SR-2 Stacker by Paul Edwards

Graphics cards and coolant

All seemed to be going to plan, but a call from Cooler Master soon put on some added pressure. The company asked if it could use the case on its booth at CeBIT 2011, which was only two weeks away at this point. Even though I didn't even have any graphics cards at this point, I reluctantly agreed, so it was panic stations to say the least.


I was running out of options, so I contacted my good friends at EVGA and explained the dilemma with the graphic cards (or rather lack of them). EVGA's immediate response was to send four EVGA GeForce GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW my way, so I'd like to give the guys at EVGA a massive thank you for helping out at such short notice.


Once the four cards were installed, it was time to add some liquid. On this occasion, I decided to use deionised water with Primochill UV Red Dye Bombs.



However, I didn't manage to get the fan controllers swapped out in time, so I reluctantly sent the chassis to CeBIT with the blue and green ones installed. However, it still managed to receive a fantastic response.
