Absolutely love it, we need more builds with green in them, down with blue and red up with green!

Looks really good, only thing I would change is the LEDs, green or white, just looks like there are too many colors imo. Otherwise, congrats dawg,

That unsleeved PCI-E power cable is killing me...other than that though the build looks absolutely stunning. Amazing work! :D

 

If you don't mind me asking, why did you use two reservoirs?

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

The LED's are actually UV.  The coolant is actually UV reactant.  The effect won't work without the lights.

All of the cables will be re-done.  I'm going to order extensions soon.

 

The two res' are actually two loops.  The GPU loop is on the 560 rad, and the CPU/MOBO block is on the 480 & 240 rads.

If the titan is the first most powerful, and this is the 2nd most powerful, then why don't more people have this?

OK, Some of you guys are missing the allusion to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".  The Computer in that novel is called "Deep Thought".  When it is turned on, it tells everyone it is the second most powerful computer... but it will design the MOST powerful computer...The Earth...  

 

My use is a tongue-in-cheek reference, because I'm a Douglas Adams fan.

The fans alone are around $650. Very nice build @Mindtrick I'm fond of your fan choice since I have 6 of those NF-F12 iPPC 2000 and 1 NF-A14 iPPC 2000

Thanks!  This has been a year-long process, which saw the first iteration of this build in a Corsair 900D.  Please, for God's sake, DO NOT BUY a 900D!!!  That case is a piece of crap!!!

In any case, I had to buy the fans in a few batches due to their rather high cost.

Yea, the price for the 900D is close enough to a CaseLabs SMA8 that I would pick that over the 900D in a heartbeat.

I take offense that you'd think I'd be naïve enough to talk about a gpu being the most powerful computer. :angry:

Ah. Depends on what task your talking about. The 295x2 still kicks the titan x's butt in gaming. :)
