All the nice gear and the "meh" H50. Need to go full custom water cooling.

@cbremer83 yeah that would be fun - but also another grand in parts - i'd rather get another 5870 eyefinity 6 edition and two more dell u2410s and a triple head monitor stand

[behangman]

dude, you sound like your about to kill your self XD. Nice system though, but why on earth do you got 12GB memory? I got 4gb on my rig and never seen it fully used, under GTA 4 or anything

[ethr95awd]

@behangman cause i am a programmer and when i fire up some virtual machines and a couple of IDEs i can push 8gb used easy

[odinata]

how much extra for the window panel?

[ethr95awd]

@odinata $40 from coolermaster's website

[spikemaul]

Nice build but clean up your work area.

[hekthorrickylocko]

nice bro !!, hey man did you needd to use any PSU extention with this case? , i mean, eight pin cpu power conection, sata, 24 pin , etc.etc. thanks man!

[ZndChannel]

Nice video and very good build. Just got a question, what's your temps at 4 GHz with the H50?

[TheJohnorr1]

you need more fans.lol

[cbremer83]

@ethr95awd No where near a grand.

EK HF water block = $60

Danger Den pump = $100

Swiftech 360mm rad = $55

Tubing = $30

Tube style Res = $40

Use barbs instead of compression fittings and save on fittings.

If you add GPU blocks, $100-160 each depending on brand. 

So, $285 CPU only and $480-605 with GPUs in single loop. That's all brand new and based on Mirocenter prices. You can save more on used blocks, rads, and res. Would sill buy new pump and tubes.
