I just love the look of that case in white. I dont really know why though.

It's definitely a sleek case. That wiring job is really neat as well, the other side always seems to end up looking crazy messy, though.

I just love the look of that case in white. I dont really know why though.

It reminds me a bit of storm-trooper armor, or MasterChief's when you can choose white for multiplayer.

WOW, I HATE white cases but that is the best case I have ever seen. They did a great job wireing it.

This thread may be old, and I apologize, but I'm new to water cooling as have recently gotten this computer and had a couple questions that I was curious if anyone could answer.

Recently, I noticed that I don't hear the liquid moving on startup from the computer. This concerns me. I have had no problems from the machine, I actually love it, and would give it a steller review.
However...I know zero about water cooling, or the maintenance of it. Does anyone know what liquid this machine uses? Or perhaps a way to tell? How about refilling it, if at all possible. The actual
liquid is what I'm more concerned about, how to tell what kind it is so I don't mix it with the wrong stuff.

Any help with this information would be most appreciated, as I can't find anything but review sites on google and this is the first decent place I've gone too that I felt I could ask.

You cannot refill it because it is a closed loop system. If you have this rig, consider yourself lucky!. The all in one coolers in my opinion are great!. It has water and a little extra stuff to reduce algae build up. I have a Corsair H-50 and it works great and don't have to mess with it. Once in a while I open the case and blow some compressed air in it to get rid of the dust build up.

Yup its a closed loop system.

At the factory they vacuumed out the air as they put the liquid in, this is why you don't hear anything moving through the system.
