This was my first full custom water loop build from early 2011, which won a $1,000 ModsRigs draw back in September 2013. This was an extremely powerful high-end rig at the time, and SLI was widely supported. Unfortunately many of the build details and photos were lost when EVGA took down their ModsRigs site “for renovations” but it never came back online. Unfortunately EVGA appears to be winding up their business now, so it is unlikely ModsRigs will ever return. Here’s what details I was able to salvage through the internet archive:
