I was going to leave the shroud off as the EK Water blocks are so beautifully engineered and thought it would be a shame to hide them. As it happens I did use the Formula shroud for two reasons. Firstly without the shroud the backplate cannot be used and secondly the shroud only hides the the mosfet EK block but is still just visible through the fins.
Thanks for the kind words. I will post more pics soon of the entire case.Now that is some nice work you have done
I also had to overcome the problem of no dust filters on the fans as there is no room for filters the way I have the rads and fans configured. Solution : Stockings!! preferably black and as sheer as possible. Remove the punched honeycomb metal grill from both front and top covers. Cut a leg off the stockings and roll up and stretch over metal grill, cut off loose ends and re fit grills to the covers. You will be surprised how good this looks as it gives a nice matt look to the grills and is totally effective, I have no dust entering my case whatsoever and the grills just need hoovering occasionally to remove dust build up on the outside. Go for it.
I am definately no plumber and don't have any aspirations but really enjoyed building the project, Cheers budAre you a plumber? If not you should be!
Welcome aboard Matt!!!
Great minds have similar taste.
I spent a long time trying to figure out how I was going to custom build a bracket to mount the res to the front radiator. While I was offfering up the res to get the measurements it was immediately obvious that fitting to the top rad was easier and more elegant.
