Installing - The Package & Shipping

Installation
Basically before buying you need to check if your mainboard is compatible with h2o's components and guess what? They have a product for everything so your bases are pretty much covered, which is also handy if at a later date you want to expand your system with new components.

Anyway, all Pentium 4 Socket 478 mainboards are compatible for watercooling. Why? Because it used the CPU cooler retention clips. Pentium 4 mainboards are good all the way as you can use the pins that connect the standard P4 cooler. I figure it's best we startup the photo session right now as along with photo's I can show you the entire installation procedure, which should take you no more than half an hour and a little patience.

The following pages really are a huge pictorial to give you an idea on what to expect and what to do installation wise.

Trust me, the UPS guy HATED me for this package. It's heavy ! And when I asked if delivering packaged for UPS pays much he gave me that Darth Vader choke of death look (Ed: Didn't Darth Vader wear a mask?). But what's more important was the case was very well wrapped and clear "danger" signs.

Again nicely packed in plastic and carton.

Tadaaa there she is... the Chieftec Full Tower DA-01SLD/BLD in silver color. On top you can see the radiator exhaust already.

Yeah I know it looks small, but trust me, this thing is quite huge. I'd say ~65 CM in height.
