Really didn't think those would
Align perfectly without using rotary fittings
Definitely already unique looking mate

Same thought, had the double rotaries at the ready but so glad i dont need to use them as it would have created more distance between each of the units.

Barely enough space as it is lol

Sometimes you just get lucky
Hopefully that's a good sign for your build
Hardly ever lines up for me
I decided very early in my watercooling life
Just to buy everything rotary
Especially since no option to just walk into a store here
And get more fittings
Next day delivery is great nowadays
But sometimes you just want it today lol

Good question actually
I forgot about that
Would 4 impellers cause any significant flow issues?
Or merely for aesthetics?
Too lazy to read back to see what he originally said :cry:

I dont think the impellers would cause too much issue. Some times they can rattle a bit, so maybe one is better

Next day or even same day delivery at times lol!

I've had a few amazon delivered same day, no idea how they do it but worth the membership!

Im actually more inclined to do 2 impellers now, one at the top and one at the bottom. Also removing some of the RGB too, its too much cabling to mess around with. Luckily the whole backside of the RGB section comes away in one piece separate from the rest of the unit.

Also:

Edit: its an Orange...

The flow meters look great! :cool:

Do you still plan to remove all but one of the impellers?

Thats the plan though i might just end up removing 2 of the 4 to make it look abit more even. Comes down to how much noise these impellers make tbh. From experience, from other brands i've used they make a lot of noise.. like a rattle.

yeah, I think maybe just the top two would look good

Had some time to play about tonight with the different configs. Not enough time to take some proper photos though so will do that another day. In the process of sending the manufacturer the CAD files for the Radiator enclosure.

Shoutout to Arya from AquaCustoms for the CAD work once again, guys a magician.

Finally, managed to snap photos of the rest of the gear including some of the fittings that Bitspower sent me for the project. Feels like Christmas, had so much open and unbox :p.

I hadn't thought about the noise aspect and was actually thinking that the 4 impellers would look great, adding some interest even.

On that note I do think 2 would look better than one but the noise is something to consider.

P.S. Pics look good, as usual. That tubing looks awesome.

Hmmmmm
You sure it's not a tangerine
Or a satsuma or a clementine
I mean there's like 400 variations of oranges :cry: :cry:
How am I meant to judge scale with an unknown orange variety :cry::cry:

Lol thanks mate

Plenty of time to mess around with it, i'll come back to this at some point and experiment a little to see if it does indeed make that much noise.

Having everything here now, its so very tempting to bang a 4090 and a 14700k into this but the psu would blow itself to pieces :cry:.

A few renders of the lower radiator enclosure. We're looking at making this out of aluminium and then powdercoating in white to match. Alternative would be to use thick Acrylic but undecided yet as i'm not sure what the local machinists can do for me in this aspect. I've added a bracing point at the front for added rigidity incase we decide to use a material which is less capable of holding serious weight.

Unless there's a significant cost factor
Think I would always choose the aluminium option

Will find out next week which manu's can do what.

Trying to limit the cost of this somewhat but keep having the urge to put something more powerful in like xx700k chip paired with something like a 4070 super would be awesome in this form factor.
