Yeah, they will have to put a blow up shield like in the race cars.

And a fire estinguisher that goes off automatically, triggered by a temp sensor.
Man that thing will get hot.

It'll make a great story though

ok now i see why there was a hole in the bottom of the case ...
really nice job.. what rad are you going to use ?

Got a Thermochill 120.3 in the top of the case under the three fans. Contemplating a second loop with a smaller rad in the bayes behind the reservoir or build a metal box to attach under the bottom of the case to house a pump, reservoir and another Thermochill 120.3 (See what heat the new components will generate once more reviews are out.) Probably build the bottom water housing case and be ready for either when the build parts are available.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Pic in the sun. Sun a little too bright for silver and angle I had to use to get the BlackCherry to show kind of killed the gloss effect on top a little, but the sun shows the true color better thna the indoor shots?

It's a smart colour, the sun does indeed show it off

Well, went ahead and built a combination 1' x 2' stand/loop box out of aluminum. Have the frame bolted together. Looks like there will be plenty of room to move the bottom case PS to the top of the stand/loop box just under where it was in the PC case. Looks like only need an extension for the mobo 12v 4/8pin connector as already need one now. Looks like wiring will reach all other components. This should allow room to connect water tubes to vid card blocks with the PS out of the way. Wish I had room for a mountain man PC case as that would have solved all my dual loop problems, but I don't have space for the width. Going to bolt the case to the stand. It will be heavy,but appears movable with the glass side panels removed from case and stand. There is a ton of stuff left to do,but it is progressing steadily. Have the side panels on order to be cut to size. Will bolt them on and put mesh on both ends for air intake and a window facing me (removable panel)
