2 Panaflow 120mm fans in the back
1 ?120mm fan on the rad
3 junk/left over from other cases 80mm fans in front
probably over kill for the fans but its still not nearly as loud as my old
Slk-900 with TT Smartfan @ 5000Rpm altho the temps are about the same 31-34C as they are now..oh well

Laptop with screen chopped off(not by choice) works like a champ

Nice, but excessive tubing

Yea no kidding, think i used to much as well, but.. eh.. learning exp i guess,
when i drain and re fill this cause i think i have the In on the cpu block on the wrong side and just redo everything, and get some longer Sata cables and reverse 2 of the drives, maybe cut a hole in the back of the mobo tray and run the main power throu it, i think i have about 5-6 inches of tube left.. the kit came with 8Feet!...

Nice setup, I have the same kit but my pump didn't work and I'm waiting for a new one. I was thinking of having the exhaust fan before the radbox like that in the back, but I was afraid it would increase the temps since hot air was being forced into the rad. Have you tried it without and does it make a difference? I was either going to mount the fan like yours or put it on the other side of the rad so one fan pushes and one fan pulls, hopefully giving me twice the cooling power. Like I said I don't have a working pump yet so I haven't been able to try it out yet.

yea, i dont know about the fan situation, i might add another 120mm on the back of the rad blowing off of it, so i keep with the same intake in the front and blowing in the back, the case is so big, and the front is pretty much open minus the drive bay covers, before i had the water cooling setup the air coming off the back was cold, or at least air temp, but it was far from hot, same with my power supply fan which is blowing Down, and my mini table that its sitting on is a perfect fit cause the air just blows stright down, between the wood on the table,
but...uhh another 120mm fan.. that would just be to loud, already its not that much quieter, if my 'old' system was 50-60db (just made the number up) this is still around 30-45db (made that number up as well) mostly due to the panaflow 120mm's on the back
