Actually, it wasn't as big as I thought it was, which was good!
.
Sleeved the fans the other day, I also intend on sleeving as much as possible.
A shot of the fans on the PA120.3 - looks much better than a rats nest of molex cabling imo.
PA 120.3 with shroud and 3xYate loon D12SL-12 fitted
Had a bit of a nightmare earlier trying to fit a HWlabs blackIce GT Stealth radiator as the holes wern't a perfect match for the case. So I drilled my own in the rad and got a perfect fit now.
...taking my time with this build as I want eveything to be right first time.

Thought you had 2x repack res's m8? Decided to go with the microres eh?
Ok time for a little update.
The rads are now fitted. Heres the PA120.3 with the shroud, gaskets & yates attached:
I had to drill new holes in the black Ice GT stealth to get it to line up with the holes on the UFO. But its now flush with the case rather than standing off.
Just starting to mount some hardware to the motherboard tray:
More to come later - time to play with some tubing and work out the routing.

looking good guys, nice job on the sleeving w3bbo.
with places to hide the cables on the UFO i got lazy and haven't done mine yet lol....with 6 fans on my 120.3 i really need to but they hide very nicely in that middle section

Couldn't resist building up the front any longer to give me a clue as to what it is gonna look like.
Should have really polished it up but hey...I'm still building it so you'll have to cut me some slack.
Also did some testing on the orange UV dye I intend on using for the GPU loop.
Thats all for now, its sleeptime for me, got a big day building tommorow

Just a mini update: Started leak testing yesterday after routng all the tubing and then added some dye - unfortunately the orange didn't work out as planned so I gotta drain a loop now, flush it out, and then replace with some green or purple that will be arriving on tuesday. I ordered both in case one didn't look right.
Sunday.
Finished most of the sleeving now, took bloody ages. Encountered a few problems such as I didn't have nearly enough molex connections for the 6 cathodes,9 fans, 2 pumps etc etc so I am busy making up some splitters (and sleeving them ) then I will be able to start wiring it all up.
Didn't have any leaks with the tubing - 36hrs complete. Thank goodness for that at least. HOpefully it will be completed later tonight bar the UV colours so I'll post some pics later tonight and then the completed version tuesday.
Kinda getting that exciting feeling now as its really taking shape but also feelin a little sad coz I have enjoyed the challenge and its nearly over.

Have you thought about using a power port for the fans? Sunbeam make a nice little port for 6x fans... Multi Fan Power Port
Nearly done.
My hard drive rack placement - not standard but effective.
I couldn't place them on the back because thats where my pumps live, 1xDDC ultra and one blue impellor DDC pro (to be modded)
:
Added a couple of temp monitors to monitor water temps of both CPU & GPU loop.

Haha, patience m8y. Gotta finish up tidying, no point in rushing the details - I spent too long sleeving etc to rush it at the end. Been like a fine wine this build, taken time to mature and I have savoured every last drop of it hehe
