The Extreme IV v2
I Am currently working on a school project where i have build an own computer case from scratch and the idea is to fill it with "extreme hardware".

5x Scythe Slip Stream (temporary)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (temporary)

Water Cooling:
EK-Supremacy - Acetal + Nickel
EK-Reservoir Combo DCP 4.0
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (240)
2x EK-FC6870 - Acetal+EN Nickel
2x EK-FC6870 Backplate
EK-FC Bridge TRIPLE
EK-FC Link BLANK

Now lets see some pictures!

The rear plate will be screwed in to the motherboard plate. You can also see the front.
I choose to only have one 5.25 "for a fan controller because i dont need an optical drive.

It has been a while since I updated but have had other things for me so haven't had the time to upload the pictures. As you can see, I mounted some parts out of the water cooling in the computer. I had to remove the plates that lock out the power supply as the res was to high.

Took the fan control from the other project, I will buy a new one if i need to some day.

I also changed fans to 5 Phobya Nano-G 12.

I put a fill port on the bottom so I can drain the whole system easily.

As this was my first time to install watercooling I put a lot of paper in the system while I was testing the watercooling. The gpu blocks didn't fit but i am working on a solution so stay tuned!

Looking nice so far :thumbsup:

 

Wish I had school projects like that :rolleyes:

 

 

School project! The best I ever did was a small 9V power supply!

 

 

I made a basic signal generator and variable power supply. I could only have hoped to do something like this. Good work :thumbsup:

 

Thanks guys! :rolleyes:
