    Thanks!

    Here is a link to an untouched iso: http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/windows-8-1-download/ Note this is an iso of the pro version, if your key is for the standard edition you will need another.

    I had neither of those too, that's why it took me over a year to finish it . I just bought the stuff bit by bit and learned by doing (see the top post of stuff I've learned while doing this build).

    The mod is complete! I've installed my computer in the G5 case together with a l240 ekwb water cooling kit. It was quite a hassle fitting everything inside but I'm quite pleased with the result!

    You don't need it. If you ever need one in the future just buy an external one, almost the same price as an internal one.

    I'd say it's a pretty good color match, maybe a tad darker but not really noticeable. You would have to put the two right next to each other to see a difference. I don't know however if it's available in the US. When I was researching paint options I found that rustoleum (I think it was used in this mod) and plasti-dip also had colors that matched the case but those aren't easy to find in europe.

    Thx! I used a couple of cans of hammerite aluminium color metal paint.

    I just meant that it's not fair to compare an overclocked card against a not overclocked card. And OP said they were priced the same where he lives.

    Mmmm I could also go for a refurbished HD7950 with 12month warranty + low profile cooler but I don't know if that would be a smart decision...

    The budget right now is 200-250 so I was thinking to do a basic loop now and later add more rads as I added a gpu to the loop.
  11. mr_greenguy
    I would be going for the EK l240 or Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 240 DDC/XT kits which are around 200 euro

    Didn't do a lot today, I measured the fan and dimensions of my PSU and test fitted it. Then I traced the hole on the panel and used a dremel to cut it out.
  13. mr_greenguy
    Yeah the components are not that outdated so I'd have to spend some serious money to get more than a marginal improvement and if I watercool I could keep the loop when I upgrade. So I'm leaning towards water cooling + overclock.

    So I'm doing a casemod and my plan is/was to just put my old pc in it. However I have a massive aircooler (scythe muger 2 rev B) that's too high for the new case. So my options are to either watercool my pc with all the benefits of that or get an aircooler with a lower profile and use the spare money to save for a bigger upgrade later on. An AIO watercooler is not an option since the tubes won't be long enough so it would have to be a custom loop. Current Specs: cpu: i5 2500K @ 3.2GHz but stable overclock possible in the 4-5 GHz range Motherboard: Asrock P67 Extreme4 Gen3 RAM: 8GB @1600 GPU: Club3D HD 7950 royalKing not overclocked but overclockable to get similar performance to a 7970 SSD: Samsung 830 SSD 128GB HDD: 2TB seagate HDD PSU: XFX ProSeries 750W XXX Screen: dell u2312hm

    The paint has dried so time to reassemble! No more apple logo ! And with the tray mounted:
