Awesome build .

Lovely bends on the pipework , neat and tidy the only thing i would have done is silver fittings rather than gold but still a bueatiful build.

Thanks yeah i re used the classic fittings from my old build agree though matt silver woulda looked a lot better but them fittings cost a arm and leg as is haha

its a modded 011 dynamic one i modded it to let me have it sit higher

manofarms · 22 Apr 2021 at 01:51

Thanks, Agree the fe blocks are a work of art!

forgot to mention if anyone is considering fitting a 360 rad into a standard 011 base and going vertical with a gpu like myn it most likley wont fit as in give you good clearence for fans when the pci cable is connected
ek's offerings only do a 28mm slim rad that didn't work in myn i had to go with a 20mm xspc rad and a modded gpu mount as mostly all gpu mounts dont utilise the very top slot and thats where i needed myn to sit
buy yeah won't have that issue in a xl

any photos of the modded vertical mount?

Very nice build.
Refreshing something without a distro.

That looks amazing.

This is no criticism I'm just curious. Why didn't you use the distro plate that you can get for 011? It would probably have cost the same as all them fittings you have used around the back and made it a hell of a lot easier.

After reading the rest of the posts, you already owned the fittings.

i dont, but this is the plate it will fit in the top slot withought any mods i just had cut one of the slots as it was catching one of the dp ports as i run 3 monitors
that and two 3mm washers at the top where you screw down just so it was level with my resevoir , rest of the hardline tubing keeps it in place

appreciate that! yes was going for a custom look rather then a plug in distro and be done too many of these about imo , also like a bit of a challenge haha

This looks fantastic, some time has really gone into this!

Can I ask why the bottom fans are exhausting and not bringing in cool air?

AllanDC · 15 Jun 2021 at 11:22

Fantastic looking build.

I work in the plumbing industry and that’s better than all the plumbing I’ve ever seen :cry:

Very tidy well done

liamstears · 17 Jun 2021 at 02:52
