After much time and procrastination I have built a new case. The reasons for this were I was tired of freezing a room just to bench and play games. The old case had 2 480 Feser X's on the outside of the case and while they do a good job of cooling I felt that I could do beter.
The new case is a Mountain Mods Extended U2 UFO CYO with Pedestal. I have also built a cold air intake for the radiators.



After the Pedestal was built it was time to seal it from the rast of the case but still have a way to remove the top with out having to drain both loops.

I used 4 Koolance zero loss quick disconects.
The hard drives fit under the motherboard tray and the pumps fit on each side with out too much work.


Most of the wires and cables are getting hidden below the drives and motherboard but I still have a way to go.




First vantage run with this new setup was nothing special but then I was not running high clocks.

Last nights Prime run, I was wondering why the CPU core temps were between 68c and 71c.

Today is just testing and playing games on the new beast. It is what is was needed for stability and ease of servicing. The Video loop can be removed and the CPU and chipset loop can be removed with out draining the rest of the system so can each radiator.  

Nice iride4u. I fell in love with quick connects too. So easy to service the system that way. Which ones you got, uber high flow or no spill? 

Very Nice. BR for ya.  Hey, some day, I will go with one of those larger cases.  Maybe next build and you can teach me!

Simply outstanding iride!  Very innovative air ducting system and I love the quick disconnects.  She's a keeper for sure!  Congratulations!

Very nice! I like the quick disconnects myself but ive personally never used them in a system.
months later im still debating whether i should replace the ole 932 with an 800d or a MM case...

Go with a MM they may be huge but they are so easy to work on. MM as a company is also very easy to get help from. I ordered a few parts early as I was going to get a used case, but that fell through. MM gave me credit for the parts that were previously purchased. Any time I do a build I use quick disconnects. They cost a little more but save so much time in the long run since you only are draining part of your system.

 
I'd have to agree with this one.  I've owned two MM cases and currently have a 800d as well.  Although I love the 800d for it's cable management and how it's designed it's still a traditional case design.  The thing I love about the MM cases like irides is the fact that the MB is horizontal and you can fit two or three loops inside with so much room to spare.  All of us who water cool rigs have scraped a knuckle or two in cramped spaces.  MM makes it easier.

beautiful, very clean and hard work, keep it up!

Nice looking build buddy. Good work and a very clean setup

That is a very nice looking rig. Great work. I may go with a case like that with the next build.

iride4u, Wow!! she's a beauty, very nice work. Love the horizontal MB tray.

Thanks for the info iride, yerbuddy, utnorris.
I'll keep that all in mind for my next build (which isnt too far off, just holding out for new gpus/sata3/usb3)

Very nice build wish I had your talents man. Great work and also thanks a lot for all the help your giving me I appreciate it a lot.

Wow!

The hardest part with any MM case is wire management.  It can be done, but it isn't easy as say the 800D.  I really wish MM would add cable throughputs on the MB and offer some sort of tubes for running cables.  I still have my MM case and am debating selling it.
