Rehousing my PC

Nice.

I am thinking of getting this case for my new system.

Can you get a gpu, and mobo water block for that water cooler system drag?

There's no reason why not. Effectively all you would be doing is adding extra loops into the system. I intend (when I do my i7 upgrade) to get a mobo with built in w/c support on the Chipset. Then I'll just run an additional loop from the CPU through the chipset and back to the reservoir.

One of the biggest improvements from the original Aquagate to the MAX is that they have made the radiator a seperate unit. In my original Aquagate, the radiator was housed in the box with the reservoir and pump. This meant that the radiator was unable to remove enough heat from the water for extreme use. With the MAX, you've got a 2x120mm fan radiator, which is providing plenty of cooling. Combined with that, the pump is capable of a 450litre/hour flow rate, which is pretty powerful.

As a result, my CPU rarely strays more than a couple of degrees over ambient temperature, and that's with a 25% overclock. I would definitely be able to push the CPU quite a bit further if my crappy motherboard could handle it.

All in all, this is a very reasonably priced all in one kit, and it offers very good performance. And the best thing is that it's designed to integrate easily into the Coolermaster HAF and Cosmos cases. All of these cases have pre-drilled holes for mounting the radiator into the roof of the case.

I would highly recommend either of the components (the HAF and the Aquagate MAX) individually, but together they are awesome. And they are well priced for someone on a budget.

Oh I see, usually most internal w/cing kits have the rad with the pump and res, so I thought maybe you brought a extra rad and added it to your loop. I'm definately gonna be going for this.

There are case mods, and then there's... desk mods?
