very nice... clean and simple, which makes it look 110% better than a lot of cases/systems out there. To many people overdo it with lights and crap... yours is just the exact right combination! well... that's my (Canadian) $0.02 worth (so, about 1/5th of a US cent LMAO) ~NortH~

yeah, they are kind of a large rad, but then again they are passively cooled so need a larger surface area. A few friends have used them with varied amounts of success... they are great for a silent system though. ~NortH~

this has to be one of my favorite... extremely clean and simple... that is more impressive to me than all the bling bling in cases... just a great wire management job, nice parts, nice case, clean, well organized! I also really like the use of the sound dampening material... not overdone and...

Xoxide has been around a long time... I have ordered tons of stuff from them personally and have never had any issues - they are legit and the prices are more than decent. ~NortH~

I prefer mesh in the side panel as opposed to acrylic windows, but that is just my preference - and waste baskets actually work very well for that sort of thing. ~NortH~

I actually just got off the phone with my buddy who is working with me on the phase part of the build. He dug up his guages, has the vacuum pump ready, a whole new container of R134A - we just have to go and get the Schrader valves and the extra tubing and hardware I will be using in it... we...

actually, the case will easily fit a full 17" LCD - I was going to make a 17" LCD fit on the top and raise up, but in the end decided I didn't want something that large in/on the case - I just wanted something small, that would *fit in* to the look and build and can be used to display system...

I just shuddered when it arrived and I unpacked it LMAO I can say I had never seen a case quite set up like that before... and quickly went to getting rid of the *ugly* :D ~NortH~

The phase unit arrived and it works like a charm (thanks Wes) - now I am just waiting on my custom panels and a few other parts to be done so I can start on the cutting and building of this thing... collecting parts is only exciting for so long :cool: here is the phase unit when I tested it...

I have 2 of them... here is the 'Purple' case (awaiting a system to be put in it) - a 901: and this is the NorthWater Ice Monster, a 601: Abit 3rd Eye motherboard with an Opty144, cooled by an Arctic Web 437watt peltier block and both of them side by side (before...

the phase unit will fit in the side that houses the optical drives and hard drives. some redesign and re-organization will be needed, but it easily fits. ~NortH~

Kikboxes (modnation) do awesome work... you probably couldn't find better than them! ~NortH~

I am just starting this build... I have accumulated the majority of needed parts and am now just waiting on some custom pieces to be made and then I can actually start the building process. Here's the plan/idea: Mountain Mods U2-UFO case (picked one up really cheap on another forum, along...

you did one helluva job on that build! I am very impressed and love the looks of it... clean, sleek, compact, water cooled... and a triple rad to boot... very well done! ~NortH~

really nice job... I think it looks great... nice, clean, good parts. nice system! ~NortH~
