Cheers buddy

Just under my desk...I am lucky enough to have a vent in from the outside.......usually in these houses they are fitted at ceiling height.......but for some reason this one ain't?.......they are required by law when gas central heating is fitted for ventilation in case of fumes.

This is exactly where the back of my PC will sit....so I have reversed the Rad fans to 'PULL' clean air through the Rad from this vent

It gets mighty cold here most of the year....so I am expecting some good temps.

Time will tell my friend. :talker:

Any further progress or pix? I'd love to use the same Swiftech kit. My Armor case has 4 pre-drilled 1/2 inch holes which may be more suitable for a Danger Den kit. :rolleyes: Of course a step drill may do the job. I almost have to purchase the kit just to see how to make it work. What's the latest? :rofl:

You must be closer to finishing.

No....the Swiftech kit has just shy of 1/2 tubing and will fit your case just fine :blink:

I've been busy this week with other things buddy but have the board and other bits fitted now......gonna prep the watercooling tonight and leak test overnight....will take pics soon :blink:

Have ordered a BFG 8800GTS which is arriving on Friday along with the monitor and other bits and pieces....so should be up and running this weekend

Hmmm...so the 7/8s" holes are just to accomodate the rubber grommets?

Ahhh...the waiting must be worse then the night before Christmas. :blink:

Ya have to post some benchies too. That card will probably destroy 3DMark '06.

You got it bud :rofl:

.......and you may not need the grommets seeing as your holes are pre-cut?......but they come with the kit anyhow :blink:

I was in 2 minds whether to go for the GTX?......but the cost for extra performance ain't worth it......hope to have benchies soon also.

Wish I had went for the new 680i board though.......review on Portal
