The cooling here isn't set in stone, I got plenty of space to put in a Phase change unit for the CPU but I am not a big fan of the noise. I might also consider a Bong cooler as the front flex bay compartment will be mostly unoccupied. I am open to thoughts and suggestions!

Looking forward to this new build

Interesting.....cant wait for the final.

Tell me about it, the wheels are invaluable when working with the case. The case gives a new meaning to the term "working in a case".

Here is an idea of how tall this case can get:

 
That is Seross from OCN, a gentleman who is 5'9" tall and has a white version of this case with 2 more pedestals. He also has an extended top like mine so the fully assembled case is taller that he is. If anyone is interested, this is a link to his insane build log: http://www.overclock.net/t/1374618/sponsored-excessive-insanity-5-computers-in-a-case-labs-tx10-d-with-triple-pedestals-sponsored-by-ek-water-blocks
 
Meanwhile, my wallet is complaining already:

 
I think I have spent over a grand at PPC and likely the same amount split between FCPU, SideWinder, Hellfire Toyz and so forth. I still need 1-2 simple fan controllers, 3 more pumps and spare parts for the 3rd 400mm reservoir. I will definitely have to wiggle around the reservoirs in the main chamber to get the pump in below, likely I will need to drill in pass throughs for tubing and then install the pumps at the bottom of the case. So each pump will then have to push up coolant close to 5 feet 
 
Also, the replacement battery charger for my camera is here and so this should hopefully be the last phone camera picture I will have to take.

Looking like a +1 from me on your Build Page when you have completed this monster of a beast.

 
Looking good so far.

I have 11 Rigs and working on my 12th now http://www.modsrigs.com/revise.aspx?id=33875 called X79GTX690Cruncher

bcavnaugh: Thanks a lot, that helps. I would have thought that the 1k sponsorship would be handy during the build but I can see why it is the way it is.

knightsilver: There is enough space in the bottom to put in a full kitchen sink :)

I am still keeping possibly a fool's hope on the 5930k being an octacore. If not, I will have to think hard about it since I will likely save a ton of money if I go 4930k, an x79 motherboard and DDR3. But the more I think about benching with an octacore...

I got z87 going in the other rig and my current 4770k is a pretty decent chip even without de-lidding. If I was to do it all over again, I would not choose the M6F for the motherboard and likely go with the EVGA z87 Classified or the MSI XPower. Intel can't produce magic with the 4790k, it is still the same Haswell chip and likely is coming with much higher stock clocks. While that is great for reviews where no one bothers going past stock these days, it doesn't say much about the overclocking nature of the chips.

The x79/x99 rig is for me and will be utilized for a bunch of modelling work where hyoerthreading and multiple cores actually do come in use. Even the AMD 8350/9590 chips have a small advantage here compared to i5 chips of the present. So I would definitely like to go with more cores, but again within reason. Else I would likely have gone with a locked, 10/12 core Xbox chip.

One side of the Mo.Ra mounted with fans but before I take any pictures of it, I need to drill holes into the Mo.Ra super mount to accomodate for tubing/fittings since I am going to make use of the extended top and have the entire Mo.Ra assembly above the mount.
In the meantime, about them Cougars:






I think I am a believer in the Cougars now, and I love the drop-in radiator mount concept- especially coming off the terrible to use side mounts in the 900D. Today I go back to the Mo.Ra mount and attempt some drilling.
 
If anyone else is interested, here are radiator volumes for the rads I have measured so far:
1) Phobya G-Changer 120 (Pretty much an Alphacool UT60 120): 220 mL
2) XSPC AX480: 300 mL
3) Alphacool Monsta 480: 670 mL
4) HardwareLabs Black Ice SR1 560: 490 mL
I may have that Phobya number off, will check again today.
 
Edit: 
Got another package from PPC. Other than the odd fitting, splitter and flexbay solid covers I got 2 more things I am very excited to use




I will only be using the Blitz kit on the Alphacool and Phobya rads, the others will be just fine with hot water flushes + distilled water rinses hopefully. That's still a pretty decent kit for the money.

 
Yes it's ok to post updates.        ;)

Stren was and continues to be an inspiration for all owners of the TX10. But as I pointed out in post #10, Seross currently has the record with the TX-10, extended top and 3 pedestals!!
 
Hope the meds help out, because more insanity is coming this way soon. Time for some actual hardware to find its way in now including the KPEs.

That is true, although I would say, except that Seross keeps breaking all of his fancy toys, but then so does Stren. heh
 
Might you consider doing a squared-block or left-right echelon configuration of four 400mm watertank in that space just rear of the bays?
