I like your style! I'll have to try that one, thanks for the tip!

The simplest things are normally best.

Lovely arent they....

Paint is nearly done so not long now.

The slim EK 290 blocks,very nice indeed, I will have to use them more often I think.

A fully parallel loop this time...because,you know....I can....

I will mention those EK AF fittings,If you are in the market for a matt finished,simple and clean looking fitting then these are for you.

The tray is finished in a dark gunmetal,a nice counterpoint to the frame panel inside which is a red marble effect (pics up later)......

Gunmetal and roiling blood,what a combo!

Its tight in there,very tight.
Challenge accepted!


Chaos in Ceramite.....

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

looking nice, you seem to have got that marble effect to a T, the background for your shots is that a midtone grey by bessel in vinyl.

Its coming on really well now. Excellent work!

Khorne approves this build

Going to look amazing with the curved window giving a good view of that paint effect!

 

[kaku]

Marble paint effect is certainly popular recently, and I can see why!
Looking forward to seeing this completed.

 

[ALXAndy]

Gorgeous !

The fans have been finished,brass inside with blades the colour of clotted blood, a red/black mix.......

The EK Vardars come apart so easily,so very,very handy!!!
If EK ever sell the bearing sets then these fans will live as long as the electronics allow,easily swappable sealed bearings inside.

Hopefully I have not unbalanced them.....

What is the light? Or am I seriously seeing it as a monitor with a white screen?!

Haha brilliant ... great idea too , what's the sheet you've put underneath the pictures look class

Look forward to seeing the end product

Double post , stupid phone !

So,the loop layout is done,just need to bolt everything in place.

A fully parallel loop,nice clean and efficient runs should keep this tidy inside. The tubing and res need to be airbrushed in a candy brass/gold colour along with the pump cover which will be a deep red like the tray.
I need to get a handful of E22 Ultraclear in the post Monday.......:wheee:
Then its sleeve time.......




I hate sleeving but it needs to be done!

Still need to do the back panel paint work but I really need to give them another few coats of base first.....which I ran out of......:doh:

 

[B N3GATIVE]

A little update to keep things ticking over...

How about a shot of the finished front panel paintwork?

I carried the tray theme over to the front and back panels to give more detail to the otherwise featureless externals.

Paint is black metallic with a marble effect,finished with a deep red candy and clear coat.

Hi,

I've removed the image in your last post as it was over 1,280 pixels wide and spoiler tags aren't allowed in Project Logs.

This is looking great! Not sure that rad will be big enough though?

It will,its not going to be HWBot cooling tho.

You can run 2 780ti's and a 2011 chip with reasonable OC's on a 280......
Rad requirements are massively over blown,if you can accept a higher delta.

The usual recommendation of 120+120 for every block in the loop is still sound advice however.

 

[B N3GATIVE]

A quick preview of more paint?

Red candy over orange candy over bare metal.....

You can blame Cheapskate for this....

Looks mental tho,really pops in sunlight!

 

[FL630]

Wow love that, so simple yet a great looking mod.

 

[dacads]

The brass looks brilliant mate, what paint did you use?

Also fantastic photos, which camera do you use? Need to get myself one of those DSLRs
