Small changes - replaced the PCI-E with a white one and replaced the one remaining SSD data cable with a white one too. Decided to redesign water loop to allow for window clearance. Unfortunately, one of the compression fittings I had had its o ring too damaged to use, so had to temporarily...

Just a bit of an update - spent the weekend finishing sleeving cables and completing the wiring. The 6 fans on the 480 and 240 radiators were connected up to the Phanteks hub, and the 4 led fans for the "case" connected to a 4 pin PWM hub, both of which are being controlled by the built in...

Thanks everyone, tubing is now popping into place with a nice sound (damaged two o rings when I took a closer look at my previous efforts) - small bits at a time for me. Radiators are all plumbed up now, "case" onto desk, everything is ready to go, just need to strip down my current build, open...

Just a minor update - fan cables extended and resleeved for the radiators so that they could all reach the phanteks hub.

Absolutely gorgeous

Question about the PETG fittings - does the pipe have to secure down past the o-ring inside of the compression fitting as well as the one on the screwhead? Quick pictures of me just mocking things up with an old broken AMD MB with serial ports and a ex WC 670 GTX. The res is hardtubed up now...

So got some more energy today to work on this. Backplate completed with cable cut outs, as well as passthroughs for the inlet and outlet tubings. Fans installed in their correct orientation, with the wiring going through the wood and out of the back to ensure a completely clean and wirefree...

New parts!! Must say that that Phanteks Glacier res is absolutely gorgeous

New parts arriving tomorrow to get the entire thing completed - now to just find the motivation

I like two monitors, I often work on one screen and watch movies etc on the other, or have a browser on one, office on the other etc

So just did a small amount tonight. Took the desk apart again so that I could wrap the desktop, thought I would take a few pictures just to show the mounting of the monitors. The back panel has not yet been wrapped. For those eagle eyed, yes, that is a draught protector for letter boxes...

Thanks everyone - I am trying to work on it as and when, but I am not as quick as I used to be. Im finding battling myself is the biggest challenge at the moment. At the moment, my Antec1200 has a dimastech momentary switch for power in red, but I am thinking that that wont go with the colour...

Sorry - please delete this particular post - figured it out

I took one of my many spare cases I have lying around and drilled all the rivets out to give me access to the rear IO tray. I also removed the motherboard tray in the same way and both were painted gloss white with my compressor using automotive paint. The rear of the case was then routered...

Why hello again everyone - its been around 5 years since I was last on here. My trusted Antec 1200 custom build has proven very reliable over the years and had gone through a few revisions, however, now I am bored. And I want a challenge. I have always liked the idea of an integrated PC into...

My bad, I'm not really good at build logs. The harddrives fit into the front trays sideways with only millimetres to spare on each side. Just an old drive showing how tightly it fits naturally. They are being anchored by resting on the HDD bay guides designed by Antec. On those guides, I...

Ok, so HDD's remounted and rewired. Mounted them sideways. Funnily enough, the case fits a normal 3.5 HDD perfectly sideways with only literally millimetres of play on either side. So, padded that out with a bit of sticky foam tape, cut holes for the power and data sata connectors and mounted...

Sorry for delay all, real life has taken priority. Hopefully going to be able to do some of this after tomorrow and into the weekend. I am looking at the partition within the case as well as mounting the HDD's sideways to give more room and provide a cleaner look.

My experience? Watercooling wise, this was my first ever attempt. PC building wise? Years. The first pictures with the green coolant and external rad being the first stage up to the stage it is now. I have never had a leak (which I am chuffed about) and just take my time with the build...

Thank you. No, nowhere near essex. Id have mag wheels as case feet if i did... :D Its just a tad over 25kg at the moment. She is a beast thats for sure but I am happy with it so far. Unlike my son however who weighs around the same, thankfully it just sits on the plank of wood on the...
