[Buildlog] 900D My 1st watercooled rig

Thanks for kind comments guys!

The Rads just bolt onto the brackets that are provided. There really is not modifying need to fit the rads. everything is well thought out.

So 4 hours of leak testing! 1 leak! that was from the bottom rad where i didnt one of the plugs tight enough. but apart from that it went super smooth!!!

I also brought some Bitfenix sleeved cables. wanted to go custom, but until i get a full modular PSU it will have to do for now.

But one big annoying factor is the 24pin ATX extension is a different red to the rest of the cables. its slightly faded. like a pinkish kinda red whereas the rest is deep red.

 
There is limited space ont he top 5.25 bay, but its still possible to mount a fan controller depending on how wide it is. ii mounted my FC touch on the second bay.

Yes it is a lot of fans, but all the rad fans are running on 40% speed. and the case fans are on 7v. so its really quiet. will be wiring the case fans to the fan controller later to reduce noise further.

The sp's was pretty easy to mount just needed some spacers becuase the bolts are slightly too long.

havent sorted out the lighting yet and need to tidy the cables abit more. but jsut enjopying it for now after 6months of waiting for this case! :D

And im already thinking about adding a alphacool 240 ST30 rad to the bottom and a 240 monsta at the front jsut because theres room! :D
 
And heres a before and after tidy up on the back. There is so room at the back!





The main complaint i have about the case is the brackets at the back that tie the cables down, they snap so easy! i snapped 2! :mad:



Will be taking some proper photos with my SLR once i get my lighting sorted.
 
Update.

Offer was too good to miss!



Sadly only one of those are mine! :(

The old 560ti and the new 670





This is how it looks for now. didnt take the VGA block out as im currently testing the card out before i get my EK waterblock for this.

Might also stick in another Alphacool 240 ST30 rad int here while im at it. and also might change the fluid. thinking of maybe a pastel red. becuse when the white LED's light the tubes up it looks cloudy, but when the lights are off its normal.
 
Update time:

After seeing the PSU black friday offer on the Corsair RM850 i jsut couldnt resist and decided on a upgrade time again :/
