Though I might show off the work I put into my own personal rig.
Planning to upgrade the CPU when the Boradwell-E's are released and may eventually
get some blocks for the GPU's to add in the water loop.
Spec:
Case - Corsair 760T
Mobo - Asus rampage 3 formula
CPU - i7-980 6-core OCd @ 4.4ghz
Ram - 12gb of Corsair Dominator
GPU - x2 MSI 980 Ti's
PSU - Evga 1000wt platinum
HDD - x2 Velociraptor in raid 0, 300gb ea.
SSD - 240gb Corsair GT (OS)
Water loop - Custom
(might scrap this later)

damn, 2 980s? what are your specs on them? did you get the high end one's or the more lower end?
they are 980 TI's the higher end ones that are just below the Titan X's
You have all this power but only 12gb or ram and 600gb memory (non SSD Memory because I assume you are going to put your OS on that) You are going to need more space than that man. XD I have a TB and an SSD for my OS and I have just about filled it
lol yea at the time(2011) 840gb of total space felt like I wouldn't be needing anymore then that, till now with games that take up like 25gbs of space XD but I will be fixing that this coming year as well as upping to 16gb of DDR4. Don't get me wrong though this thing is still plenty fast apart from the PCI-E 2.0 holding back the GPU's lol.
lol yup, cause I have been wanting to do sli sense I got this rig replacing the single 580.
Do you have to keep refilling the reservoir? or is it a pre-sealed system?
Still using Fans due to the UK not being so hot as the US, but with my body in the room all of the time, it's becoming a sexy problem :C
Plus, fans do love gathering dust, which means regular cleaning with compressed air cans xwx

Uhh, Its almost exactly like a pre-filled system but its more of on the custom side of things where I did all the work of setting it up and cutting the tube to length.
Only need to fill the loop once then maybe top it off once the air bubbles get out of the loop but that's about it and they recommend changing it every 2 years.
Water loops still expels the heat out into your room through the radiator but does it more efficiently then just fans even when parts are overclocked like mine causing them to last longer. XD
Oh yes, lots of air movement = lots of dust and water loops cut down on the amount of fans needed which mean less cleaning of your case but filters help too of course.

Mhmm, I currently have three fans, side of the case, CPU and they front bott of the case which is impossible to reach unless you take the HDD out.
Hadn't overheated yet, but cleaning every three-four weeks just for the fans is getting annoying, especially when they start to rattle a little.
The only reason I asked if its refillable or not is because one of my friends used baby oil =p
The only thing stopping me playing games in max such as Rome 2 (Mainly strats since there's a lot on the screen at once) is my CPU, still riding an AMD Quad Core 4.5 ghz, and it suuuucks :C

Man I love custom computer builds! So much fun to watch people talk/build gaming pcs<3 PC for life! also lovely designs!
thx! I just love building them and I still want to do more to this,
i want to buy a watercooling Swiftech H240-X2 PRESTIGE Kit but i fear about leaking ...
They are pretty neat but tbh their are better coolers out there, them being EK, Corsair, NZXT, and now Evga.
I should think so, I would do a leak test before putting in your rig though.
