Xaser VI Reborn

[O_Negative]

Well it has finally happened.  Decided my old Xaser needed some improvements.  A little information about the build

 

Q9300 Core 2 Quad, OC'd to 3.4ghz   from 2008

EVGA nForce 780i SLI Motherboard   from 2008

4x2gB DDR2 at 4-4-4-12 800mhz   from 2008

EVGA GTX570HD was originally an 8800GTX OC, but that was one of two upgrades since the first build and it is 2 years ago.

Thermaltake TR2 RX850 replaced an old OCZ

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro   from 2008

Plextor 256gB SSD boot drive

3x1tB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 

1 320 gB 10,000 rpm Western Digital Raptor

LG Black 10X Blu-ray Burner

2x 24" ASUS 2ms response rate

 

A little about the case, originally the LED's in the front were blue, the inside of the case was silver and unpainted.  

 

I've always wanted to do watercooling and finally decided to take the whole thing apart and fix some of the things that had been bothering me the past 5 years.  

 

 

I was able to mount the swiftech H220 up top, but had to buy extra hosing to reach the CPU/Pump.  The case was never designed for a radiator up top but I built some brackets and made it work.

 

 

This was after the painting and some of the modifications.

 

 

Radiator was mounted, tubing run.  Just a lot of cable management left.

This was after the LED swap, cables run and everything finished up

Lol the 2nd to last pic looks like a car.

 

 

Nice mods, looks good. Stepping up to a 570 SLI soon?

[O_Negative]

Thought about SLI on a 570, but would have to upgrade to a 1000W PS, and I'll probably just wait and do a CPU, Mobo, RAM, GPU at once.  However I've wanted to do SLI since i bought this stuff in 2008, just haven't run accross the right deal for it yet.
