I've finally started on the watercooling upgrade on my main pc and working a bit on my little rig too which will be haswell based. I have stuff still on order too 4 red led bitfenix fans, more bits power fittings, xspc motherboard waterblock (xspc 7970 blocks still not in stock
) and 10 compression fittings for the little rig 
You can see from the pic below that I am going to link the two rads together with 4 90deg fittings
The second pump
Fittings I havent put in yet
Finally invested in a mechanical keyboard. This really improves typing speed
Old rad that I've no idea what to do with yet as in the first pic it was replaced with one with a port on the end of it

This is the prodigy so far It now has 2 * 250gb samsung 840 ssds and a 7200 rpm 500gb hd along with two rads for decent quiet watercooling .
Its a little messy as I havent bothered with cutting cables to size, braiding or tidying them until I get closer to finishing it.
The fans on the top rad will be replaced.

Will post up better pics another time, the H110 I ordered doesn't fit the 800d case (amateur mistake, but I did look it up but didn't double check, so had to order a h100i. Barely used H110i for sale to anyone that will give me 50 euro ).
Tri SLI scales much better than I though, give about 30% more FPS in most games and benchmarks. By god those cards can push out some heat, had to mod the case to get a fan pushing some air directly at the cards......0 -

Hmmm... That sounds tempting... I am on the cusp of ordering a Dark Rock Pro 2 at the end of the month... But a h100i at a few quid less is tempting... Hmmm... Veeery interested0 -
I'm wanting one of these cpu's but with there replacements dues out soon I cant justify paying full price for one. I will hopefully pick one up second hand at a decent price thoughSkyla Scrawny Macaroon wrote: »i7 3930k @ 4.6ghz. 0 -

He's selling a h110i not a h100i, you will need space for a 280mm rad. I would be making an offer for it right now if I had a the mounting space for it. 0 -

Point taken, sir. Funds have been all over the place so I haven't been able to start things as quick as I would like (and by the way, the SFF build was always planned as a Summer thing) but I might be able to get something up around July.
I've also been debating putting money into a (sort of needed at this point) server expansion instead.0 -
Yea I had to put money into my servers the last few months as a few where a bit long the tooth. I upgraded my dell 2950's with more ram and have 2tb drives to go in them when I stop being lazy and climb into the attic to fit them and I finished my main server enough that i'm happy with it now as covers what I need out of itSerephucus wrote: »Point taken, sir.

I've also been debating putting money into a (sort of needed at this point) server expansion instead.. On overclock3d they are selling 5520 cpu's pretty cheap if you are going to build a server btw. Was tempted to get two for a dual cpu server but I think my overclocked 970 gives similar performance to the two so its a waste for me. 0 -

This is what I have on one of my servers. I blanked out the other servers and removed part of the ip of this one. They are also all legit licenses which I paid forWhat would use your servers for lads? Virtualisation? I'm intrigued to know what the average Joe would mostly use servers for?

Why would you blank out a local ip?
I have my watchguard firewall down for the weekend after a botched upgrade but net is up and on this server is encrypted keys and licenses from my job that are worth quite a bit of money so I will take every precaution to be careful until the firewall is up. I don't want it being even easier to access my esxi servers.
Part of my job is to find ways past firewalls so maybe its a little bit of paranoia too.0
