I had a lot on my plate during this build because i had to fix a buddies computer. (seen to the left) Then i had to worry about mine.

The reference cards were supposed to be water cooled but Frozencpu just happen to run out the waterblock i wanted so i just decided to wait until i got a little bit more money in the bank for this project.

The Alpahcool 480mm radiator was rusted from the inside out (just my luck) so i decided to go with Koolance for my top 480 radiator.

Getting the first parts of the second loop going. I won't actually be using this becasue i dont have any GPU blocks but i think it looks cool.

I might be going about this at a weird angle.

I installed my flow meter in a place that doesn't look that bad. I can see it from where i sit so that's all well and good.

Filling the reservoir and my horrible cable management behind the case is revealed.

Managed to jam the right side panel on and now time to install Windows 7 Ultimate.

My real external drive didn't register so i had to use this to install windows, my hard drive anchoring it down is the only thing keeping it from walking off

the table.

Why did you do 3-way cross fire when you could have gotten 1 amazing card with that money? Looks epic though :)

I used an entire 100 pack of zip ties on the entire thing... just every possible 8 pin pci and eps connectors are taken up so there is a lot of cables to manage.

I'm running 1 asus 2560x1440 monitor for gaming and 2 asus pa248q monitors.... I do autoCAD for my major and I hate multi-monitor gaming... trifire may be overkill but that's what it's all about right!

Looks incredible, I love how the RAM is on either side of the CPU on X79 boards. Nicely done, hopefully it'll become Build of the Week.
