WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

Installing the fans was straightforward - same as any other fan installation. Those fan rings will be coming off in about a month to get spray painted. CPU block was no problem either. I had multiple options for the reservoir, but given that I didn't want to drill any holes in the case I had to use pre-existing holes which resulted in the mounting rings being closer together than I wanted them to be
 

 
The hardest part about all of this is that Magicool decided that customers will only be mounting the reservoir in a pull config at the top position. It took me an entire day to find extra screws that were the correct size to be able to mount the fans in push. I also need to find some type of silicon grommets/rings/pads for the pump to sit on because right now I can hear vibrations against the case which are mildly annoying.
 

 
The loop is currently filled with distilled water and will remain this way for a day to make sure no major problems crop up

im guessing the desk you have is just stock 'my parrents gave this to me when they baught the classic 80's secritary desk and they hide all the fucking nutty bars in there so now im stuck with this shit ikea and they HAVE ALL MY NUTTY BARS!!!!!!!!!!''
 
or is your desk something else?

I need this in my life...
 
Also, I do some Circular Gallifreyan writing with my girlfriend, and she made a small business out of it. Here's a few pictures of our stuff-

I might be willing to get you some design stuff for your case if you wanted. We'll see!

It's been completely seamless so far. Just bolt it in and leave it to it...
 
TBH from all of the research I did it's not that much better than the H100i. It's bigger, that's for sure. There were a couple of reasons I went with it..
 
Firstly it's got 140mm fans which are quieter than 120mm fans (the 120s scream unless I reduce the speed).
 
Secondly, it's not made by Coolit. I hate Coolit, they're a bunch of fannys. Basically I had an Eco leak, destroy my top GTX 480 (I was running SLI) and the motherboard and the best they could do was tell me to soak all of my parts in distilled water (which I wasn't going to do) and then rudely told me that was that.
 
Not a company I like. I know that Corsair are far better than that but tbh? I was put off for life. I lost over £350, Coolit are just a bunch of cheap asses who don't look after their customers properly.
 
The H110 is made by Asetek or one of the other OEMS...

Hum... may i ask who your sponsors are? Because you don't seem to mention any...

DAT Rad Tower!!! (Get it ? Rad? hahaha...ha...)

Haha, true. There was a guy selling a few hectolitres on Fleabay about two
years ago. Was not aware of 649, thanks for that.
EDIT:

Agree, it would fit the paint theme of this build very well IMHO.

one of the coolest looking builds I've seen!

Nice  :)  I tried to clean it up a little following your original post.

You mad. It's a Mac it can't do anything.

such savings. much performance. many hacks. wow.

Haha, my heating unit (i.e. HELIOS) isn't in service yet :lol:
 

  Thanks!
 

As a fellow Linux enthusiast, I shall allow it.
OK, I've done a bit more testing. I have now also successfully managed to force
a shut off with BOINC. Touching the chipset heat sink is pretty much impossible
even when running that. After shutting off, the machine repeatedly attempts to
turn itself on again (a pretty cool feature I must say), but shuts off each time
during the next 20 minutes or so, which very much sounds like an overheating
protection mechanism to me. Since the only thing getting hot is the chipset,
I am now very confident that that is indeed the issue.
I have now ghetto-mounted the San Ace 80 mm fan onto the chipset cooler and will
be running some more tests, let's see how things go. Otherwise I'll need to find
a beefier chipset heat sink, but it's going to be tricky to mount with the way
the mounting system is designed on this board.

Stuff to come, bad news and questions
 
I've been working on some of the 3D models of the metal work that need to be cut for the case. Unfortunately I have had to remove some of the pieces because the quote I got from the metal place for all of them was around £200 with powder coating (around £15). A bit of a shame but I was asking for a lot of pieces and a lot of work to be done to them. Might end up having to make the pieces myself despite not having a box folder.
Quick preview of the parts:

 
Some more bad news, the fan on my current GPU (GTX 560) has started rattling and it appears to be a problem with the bearing inside. I'll have to buy an aftermarket cooler for it to be able to sell the old rig in working condition (also I haven't heard from the friend who was interested in buying for over a month now, probably won't be able to sell it). The fan on my brand new PSU is also has a slight rattling, considering getting an RMA on it or a refund so I can upgrade to a more powerful one. My hard drive have also started rattling on top of the whining noise so It might reach the end of its life time soon. Mouse has been glitching for a while now so I'll have to buy a new one.
This all adds up to quite a bit and as I might not be able top sell the old rig, I'm not going to be able to afford much of the rest of the build.
Never the less I shall be continuing the build with more "ghetto" means.
 
Onto the questions
Could anyone recommend an after market cooler for my 560? Something good and cheap
Anyone interested in buying a PC? (Cambrigheshire, UK only) I5-2400, 8GB ram, GTX 560, 500GB HDD, windows 7.(for further info or questions message me) around £275
Any suggestions on my PSU problems?
Does anyone have the dimensions for the window on the TJ-07 side panel? Size of acrylic? Size of hole? placement on side panel?
Recommendations on a cheap and quiet 500GB or 1TB HDD?
How do I get the original size pictures embedded in posts? All my pictures are around 4400x3300 but shrink when I put them in a post.
Can you damage RAM by overclocking/overvolting it? I have a pair of 1333Mhz dimms and want the timings to match my 1866Mhz dimms.
Can you cache a seconday drive with SRT? I've only heard it being done to to primary one.
 
Other than this I should have an update on modding coming some time in the next few days.

That's really nice! Huge desks are the way to go!

Dat title, but:
 

My bad, the night shot for the red and white build was where I got that one from

I think you need more radiator...  you're risking overheating...

Linus this one needs doing for the elderly and anyone else not tech savvy <3 the difference between laptop, netbook and tablets ?? asking you cause my nan asked me and i thought that would be a great tech quickie

Wow.  Not only are you guys flooding the thread with unnecessarily negative and extremely nonconstructive comments, but you're blaming the OP for 'setting himself up' to get flamed?  Wow.  What a disgusting lack of class in this thread.
 
Windspeed advised the OP that the RAM would not run at the rated speed.  That is constructive and useful information.  I see nothing but mindless hate from everyone else.
 
Why is this build automatically a failure simply because it's not the gaming rig you would build?  I thought people here appreciated overkill and extreme power.  Now 8 SSDs connected to an LSI RAID card is considered disgraceful?  What the actual hell?  I for one am looking forward to seeing such a massive array all put together in a build.  It's obviously not a build made for freaking Minecraft; why are you all treating it as such?
 
If you're confused, how about a simple 'why' instead of calling the OP stupid and insisting his money is being wasted?
 
Damn.  I don't enter these threads expecting to see the equivalent of the YouTube comments section.

I think you should buy an old Pentium 4 Extreme and overclock to 6GHz with SLI GTX 295's

Good question, I decided to go for blue fans because I still wanted blue accent lighting for the system when its powered on so it matches all the other LEDs I have incorporated in my desk setup. Plus, I still wanted all the components to look uniform in color when the system was powered off.

There's nothing wrong with liking a game that is far superior in every way... 
 
It's not too much to ask that the game engine gets updated every game is it now?
