That's a heck of a lot of cash you have tied up in your water cooling system, I don't think I have near that invested in mine, I'll have to add the cost of mine up one of these days..........

The Zalman itself is fairly expensive. Th 8800Blocks are more than raesonable though....I just had to buy a lot of them :/
It takes a bit to cool that much heat. Three GTX's all snug as a bug in the case would have been just WAY to hot....so if you are going to invest in the cards...might as well cool them
I'm glad you like the art DarkSynergy

Yeah man, that art is killer! I rarely use deviantART, but next time I'm on, I'll add you to my friends list.
As for the water-cooling, you are running a high-end rig, so it's really no surprise that the cooling is expensive also. The Zalman itself is expensive, as are the $200 worth of blocks...

The blocks themselves are cheap. They are half the cost of a Koolance or Danger Den full card block and apparently do just as good of job. When you get three of anything, it looks worse than it really is I think.
After working with the Reserator XT for a month, I can see why you would choose it to keep your temps in check. Its a nice one...
On the inside of the XT, there is a fair amount of room. I wonder how much could be modded and added on the interior of the unit to help in cooling but not alter the outward appearance.

Take a few pics of the inside of the thing, maybe we can comeup with a idea or to for modding..............

I will upload a few pics tonight. I took the thing apart last night to take a look around and ended up kinking one of the tubes. Fortunately the XT lets you know when there isn't any flow thanks to the flow gauge on the side. I think we would do some interesting things on the inside... perhaps.

Hi, would it be possible for you to do a line diagram for your cooling system please? I'm setting up to cool 3 8800gtx's and a quad core. Your pics are great but i'm a little (read a lot) colour blind and i'm finding it hard to see how you've plumbed your system in.
