The Big Update
Hi again folks its took a few weeks to get back with the 1st update as I have been busy with building some PCs for friends and some Clients but got a lot of pics and a you can now see how the loop will fit inside.
The 1st thing to be done was get the case powder coated grey and get the vinyls made so with the case being number 09 and the theme being based around the car I have used the 09 as part of a racing livery if you like.. I will be adding a few more not on this back panel just a few small ones here and there so here we are with some pics ..
The Titan Black with block
Just a quick tease if the paint color on the front Panel ..
Now Time for getting some stuff installed and plan the loop ...
And this is Dexter my new helper and mascot thanks to MSI
The EK Vadar Fans installed
So to control the fans I am using this power distribution from mod my toys and dust has been removed bane of my life is dust also installed the pump/ res combo with the EK bracket.
With this being a sports car we did not need any extra weight that was not making it run cooler so I removed the HDD cage and put an extra 120mm rad in there
but I will have to swap them black extenders out for black nickel as they will niggle me even If I cannot see them I will know they are there :sigh:
held in with some Parvum cubes until I fabricate a plate for it
Made some new stickers for the Ram
So before I get to cutting and bending the loop this is about where we are at for now
I have decided to get some cables made by the master himself James from Pexon PCs as I have arthritis and the job takes so much time and pain it becomes impossible so I have to stick to fans and pumps and stuff that can be done in half hours for me and I am also putting in a panel around the motherboard and this will be laser etched but more on that when its done as not a lot I can show you it will be black and red.
That is where I leave you again while I get to work on the tube by for now folks

Thank you yer the extra rad seemed more sense as I had it sat there and could not see myself using it
I went with the copper blocks as the block I had for the Titan Black was a copper one and I think it will blend well in to the red but we shall see over the next few days as the loop is the next update
thank for viewing glad you like so far , much progress made this week update will be very soon

wow subbed 
The next update
Hi again folks i have been a bit unwell for the last few weeks and progress has been slow but we now have a decent update to show you so 1st off here is the laser cut panel for around the motherboard thanks to E22 for the laser magic
quick shot of it with some light behind it
had to make a little adjustment as it was a bit tight against the PSU
To make this light up some metal had to be removed from the case
Fixed in some angled aluminum strips to hold the leds and allow the light to get where it needs to be
Made a bracket for the 120mm Rad at the back
Next up the cables from Pexon PCs just pure perfection best in the UK for sure
Perfect fit
I was snapped whilst working on the tubes after deciding to make some grey coolant but paint the tubes red to match the new front grill and as I wanted them to be a little different than just using pastel red as I did in this test run
Anyway the tube went to the paint shed
It will need another coat and some clear coat but this is more what I wanted
This is where we leave you again and I will return next week with more

Wondered where you went to, glad to hear your well again.
thanks man and thanks for looking at the work
thanks dude I am sure it has been done before I know painting copper tube happens a lot, for me on this one I needed to know that the tubes will be the same color as the front grill and and not be having to change coolants all the time so this was perfect choice
Hello people sorry about the long delay in the update just impossible to find the time to dedicate to forum's with the workload I have looking after my mum, the dogs and time for my daughter , whilst trying to earn a few quid from the client builds I am doing/done and the powder coating jobs etc. I have been working on this every week for a few hours and now we have some changes made and a complete PC so here is what has happened in pictures and some words but I think you will understand it ....
1st up I was not happy with the small details not matching on the motherboard , GPU and PSU ..
Took the block over to E22 and Nate etched this Porsche Badge into the Acetal
The Sexy Pexon PC's Cables with the Corsair HX850i GT3 edition
Next up is a pic of the rear of the PC which I painted in a dark grey and the same red I used for the Tubes etc ..
Had major rethink on the layout as I was not happy so I decided against the second rad as it was not really needed this 360 is ample for the i5 and Titan Black in the loop as the EK Vardar fans are excellent quality..
The SSD was given some detailing to match ^^
Here are a few shots of the PC in the dark with the MSI logo backlit with red LED
I decided to make some grey pastel coolant as with White, Emerald green and Red here in this pic I am happy with the match with the light grey in the braid ..
I popped her onto the desk last night and I think my table was made for this PC .. and as I have been using a test bench for the last few months it will be nice to have PC in case finished so after the next photo shoot I think I am using this rig for my gaming PC
