Hello Friends,

Just finished building new system. Upgrade was not necessary but had x58 mobo. lying around and eating dusts for months ( had tried to sell it over here as well ) so I took the chance for upgrade. All the parts bought from USA ( forums, newegg, microcenter etc ). CM HAF-X was bought from PrimeABGB here. ( used 5% discount coupon on diwali offer :) ).

Here is the list of parts.

- i7 950 ( currently running stable @4.08 , 1.27v , used GELID Extreme TP. )

- 12GB OCZ Flex EX DDR31600 7-7-7 ( currently set at 1700 8-8-8 )

- ASRock X58 Extreme Mobo.

- CoolerMaster HAF-X

- MCP-655 variable pump.

- Sunbeam 4ch. Fan Controller ( 40w each I think )

- EK Supreme HF Full Nickel block.

- ASUS Xonar Essense STX soundcard.

- Corsair RAM cooler ( not shown in pic. can't fit it on these OCZ modules :( ).

- Microsoft SideWinder X6 keyboard ( not in pic )

- DVD drive size reservoir. ( homemade, copy of Swiftech Micro Reservoir :) ).

- Brass fittings and Tubes bought locally.

Now Parts from Old build I m using in this.

- BlackIce Pro. 360mm Radiator.

- Antec NeoPower Blue 650w PSU

- Sapphire HD4850 Vapor-X and HD4890 ( currently using HD4850 )

- JVC HA-RX 700 headphone.

- 3TB Storage

- E2200HD

- Logitech PS/2 mouse :p

- Have Auzentech Forte as well ( arrived DOA from USA, didnt get time to send it back )

Lol yeah, i can understand. I had all these water cooling hassles over an year ago ( check out my HomeMade watercooling thread ) so I somewhat knew that where can I find proper parts. Although, it brought me to my knees when looking for compression fittings, searched a lot in city but couldn't find it ( no one even had seen this kinda fittings , finally had got 1 seller who had it in brass, but size was too big ) so finally i had to use brass nozzles . But building reservoir was easy. I knew a guy here doing acrylic artworks ( number plates, frames, etc ). he did it very well , took around 3 hours to complete his work.

I have one spare reservoir ( 1st one was built bigger, some size mismatching ) I will take more pics of it and will post it :).

Same happened with me when I 1st opened the package :D. Even, I didn't take my lunch that day caz of excitement :p. Though excitements were over quickly when I realized that I still need barbs ,tubing and need to go out to ask noobs locally here :|.

Nice stuff. Transparent tubing, would have looked good too. But again, is a personal preference.
I love transparent tubing too, had bought transp. before buying this. But, it was not good at quality, was getting hardened easily in winter . So I bought this, this one is good at quality, not getting bent too much at corners. Though, If I will get time, I will surely find transparent one.

The only thing missing are transparent tubing with UV-reflective coolant mixed water and some nice UV cold cathode lamps.would have looked like a nuclear reactor then:D

I have bought RED coolant ( Automobile obviously ) didnt check it whether it is UV-reflective. I have 2x UV cathode tubes which I used a little in previous build. Also have UV-reactive sata cables as well! :)
