Just curious, is that air in the Ram Sink lines?

Once again, a no-nonsense rig by Biohazard.

Side note: What ever happened to the external water-cooling box since you got the Monster Cube?

It's the same water that's in the 1/2" lines going to the GPU block......... :mrgreen:

My external water box is still sitting in my workshop, it's been stripped of water cooling parts and the paint is sort of messed up, but the basic box is still here.......... :shock:
If you want it, you are more than welcome to it if you want to pay for shipping....... :rolleyes:

This may not interest most, but it's big news for me,.............:jawdrop: After all these years, my Bio-Hazard rig has made it into PC Mag, although it's only a small pic in the and a little info in the mod section, just that my rig made it into the mag has totally made my day.

MCW60 GUP block, an MPC655 pump, dual radiators, and seven fans.
looks like they need a proof reader

That they do it seems........should be MCP655 pump as well. I guess that's one small reason the company is being broken up and sold off to the highest bidder........... :shock:

Just a small front panel update while waiting for somemore water cooling parts.......... 8) I can't seem to leave well enough alone for very long I guess. Anyway, I made some mesh fan grills for all the front panel fan openings as well as a mesh 5.25 blank face plate for the un-used drive bay and also got a removeable HD rack as well as a new 250 gb WD drive.

I got bored waiting on some of my new water cooling components, so I decided to mess around and reconfigure some of the stuff that I already had on hand............... 8)
Now I've got a small 3/8" loop with a single MCR120 radiator, MCW60 and MCP350 pump for the video card, it still keeps temps under 30C at this time of year. And my CPU loop is a simple 1/2" loop using a APOGEE block, MCP655 pump and a MCR220 dual 120 fan radiator. I also switched up the liquid coloring between the VGA and CPU loops just for fun.......... :mrgreen:

Congrats!!! Must of been very satisfying to see that in the mag. Awesome.

My first introduction to PC water-cooling was from Biohazard, and remember telling everyone about that old external setup. You setups are probably the most 'non-artistic' cases I've viewed.

Every time I see Bio's case, I think... maybe he needs to add a little color.
So I thought I'd do some really quick concepts in paint.

I actually wondered if the fans could be moved into the bio-hazard logo. But that's too difficult for me to cut and paste. But could cosmetics ever dictate over functionality on Bio's case. No. LOL.

I've always wanted to do a military theme.

I would rather use a more modern Canadian cammo pattern myself though.

Maybe something more patriotic?

Actually I think this would look nice if it were candy colors right over the silver aluminum.

Personally I like a little color on a case, but it also depends on the location of the case. I'm not sure I'd want any of these in my living room! But a little color can go a long way. With a serious investment in time and $ in this rig, you'd really want to think about your design. But for allot of us, I say go for it.

I'm not into all that fancy artistic kind of junk, full function is the only thing I like, that's why most of my rigs are brushed aluminum, the machine look as they say. I have no need for all that other sort of thing, I concider it to be a complete and total waste of hard earned time and money.
I know a lot of folks that are into all that case molding and funky paint and do some great work, it's what they like, but it's not for me. I build my systems for me and to please me, no one else. I guess I'm a bit self centered and could care less what others think of my work.................. :mrgreen:
