Now here we moved everything into the 680i mainboard based system. You can see there's a lot more space in-between the cards. Thus two BFG 8800 GTX'es Water cooled edition in SLI will fit here .. it was still a pretty tight fit though. Look at the next photo where I'll zoom in for you a little.

So as you can see there is a lot more space to work with now. But I really wish that the fittings would be of the "flexi" kind. So it would have been able to position the tubing in a far better way (horizontal).

Again I had to learn something the hard way; a too short tubing connection in-between the cards will result into the stiff tubing to pinch and thus halt the actualy water-flow and that's not a good thing when you have your rig running on steroids.

Since we'll use these cards only shortly before returned to BFG I decided to make a simple yet effect method to get the flow going, hey it works. But these should be good pointers for you to remember.

Well a little UV reflective material and a little black light can make that system look tremendously sexy for sure. The "Ooh and Aah" factor. And it's not even near a finished state but how cool does that look huh ? BTW if you buy a black-light go check out your bed-sheets with it and do a little googling, hehe.
