This is the latest comp I have been building. Its almost done. In the newer version the blue wires are gone.
RedChrome Xkroma Case(highly modified)
AMD3000+(I killed my 3700+)

X850XT (I am too old to be a gamer)
1 Gig Geil ONE memory (1.5-2-2-5 @400 or 2.5-4-4-7 @600mhz)
4 Hatachi Sata2 80 gig HDDs in Raid0
Audigy2 Plat (good for hiding the hoses)
Water Cooling
Swiftech CPU, Chipset and VC blocks.
Danger Den Filler/Res
CoolRad 22t Rad (1/2" thicker than the Swiftech)
Hydor L35 pump
Silverstone Strider 400 PS
PrimoFlex 1/2 id 3/4 od tubing
Special Brass fittings 1/2 ID (no restriction)

Nice setup! I hear Jetway has some nice motherboards... what do you think of them? Certainly can't beat their prices...

so thats the motherboard hes using, it looks really cool! i love the oversized tubing BTW on that WC kit, its really impressive how theres hardly any visible wires, great job i could never pull of something like that, maybe you and sbrehm could exchange tips lol
EDIT: oh looks like he edited the post it says his specs now COOL!

Wait till this weekend, I have hidden even more wires. I am just trying to figure the best way to connect the Rad. And I have to hook up the fan controller.
The Jetway is supposed to be a amazing OCer. (oh yea for $50 it aint bad either)
Its been suprising that these cases arent more popular, they come in Black, Blue, Red, and Chrome and are only about $60.
Here is a couple of more hidden wire picts.

Nice modding job on hiding the wires but lets hope you don't need to RMA anything as you are stuck in mud.

watch out with that WC kit, your warranty is totally screwed now and like werty said, you hopefully wont need to RMA anything

I guess ur missing the point (mobo was $50 refurbished from Newegg) Had i used my New DFI Expert that would be different. My CDRW is a 2 year old Asus quiet drive (also no longer a rma prob).
PS last year I bought $15K from Newegg and only RMAd 1 thing (a junk Sapphire mobo)

First it was in the first post.
What a waste of time, when did this turn into the RMA thread?
I thought it was about modding.:confused:
