Looks good

Meaker · 7 Jun 2015 at 13:09

Here is the proof of concept build (Note the pump/res combo I decided to go for is different to the original plan):

I'm getting the fianl functional parts over the next week. Included are some 90 degree and 45 degree rotary fittings to make the tube lengths a lot shorter, 3 PWM controlled fans (1 slim and 1 normal for radiator, 1 for the front), 1 LED light fitting for the resevoir with white dual LED, 1 black sleeved molex splitter (PSU has 2 molex and I need power for the fan splitter, pump and LEDs).

I've also got the red backplate for the GPU on order

I have also now removed the rear 92mm fan, i'll see if I want to put a different one in later.

CEUOTC · 7 Jun 2015 at 14:08

Love it mate! Cannot wait to see the final build once completed.

Meaker · 13 Jun 2015 at 22:07

Well it all fits. Tiny length of actual tubing for the coolant lol. Next step is some SERIOUS cable management but I have some ideas to really slim it down.

Meaker · 15 Jun 2015 at 17:58

Some cable sleeving and tidying has helped a lot

So that's the dock internals about done. Next step is working on the front of the unit.

CEUOTC · 15 Jun 2015 at 22:16

Looking neat

Plenty of tubing lol

Meaker · 18 Jun 2015 at 21:49

Well HOPEFULLY that is the mod bios sorted, took WAY more effort than I originally thought but fingers crossed. I'll find out either Sat or Mon.

Also tomorrow I get to look at the front of the dock to get it all closing properly and maybe investigate adding a window to the resevoir

CEUOTC · 21 Jun 2015 at 06:47

Always tweaking. I like it

Always of course

Here is the box pile lol:

CEUOTC · 23 Jun 2015 at 11:46

lol a lot of boxes buddy, big fan of the Akasa slimline erm fan

Meaker · 25 Jun 2015 at 02:50

These will be my 24/7 settings

The rough "fan" profile that the pump and fans follow.

Meaker · 25 Jun 2015 at 20:02

Well over 100fps in heaven on 8x ultra 1080p

Meaker · 26 Jun 2015 at 04:58

Here is me doing some benching

CEUOTC · 2 Jul 2015 at 10:27

Will have a look later, works computers block everything lol.

CEUOTC · 3 Jul 2015 at 06:28
