Up and running again....had a problem with the Riser cable which i have temp fixed until i get a revised one from the USA, but apart from that it's now golden. :)
Just in the process of doing it now.
Now this saga is turning into an epic.....ordered a ATX Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H mobo and went to fit it today only to find the mobo standoffs were different.....had to remove some which then made me realise the mobo is slightly smaller.....no biggy i...
Well it just keeps getting worse.....bought a 2nd hand mobo off ebay (needed to have blue in it) and i noticed it had a bent pin where the cpu sits.....long story short it only works with 1 stick of ram and the audio is knackered.
I have had to buy another x97 mobo which arrived today....will...
Thanks everyone. :)
I have redone the perspex (where the fan controller and temp guage sit) and replaced the darker blue vinyl with carbon fibre vinyl.
Added some more leds and UV lighting.......i'm not sure about the UV, will probs bin that idea as it might make it look naff?
@...
Just had an email from corsair saying they have dispatched a replacement....They're sending a newer model ( RM850X ) as my 850 has been discontinued. :)
ok.....finally got some time to work on it again......still not finished yet.
Went to fire it up today and nothing? Long story short, the PSU is dead......i only took the fan cover off to paint it lol......contacted Corsair and put an RMA through.
I have changed a few things here and there...
Thanks. :)
I had to put it on hold as i had car trouble.......Acrylic pipe bending is a bit of a mare if you havent done it before....not enough heat it kinks the tubing....too much and you get bubbles.....i have wasted 2 lengths so far but also have 2 good runs....a third run from the rad to...
Taller res? This thing is humongous, im not sure anyone actually makes a bigger one apart from maybe the water company lol......This case is huge btw so maybe it makes the res/pump look smaller than it actually is. :)
Well its windy and raining outside so no painting today unless it lets up later. :(
Ordered some more rubber cord. hopefully be here in a couple of days.
Well the tubing was a no go......the Nitrile solid rubber cord which you have to push inside the Acrylic tubing to stop kinking was too thick.....i ordered 12mm for my 12mm id tubing but after speaking to another supplier there is apparently a thickness tolerance of 0.65mm either way which is...
Motherboard semi fitted with Swiftech Apogee XL CPU block semi fitted onto the plastic cpu cover just for acrylic tube measuring purposes.
Will have to make a 90 degree template for tube bending and buy a heat gun tomorrow.
Tell me about it.....i have spent days on cable tidying on previous builds, but this one is even harder as you rightly pointed out "but that case really does give you no where to hide!" :)
Res fitted and fan cables re routed as they wouldn't reach the fan controller where i was wanting it.
Will be semi fitting motherboard to start measuring for Acrylic tubing next.
