So recently I've been holding onto a caselabs SMA8 that i got used and have been carefully planning my build. Well today was the day i received a present from OCUK, but for all the goodness it bought it lacked the vital ingredient, the fateful pack of hairibo.

This is my initial computer,

This is what i received this morning

I was truly gutted with the lack of haribo though apart from that though fantastic service from overclockers as always.

This is where i was by the end of this afternoon once id actually sat down to take a look at it.
So far I've encountered the EK multiport top i can't get facing the same place on both res'. :confused:

All photos were taken on a potato before anyone asks.

Plan for tomorrow is to drain the old computer as theres a few bits and pieces 1080ti and 6700k that i need to take off it. Im still awaiting one more radiator from the suppliers but i intend to at least get the cpu running by the end of the week.

So its been a slow few weeks on the build front as I've encountered problems such as the petg i bought only being in 500mm which has led me to have to add an adapter, which is what I'm awaiting, i also had to hold off to drill holes into the case as i didn't have the correct drill bit.
This is where I'm at now. Just awaiting on some more fittings to complete it before i can test it all. Ended up inserting cables so i could see how they would look in the end.

Great work mate, a lot of space in that case, I can imagine its a dream to work with

that's not a case its a freaking wardrobe !

You can sleep in their once the build is complete

I know its massive but i feel as if I'm using all the space especially underneath. I got the pedestal from the previous owner of the case and to be honest its way to big for me with that. Unfortunately though today my dual loop system got a setback....

Slow but steady progress with this,currently on the mayhems blitz part 2.
I came across an issue with the top connector on the res as it didn't go deep enough into the top so it led to it leaking. Fortunately the extenders that come with the res have resolved that issue only thing is they only make them in silver so i need to colour them somehow. Any helpful suggestions with that?
