    Dev. got a reaction from Theo in $1000 headphones?! You're crazy! (Audeze LCD-2 review)   
    Can confirm, LCD-XC's look amazing and sound even better than they look.

    Dev. reacted to Warcony in Captherm Systems MP1120 CPU Cooler"500X high heat compacity to liquid?"   
    OP, this is a pretty decent explanation of this cooling system. 
     
    The phase change from liquid to vapour allows for much more energy to be absorbed by the fluid. This in turn with the high pressure of the system will make it very efficient.  Whatever fluid they are using it must really be efficient at heat transfer to allow for such a small radiator to condense it back down to liquid state.  You are right there will probably be orientation limitations.
     
    In terms of it exploding, I have a feeling they have some sort of valve(s) that will open if the system pressure gets too high.  It's almost entirely solid state so the chance of failure will be very small.  I believe the fluid is entirely non conductive so it won't ruin your components if it leaks. My concern is with the lifetime of the fluid as it is continuously undergoing phase changes.

    I know, the title sucks... couldn't think of a good one. But anyways, I've been pretty much just lurking on this forum for a bit, not really posting much so I figured this would be a good way to start. I really wanted a small form factor high powered system and this is what resulted. I saved quite a bit of money too with the recent black friday sales.

    EVGA GTX 780Ti Superclocked, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.  :wub:

    Cable management is very rudimentary. I would have liked for Silverstone to include shorter cables with their ST65F, but no big deal... I have the short cable kit coming in the mail.

     
    Not as many pictures as I would have liked, I forgot to take pictures throughout the build process.

    Taking all the cables out

     
    After: (notice my ghetto SSD mount)  :lol: The management is not as good as I expected, but it's the best I could do. Still looks pretty damn neat IMO.

    I set it so the radiator fans and the front fans are both intakes. I know, conflicting airflow... but I'd like the front fans to feed some fresh air onto the SSD and into the GPU fan while the radiator fans bring fresh air through the rad. The PSU is set to exhaust. With the short cable kit, I'm now able to actually fit actual hard drive mounts. I'll be getting some more storage devices soon. This ssd is running out!
