System Building Competition - OPEN SYSTEM Category
Build Name: QuakeCon 800D
The inspiration for this build is an annual gaming convention held in Dallas, TX around the July - August timeframe. QuakeCon is North America's largest LAN party, the largest free LAN party in the world, and usually runs over a period of four days.
I decided to show my love for this annual event by using QuakeCon as my central build theme. The colors are black and orange.

Cooling Equipment:
I utilized a dual-loop water-cooling setup in a push-pull fan configuration with a quad (4x120mm) radiator at the top and a dual (2x120mm) radiator on the bottom. I modified the top to accommodate the 480 radiator and mounted the bottom 240 radiator on edge with ventilation holes in the side panels. I used a single reservoir mounted in the front 5.25" drive bays with 2 separate reservoir sections in it. The radiator grills are MNPC Tech Pro-Line '360 Degree Rotating' Slotted Radgrills.
The case exterior was powder-coated orange and the interior a flat black.
In this view you can see the vivid orange & black color scheme utilized throughout. All of the 800D LED's were changed to orange.
Angled View
Here you can see the custom illuminated power supply cover with the QuakeCon logo and the custom SLI bridge. You can also see part of the lower radiator assembly through the rad grill.
