I am sure he will combine the best of both machines to make a real smoker

Then probably take the lesser of the two and make one kick butt Home theatre PC.

Either way I dont think he will be shipping it to Russia

Cooling NB heat sink, out through the top. The H50 in push/pull almost covers this heat sink, so its hard to get air across it. I actually took this out because it wouldn't stay put, and when it wasn't aligned right it just blocked more airflow.

Wow, I really like the matching color scheme. Did you paint that Corsair power supply logo? The red Corsair Dominators would really fit that setup.

Nope, I didn't paint it; someone from another forum created it and posted it for everyone to use. I have no idea why Corsair chose the blue color for their higher wattage PSU's since blue doesn't seem to be very popular for case mods, particularly that bright color blue.

I have Dominators but unfortunately not the GT, so they are blue also :P

I bought them when they were on sale and long before I planned this build, so I may end up getting some GTs which will match, or these extended cooling fins in red

ahhhh you water cooling setup makes SO much more sense now lol

I was looking at an other pic trying to figure out what was going on lol

Yeah, sorry... the other pic was zoomed in on the main chamber. I wanted to separate the pump into the bottom chamber and suspend it as you can see so that it wouldn't transfer vibration to the case. By most accounts, the D5 pump shouldn't have a problem generating the necessary head pressure to make that first climb to the radiator, but I don't think I'm getting quite the flow that I want. I'll need to run some tests, but they'll probably be held off until it's time to change the water.

Jtrunbull- Clean setup you have there. I really like that case. I know thats my next case right there.

Everyone else good job on the cable management.

My latest build. This was taken before I installed the graphics and sound card, but it's the most recent one showing the entire case. I'll take some complete photos soon, but it's a daunting task to move the case out from underneath the desk. I'd have to say that the biggest oversight in designing the 800d was the lack of wheels or handle.

The 800d was designed with ample room between the motherboard backplate and the case wall to allow wire management. The abundance of grommets provide a lot of flexibility.

The case is a CM690 II Advanced. The cpu cooler is a Noctua NH-D14.
