The plants are the most important partSupercool DD block should be here tomorrow. for now, working on speaker and cable wiring before I build the desk to go in front of the shelf which will hide all the wires. gone with a Green and Anthracite theme to match the chair and mouse mat I have bought.
Shelves for putting the obligatory gaming office hanging plants on
Received the Supercool DD, however planning the loop with the old EK distro is difficult so had to get the newer one which should arrive on Monday. The room is coming along though. Should be all good to build this week.
Here are the 2 Distro Plates side by side. The v2 on the left. Worryingly the bottom rad inlets are lower than the old version which is going to cause an issue. I may have to get 2x offsets to bring them to the correct level. Why did they do this!

The new Distroplate has come with a load of its own problems. Due to the lower rad G1/4 ports the distroplate comes with a replacement radiator bracket that shifts the rad to the left a bit.
Installation of the Distroplate was easy enough though.
Unfortunately the new bracket does not fit this radiator. Time to get the dremmel out! bye bye warranty lol
More to come in a bit

Case and rad manufacturers need to get together over a beer or three and discuss this kind of thing. "Fits a 360 in the roof and a 360 in the front" ahh, but not at the same time and not if you want a motherboard in the case *facepalm*
Is the rad going on the side (last pic but one) or directly on the back of the distro where it would have a lot of flow blocked by the distro..?

My amazing Dremmel Skills
It will go at the bottom.
Spent the last part of 4 hours working out how to connect all the parts. Finally sorted it and need 7 new fittings to make it work. So those are ordered. Will have to wait a few days for those to come.
The actual tubing is the last part, but wanted to ensure it all worked together first.
The hardest one was this one, which is now sorted and straight.
That's enough for today.
No, they designed it so that the ports should be on the other side so it connects directly to the distro plate without running a tube over the fans. My radiator is a multiport too with ports on the top side and bottom which they wouldn't have designed it for. I have to do it this way as this is how it will connect to the MO-RA3 external rad. It's sorted though and all works. The hardest part is now done.Coming along nicely. So what you really needed there were some really low profile stop plugs; I though you needed tubing in/out there. Works though
I'll put the tubing on at the end. Next up is the wiring and fans, which ill start tomorrow.

I’m disappointed you’ve not got the plants on show.
Looking really good though. How long before the final unveiling?

Shopping for plants tomorrow lol.
Hopefully all done by early next week as I have to do the loop flush which is 24 hours and wait for more fittings to complete the jigsaw tubing. Thought the EK matrix 7 was meant to make things easy
