It will be a long process as the white Enthoo Primo won't be released until the end of February/ Early April, although i will be purchasing some parts this week!

Pictures to follow of course!

*EDIT*
I've changed the size of the fittings and tubing to 16/10mm as i will need the smaller diameter to help me route the tubing! My goal is to have as little tubing on display as possible, hopefully this will give me the clean look i'm hoping for!

I decided to do away with the pre braided cables from corsair and do the job myself! I ofcourse am using that "famous" brand of sleeving! I have uploaded some shots of my work so far further in this thread! Anyway all the parts have been purchased, i'm now waiting patiently for Phanteks to release the case and for OcUK to send it to me!!

I was going to use White sleeved cables, the Corsair ones that are in my OP. Not sure if that will be too much white?

I was going to use black tubing just as a contrast to the white.

 

[MorleySA]

Thinking about it, I kind of agree! I don't think I will go quite as vivid as purple, maybe go black cables?

 

[MorleySA]

Love the build. It's pretty similar in theme to mine although I'm trying to go white/purple. I'll do a topic for it if people are interested. What GPU are you going for? The KFA2 white pcb 770?

I'll be using the GTX 780 in my current setup, it already has the XSPC water block on it with back plate

 

[MorleySA]

daaaaaaaaamn, this is going to look good

I really hope it turns out how i think it will!

You can never have too much white!

Thats my thoughts exactly....hence the name WHITE OUT

I see lot of nice projects lately, need to start my own soon, but waiting until Case Labs releases S8

Seeing all these nice build logs has made me want to do my own! I do love Caselabs cases! i was tempted to do a build in the M8, love that case!

I haven't yes 100% settled on which fans to use, so i am open to suggestion on this!

 

[MorleySA]

Small update, my XSPC dual bay res for my D5 has failed on me! So I've changed the res to the Monsoon version 2 D5 dual bay res!

Anyway some of the parts have been ordered so pictures to follow!!

[MorleySA]

A slight update....but just a teaser!!

Now i've got a lot of work to do!!

 

[MorleySA]

I have thought about it to be honest! think i'll use my existing one atm....i'm seelving the the cables as we speak lol will photo the result in a little while..... getting the hang of it!

 

[MorleySA]

I didn't order the fittings from OcUK, they never seem to have stock of the Monsoon fittings

 

[MorleySA]

Another delivery, i've waited so long for the stock of these to come in, the AX240 in white is hard to come by! Anyway a little update for now! Yet another delivery from OcUK tomorrow!

Enjoy the pictures.....

 

[MorleySA]

As much as i'd love a white PCB graphics card, due to currently having a 780GTX i'm only going to buy an additional one to go with the build...

On that note i had another delivery from OcUK today......

All parts have been brought now, all i need is the White Enthoo Primo!!!

 

[MorleySA]

I will be adding white LED's to blocks, and i have thought about plastidip coating the metal parts white i think it's something i might consider when I've seen how it looks it all together!

 

[MorleySA]

My major concern is how that copper will look compared to the rest of the colour scheme....

 

[MorleySA]

What is the best way to paint copper anyway? i've read conflicting things about it... surely plastidip would work ok in that instance?

 

[MorleySA]

Where did you get your sleeving from Roady?

I've ordered some more, silly i didn't order enough last time round! will post pictures of all of it once i'm finished!

 

[MorleySA]

In my boredom i decided to play around with the fittings and take some shots for you guys! Hope you like them!

 

[MorleySA]

They don't come with the black disc, they are sold separately at a £1 each!

 

[MorleySA]

Another update, i started sleeving some cables today, my progress so far......

*^* D5 Pump before i sleeved the cables

*^* My 1st attempt!

*^* Not sure this is neat enough....

*^* CPU 8-Pin power cable
