Yeh think window will now be 'bottom compartment divider and up'
As for night shots, atm it looks nice and subtle with the human eye, but I can't do it justice with my camera which is shocking in low light conditions.
It doesn't really look great, I need an SLR or something

Where abouts are you? If your close, I would offer to come round and take some pics for you, my camera isn't the best SLR you can get, but it is decent...

Just ordered light tinted and plain (clear) perspex last night
And an aquaero 4.0 display system, 10cm and 30cm UV cathodes and some white braiding.
So hopefully this wknd I will have a window made!
@Gtiracer the tubes are too small to fit on the barbs without softening with boiling water first. Then they serve as their own clamp and will not come off with kilos of force. In fact a scalpel must be used and the tubing section binned.
The bottom tube feeding the pump from the res is sloowly kinking! Going to have to drain the loop which will be good practice anyway and put a slightly longer piece in to see if it helps. I refuse to use anti kink coils they look gash IMO in most cases.
I ill install also a bitspower black nickel temperature probe in the remaining port on the bottom of the res fed to my aquaero it will tell me the temp of the water, just something I am curious about!
Forgot I will also be illuminating the acrylic on the 470 block. Then I may eventually hook up to my RGB for a very slow 'fade-pulse' effect
ATM I am running just a silver coil with the ultra pure water, I have PHN Nuke but have not added any yet.do I need any drops also? Any compatibility issues anyone know of?

You could rotate the grill underneath your res 90 degrees anticlockwise to line up with your carbon fibre lines. That would look ace.

Now THAT is what I'm talking about! NIIIIIICE
Can't help but think that beautiful backlighting is being overpowered by the other lights in there... can be the voltage regulated to be a little bit fainter? or is that just the photo making them look like that?

cheers, the tubes are about 1/3rd as bright in real life i'd say
The small amount of purple the UV cathodes give off is really sweet, if only you guys could see this, the camera can't pick it up! Very happy with it, not got perspex yet, maybe tomorrow maybe not, gotta have window!
A mate just had a look at it, I gave him no warning. He was freaking out just looking at the size of the case, then, I showed him the side with the panel alreay off
He had no idea PC's could be liquid cooled, he was holding his head and swearing for about 3 mins lol.
priceless, it was worth it

I remember when I first saw a pc with watercooling it totally blew my mind lol then as I came to understand how it worked it is such an obvious solution to the problem of heat - and I was dying to try it myself... alas funds did not (and still don't) allow
new, longer unkinked tube in place, hopefully it will last:
aquaero is now controlling the rad fans, the pump is noisy again due to air. when it has settled things should be quieter
edit; just put in one of the sensors for a laugh and stuck it in the rad exhaust stream to see how similar water and exhaust air temps would be. at first it was lagging by half a degree and now it's completely lined up! out by 0.1 degrees to 0.0 degrees now...
and for the purists I have more screws courtesy of MNPCTECH so the top grill is all sorted
aluminium sheet discs for fan hubs next...

Sorry if it's already been asked, but where did you get the carbon fibre vinyl from?
undergroundgraphics.com
Missed my delivery of perspex (i think/hope) which I will collect sat morning.
Then hopefully I can make a side panel and upload some pics for you guys!
Must order some more vinyl too...
Also ordering an adapter cable so that I can control the DDC, it's the loudest part of the system atm. The fans cant be heard they are STEALTH with shrouds

Love this build and love the work and the look of this.
+rep for you!
+rep for you!
thanks all
well I've got my perspex now, think i'm going to use the tinted stuff, it looks brilliant, like it adds 'depth' and contrast to the internals instead of dimming it.
left my soldering iron in london so can't add the rest of the LED's or solder the pump to aquaero just yet
but it should be much more complete this time next wknd
