Huh, few fans more and you could use it as drone, lol ;-) Very nice design anyway.

Too large and overkill cooling.
Design is clean and nice, that's plus point.
Eh, it's mostly just really wide. It otherwise isn't all that big considering what's in it, and at least it's interesting to look at. I do agree the cooling is excessive, especially considering there didn't appear to be any mention of overclocking.
Anyway this is definitely one of the more interesting RotM submissions lately.

Great rig!! Love the colors and straight lines!
"Overkill cooling....?!" Like there is a thing. I can imagine speaking up if there was insufficient cooling, but to scoff at "overkill...!?" Ha!!

In my computer, I have a FX-6300 overclocked to 4.5GHz with a ~650g air cooler. If I turned off Cool'n'Quiet, I'd probably be able to reach 4.8GHz. I've never seen the temperature exceed 64C, on a hot day. This heatsink is sucking up a lot of ambient heat from the motherboard and GPU too. This CPU has a significantly higher TDP than a modern i7, and is much more prone to being maxed-out. So, when someone has not one, not two, but three radiators cooling non-overclocked parts in a relatively open case, then yes, there is such thing as overkill. Don't forget the wattage involved powering all those fans and the water pump, and the collective noise of it all.
It's a great cooling system, there's no denying it. But I'd like to see those parts get overclocked and the resulting temperatures. That's exciting to me. But without an overclock, this cooling system is so overkill that the creator could probably turn off all the fans and still have safe temperatures after an hour of load. So in another perspective, why spend so much money on such an amazing system and not take advantage of it?
