The tray was cut at the weekend and is on its way,in the meantime I started on the loom.
Dark grey Teleios sleeve from E22 with florescent yellow plugs should fit nicely.

Sadly I ran out of sleeve so its off more...





Im getting quite excited about the tray coming now,I will be able to properly assemble the whole tray and get those rads in. I hope I wasnt using my Chinese ruler that day......​

While im waiting for the doorbell to ring with the acrylic tray,I did a final mount up to see how everything fits and goes together,Im glad to say it went together like sticklebricks.

Here are some shots before the teardown begins.





The more eagle eyed will notice the bottom rad is missing its graphics,I had to switch it round as the GPU power and port clashed too much for a nifty recovery.





Thanks to Kier for donating the microcool PCI mounts!



Because the acrylic will be clear but frosted,the back of the res got a vinyl covering to make it pop more.



Thanks for keeping up with this log,its so close I can taste it!​

Speechless everytime you update this thread. Amazing attention to detail!

The tray arrived from PARVUM today!

Thanks again to Justin and Shaun,they turned this around quite quickly for me.





And with the infill in place.



Now to drill all the remaining holes and tap a few ports for the return feed and the pump outlet.
Once this is done,I will frost the rest and solvent weld the infill in place for a watertight seal.​

In the meantime and because im impatient....





This is why I put a background to the res.



Thats not the HDD im using,its a placeholder....I will put something fairly massive in as it will be a pig to change over....

 

[B N3GATIVE]

Thanks ASUS RoG Nordic!

 

[B N3GATIVE]

New HDD has arrived and one side is done!!!!

Except for a de-sticker after the drive has been validated of course.





The fill port.



Im going to give up on trying to take photo's of the glass without reflections

Awesome! Will you be attending any lans with this build?

Most of my builds are displayed at Multiplay events,this is one will no doubt be on the InWin or ASUS stand at February I series.

You will see me around at most iseries,look for the drunken ass in the PARVUM hoodie creating mayhem....

that build is excellent! I like it a lot and good job with it!

And its not even finished yet,great stuff!

If you have the time then give me a vote on Bit tech MOTM?

GWF!

So,as im in Bit techs MOTM,I thought LUMO needed a update.
Its looks like not much has happened,its because everything is behind the scenes,the wiring is all run behind the tray,no room for the GPU power like first thought,you will see a bundle of wiring coming out the back in one shot as they need to be trimmed back,they were cut extra long to go behind the tray but it didnt happen.

Plus I get to try out my polarizing filter!







You can barely see the brown board plug terminals now.





Next up is the Aquaero/pump/rad bracket that will tie it all together,these brackets were not designed to have this kind of weight on so there is a little sag on the bottom rad box. The bracket will tie it into the vertical rad,adding strength and eliminating the sag.

For the tubing,its looking like the usual mouse gynecology,its tight in that bottom corner!

Thanks for looking and leave a comment!​

So.....I did say I would make a video......

Pics up later when the clear coat has dried and everything is fitted.

 

[B N3GATIVE]

The rad/pump/Aquaero support is done and I have begun tubing up.

Very very tight work indeed!

I still need to make up a 4 pin molex for the Aquaero,I forgot all about it,and finish the last 3 bits of tube.

So very nearly there.....





You dont even want to know how tight that tube was to get in there......




On the home stretch now.
​

 

[B N3GATIVE]

nice

So good

Just waiting on a fitting...its always the one fitting you think you have but dont...then the tube is finished.

Hopefully it will be done by next weekend!

Then I will be making a start on the HEXGEAR case and get prepped for the EK Vulture case mod off in Feb,I need to get Gibbo's mail from you J for that,I want one of his blueprinted 970's in it.

Busy boy all round!

I know this log has been quiet for a few weeks but its not been wasted time.

The loop is in and everything is wired,just the rad and window graphics to do!

Have a couple of quick snaps to show whats been happening?





Final shots are being done this week!

 

[B N3GATIVE]

A nice view over London from Greenwich park by the observatory,2 offers to buy and a million "What is it?" questions later.....



















'Studio' shots later on!

when I go for a lovely day out in London, I always take my system with me.


awesome build

This one weighs in at around 20-25kg....a LAN box that you dont want to carry far!
The EK case that I will be starting soon should weigh in much lighter..

Awesome build m8

I am very surprised you didn't have the terror police doing a controlled explosion on all your hard work!!!!

Lol! Funny because its nearly true! London police are famed for being miserable.

 

[B N3GATIVE]

Stunning build. Colours are great, spot on.

Thanks fella!

Just awesome.. no words.

Love those PSU cables. How does it work, you remove the original end connectors, sheath, and place new connectors on?

Or are you making the cables from scratch?

I build my cables from scratch,keeps everything nice and tidy with correct (ish) wire lengths

 

[B N3GATIVE]

OMG Beautiful love the originality of this build.
The marbling effect is awesome, how do u do it where did u learn it from?

This is a video of me doing some marbling.

If you read this log then you know how much time and effort went it to this,a vote for me is a vote for a yellow future!

Last shots with a new coolant,yellow pastel with half a bottle of UV green in it....

Just fettling the OS ready for I series and letting steam fill up all the drives.

You can see how tight it was to work in there in this shot.....

Im about ready!
