gorgeous!! I've built one out of wood for my 4 way but it pales in comparison. I'm assuming most of the components will be under water and the rads are elsewhere? post more pics!

[Hondacity]

wow!!! :D

where are you going to place the rad?

[Costas24]

pump + rads at balcony
no fans:D
but at summer.....

[Hondacity]

Hmmm this is interesting I was planning something similar

Very nice design and great proportion. :up:

[Costas24]

I'm really glad you like:)

I 'll have an update when i put the first hd 5870.
I know that this gpu looks like :moon: in the whole system,
but it's temporary.

cool design and execution!

tagged!

Wow, very nice. Doesn't the board need some airflow in there though or are you just leaving the side off?

[Kuro]

Very nice, what are your temps like?

[Baleful]

Really cool design. Simple yet very effective, only one question: You named the thread " EVGA 4 way DIY case" but I don't see anything made by EVGA, did you mean ASUS?

[RedRaider]

good job...:up:

[ensign.fodder]

Any information about the case itself? Did you fabricate it yourself or design and source it?

Any grand vision you wish to share?

Thanks and sub'ed

Now that's how you think thru, design and build a rig correctly right there.

Very smart and clean, well done:up:

Very clean and aesthetic, but I really miss some room for making the watercooling internal.. Of course that's not what is meant with this design, but that's just my oppinion :)
I like to tuck it all away, so the illusion of a clean design isn't ruined by a huge radiator/reservoir/pump unit near the case..

It could be really cool though, if you could hide the MORA(?), the EK Res and the pump underneath the taple top or just totally out of sight :up:

The side will be free for many reasons.
If i close i should find other mechanism for easy open/close panel.
another 8 screws for the front would be a pain.
If it's closed i will need some fans (loud) and can't avoid dust.(I don't wanna show you i'm fanless person , i know the need of fans)
I was planning to make something dust-free ,everywhere closed no airflow all parts watercooled but psu is a problem(can't get air)other parts like capacitors also dangerous.

idle 15-20

Both can fit:)
The truth is that i want to go for evga
because of p6t7 waterblock unavailability.:(

It weighs about 2kg.
4 long cube bars (8mm)
up/down M4 allen screws
other is M3 all over the case.

If you mean cutting aluminum in the specific dimensions,no.
Aluminum lab did for me.
All other work as making holes ,taping for screws
scratch and paint, i did.

For me rad and pump or chiller shouldn't be a part in the case.
I feel more free to know that the liquid comes from external source that i can manage anytime fill/drain.Computer is the target like a big waterblock
in/out that you can feed it with cold water which is prepared somewhere else.
Although i agree to you and other guys about the whole watercooling system to be in one case.(all parts inside the case)
There are adv/dis for both so during the time we change our mind and rebuild.

I like her. No drive bays, tho'?
