Yes the pump is just placed on, because of the way its connected to the res its very sturdy, unless i get vibrations i wont hard mount the pump.

Check out Singularity computers on youtube for guides and inspiration.

Maybe a tie wrap or even double sided tape? just to keep it in place in case you get vibrations.

I really like the BP mod kit, looks great

Looks really good, if you want a black braided molex extension give me a shout via trust should smarten up that left side

Quality so far mate. Keep up with the pics.

Nice build Blame, just wanted to know where you bought that tap from for draining the loop? been trying to find a place that sells them but had no look, also are the corsair fans the 4 pin PWM fans or just the normal 3 pin ones? and where did you get the corsair 7v adapters? and are there ones that can convert 4 pin PWM fans to 3 pin to run off the fan PCB? cheers

haha OMG, thanks mate, maybe if I searched valve and not tap, sorry for the FAIL!

Thanks for comments guys!

I will see if the pump causes any vibrations before i mount it sturdy. there is a rubber base on the bottom of the pump, so might get away with it.

The 7v connectors came with the corsair fans. And the fans are normal 3pin ones , not PWM.

I got most of the parts that i need to finish the build off, so will probably start transfering the hardware from old pc to the 900D and get the loop finished!

Well seems like i cant do anything now. Even though the incorrect image was put up, turns up its still my own fault and they wont do anything about it and also wont take a return/refund because of its 14day policy even though it was all caused by 900D delay. bit ****ed off to say the least.

Worse thing was after 6 mails saying i have to get a refund/return i went to buy the correct male VL4n fittings they went and told me the 14 day return policy :/ didnt occur to them to tell me at the beginning. so i have 2 males sitting here when i could have brought another pair of female and try to use them, but i will have to waste more money on shipping for another pair.

Feel abit shafted by OCUK. Shame really, will be using a different retailer for all my other bits now.

Did you put anything in the Customer Support forum? Would have thought 5UB might have looked at this for you if you bought all the other stuff from OCUK too.
No harm trying as they say!

Blame · 28 Jun 2013 at 21:33

Nope, havent put anything on the forum. Brought the correct parts now, but have a pair of useless male connectors jsut sitting here.

After so much hassle, im just at the point of wanting to finish it.

fantasticCG · 29 Jun 2013 at 07:10

Is a post missing? What happened dude?

dim_pwn · 29 Jun 2013 at 09:22

Blame, when you get a mo could you post all your parts you've used? Cheers.

fiveub · 29 Jun 2013 at 10:33

Blame, is it some fittings that were listed incorrectly on the website? - I can sort a refund for you.

hi 5UB

The image used on the koolance VL4 QDC male fitting was a VL4N QDC male fitting. so i assumed i brought the correct one

Blame · 30 Jun 2013 at 18:44

Decided to start transfer in the stuff from old case to 900d. But 1st some comparison shots to the Fractal.

As you can see there quite a size difference!

And looking at the inside things are pretty cramped! And the back has very little width for the cables which I hated! Had to force the side panel in order to close it.

uPDATE:

After taking the old pc apart, it was time to put the new one together!

CPU block

Installed

With Bitspower shiney silver 1/2IC 3/4OD fittings

Blame · 8 Jul 2013 at 11:29

Went to put the GPU block on and came across a problem!

The block did not fit!

i then found out that i needed a different mounting plate to fit the 560ti

So after ordering one 2 days later i got it! the difference between the two

Adn heatsinks on the ram
