Ouch, dude. Gonna buy another BlackOps, or getting something different?
Teh Geek Lord:
Well, I'm pondering what exactly to do here...
I have on my hands a pair of GTX 280's and Core i7 920 with 6GB of DDR3... problem is, I need some good advice for a case... Right now, I'm rocking a 900 (i've pondered the 1200) but I'm going watercooling and I'm hoping for something where I can do a dual loop (CPU and GPU loops) and keep the radiator INSIDE the case (because I'll be hefting the thing to a buddies dorm at least twice a month, external water hoses and radiators would pose a hazzard to breaking and leaking)
Suggestions?
Also, even though my hardware is pricey, my current budget is restrictive... 200 or less...
I have a few I'm thinking about, but does anyone have a brilliant case they love that would do what I want?

I'm hoping to get another one because it's such an awesome board.

Not surprised you had leaks, you used CABLE TIES. I have only seen them used in one build for that purpose before, metal threaded connectors (which I see you did in your other "no leaks" pictures), the cable tie you showed didn't even look tight :/
A guy I know had a leak once, solved it by putting some right angle connectors in it because it was a small form so it really needed them.

I'm using 7/16" ID tubing on 1/2" barbs. They don't leak at all, and I've had it running for ~3 days at a time. It leaked because I punctured the radiator.
