    Nice, it's always good to have some positive cashflow. Well I've lots of ideas anyway, I'm getting excited just thinking about them here LOL. What kind of budget would you have roughly? I have dual loops in mind:D :D .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    well im not gona spend as much for a dual loop now thats a waste of money :D

    lol.i so want a Silverstone Temjin TJ07 but they are like ****en 300E :(

    which is a bit expensive for a case ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Im actually looking to get rid of my setup atm. Case and watercooling. Though i would want some cash to change from a heavilly modded v2000a back to a mirage. Anyway, let me know .

    did someone just shoot this thread with a smiley shotgun or something?

    seriously though, i'd be interested in this as well. What would be the best, no hassle, case and watercooling to go for. I mean what case should I be looking at if I wanted to comfortable fit a triple rad INSIDE the case?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    In my books the Silverstone Temjin TJ07

    look :

    looks nice.

    I'd say TJ07, V2000, G70 would be top of the list.

    Ok, pics. Sorry for the very poor image quality, I need a decent camera.

    Id have to say a v2000a, you could easilly fit 2 tripple rads in the bottom, and pump with plenty of room to spare.

    Here is what mine looks like now, after cable tidying and adding the lighting in a fixex posisition.

    Sorry for the crappy pics, as usual :(

    It's like a mini discotheque!

    Really nice setups guys, I hope to try my hand at watercooling sometime soon and it's nice to see some top jobs like these. Always been a fan of the V1000 ever since my first glimpse at custom building was a corsair system build guide.

    Great finish and looks a blast to work with, also a fan of that inverted pseudo-BTX style.

    New or from me? I'd sell the Fuzion anyway, I want to try out an Apogee GTX, maybe go dual loops with an MCR320 for the CPU. I could fit it in the V1000 but it would be damn tight, but all the more fun that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    ya how much for the fuzion and the laning off you :D

    Hmm, I don't know really, the Fuzion is ~60 new, and a true DDC2 is a rare commodity these days. I paid $100US for it, what would you be willing to pay?

    V2000 has more room and if you check out vadim.co.uk you can see the triple and dual rad they fit into the bottom compartment, but in saying that the Tj07 is a great case:)

    You can actually fit 2 tripple rands and 2 doubles in the bottom of the v2000. I bet you could squeeze in a extra few single rads too. As long as they are low profile ones.

    If i get some money i might buy one a go crazy but two triples would probably be overkill but i'm still thinking of investing in a chiller/phase change unit but i was thinking of getting a custom one a don't know what case to get it made for


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    I have seen a phase change unit inside a v2000 before, but the whole internals were ripped out. only one dvd drive and 2 raptors. Im thinking of modding mine at the moment, by putting the tripple rad standing up in the front, and using the bottom for the hdds again. Would make the case look a fair bit tidier and provide good airflow to the rest of the case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    you can fit a compressure unit into the bottom of a v2000 have seen it done a few times :D

    heck if i went down to our store room i would enough parts to build 100000 phase units :D

    btw im missing you :(

    I'm not sure if I'll sell anyway, I might try and sell the whole rig... maybe. What would you say would be reasonable for it? IMO go for the V2000 if you're torn and I don't thinl you'll get a better price than caseking(saw your thread at XS)

    Pics don't do justice to the V series, IMO they're really nice when you see them in person. I'll prob go with a V2000 + Pa120.3 + MCR220 dual loops with the PA on the CPU. OT but what would you say the whole rig is worth? I already posted in the thread "How much is my computer worth?" but no dice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    well you will have better luck if ya sell the watercooling sepratly :D

    if so i will take the pump+block :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti
