 RPM server-grade fans.
 
(previously...)
 
I once dropped $1000 on a watercooling setup that looked awesome; but, performed like ass (micro-stutter with tri-monitors and 3-way SLI).  That kind of wrote off watercooling for me.  Also, I didn't realize how much heat would be dumped into the chassis from having two large 280s up front like that.  Whoops.
