[Sniper]

Might need the space!

[Sniper]

Another as a safety lol

[Septim]

very nice. i though i saw a tribal res in there...

[Sniper]

Yeah Septim I won't be using it in this build though. It's for my next case that i'm doing in Jan.

[Septim]

it looks cool, he is selling some of those on ebay, 4 holes each end cap, good for LEDs and sensors and probably could supply 2 loops too...

[Sniper]

No this was a first run prototype that he made for DB. I said I would kill to have one of Tribal's reservoirs & DB sent me that. We don't know if it works or holds water or anything yet as it's never been used in a system so we'll see next build if it works or not lol. Yes it could very easily supply 2 loops & even has a filler hole as well which is nice to. Don't know about it the center rotating though with 2 inlets hitting it but we'll try it & hopefully it will.

[smee]

Holy crap, sub'd!!

I love the white H2gO, always liked white cases.... :rolleyes::D

This is going to be awesome. MOAR PICS PLZ!!

[Sniper]

I put the other fans in & fit the BP grills on but i'm not keeping them. the uv acrylic cracked on 2 of them & they just don't look right at all.

[zlojack]

Hey Sniper, do you have a picture of the R2E installed in that case?

How does it work with the opening on the motherboard tray?

[Sniper]

I don't actually but it overlaps that long opening by almost half covering it lol.

[zlojack]

That's what I thought.

It looks like I might not be stepping up the the EVGA Classified then, since it will block off my tubing runs :o

[Sniper]

That's what I thought.

Jesus are you serious! that's Huge! Also damn I never thought of that either haha.

[zlojack]

Well, think about it.

If you block off half of that channel, how the hell do I get the tubes through there?

It would be tight, to say the least.

[Sniper]

I know I just never thought of it yet as I haven't started to run tubing yet haha. It will be abit of a tight fit even now on mine but they'll still go up through. Going to check with tubing now.

I'm safe for now lots of room it wigles slightly from side to side.

[zlojack]

If you have a chance, take a snap of a pic for me.

[Sniper]

k will do but I have no cam right now unfortunately

[zlojack]

Thanks bro!

No hurry as I've got a while to go before that other board even comes out :D
