OcUK First Project build
- Thread starter Omega89
- Start date
The case is really nice to build in although a little bit of a pain just make sure you have your components ready to go in as you build the case up! In regards to a colour scheme you need to get yourself a man cave so you can pick whatever colour you like.......the bright her the better

I will get Joe to bring the missing purple panels you require next time he is down with Pack. Nice to see a cheeky L1.0 build going down!

Thanks for the advice, I was holding off on ordering components until the case arrived. Suppose it's safe to start ordering radiators etc now. With the fans fitted inside the lower compartment how much space is left for radiators? I was expecting I would have to fit the lower fans on the outside of the lower compartment to save space for the radiators inside but I notice you have fitted the fans inside from your photos.
The image below shows how much space there is on the inside when the two rads and fans are either side......The fans can properly be screwed in from the outside if you have long enough screws, but there is a recess on the plastic where the fans screw in so I'm guessing the fans need to be put on the inside and then mounted to the rad.
I hope this helps, I struggle explaining things sometimes
So more work has been done on this joker build......Both tube resevoirs mounted one next to the motherboard (when i put it in) and one mounted to the back of the fans at the front of the case.
Also I also placed both pumps in rough locations. one facing the clear window and also one is underneath the front of the case....hopefully this will connect easily to the 250mm tube reservoir.
As you can see on the pump I've alternated the colours just to mix it up a bit.

Thanks for the photo of the lower compartment, has helped with planning for my build. It's much easier to see from an image than trying to picture in my head. The green is starting to grow on me too, reminds me of my old motorbike.
So today has been a bit of a slow day haven't had much to do really except planning for the next stage which is tubing.....after i manage to get my top panel sorted (Thanks Parvum and 8 Pack for sorting this out for me) and getting a radiator which needs painting and buying fans for it. -_- spending all them pennies (Any donations welcome hahaha)
One thing i did manage to do was fit in the motherboard a gigabyte SOC champion, I'm fully aware of the colour of it but do not fear.....parts are going to be sprayed/painted green and purple and all the PCI-E lanes and all the DIMM slots will be occupied blanking out the majority of the board......You may ask why did i pick this board? Well I got offered it at work not going to say no to a cheap board.
I managed to do some tubing.....well i managed to fit in two tubes only to see if the pump and res were in line and to see if it was possible to get a tight angle fitted into the radiator which suprisingly fitted really well.
The 90 degree fitting was a bit of pain which my sausage fingers it wasn't easy to attach and screw in.
Over all its been slow but productive day, least I know the tight fitting fits and it is not moving.

Was your motorbike a kawasaki by any chance? if so thats the colour spray paint i used, such a nice nice colour.
Yeah i think you need to see the case in order to get a good understanding of the case if you need any help let me know.

Got two loops in it so was honking green and purple again to match the rest! Have two acrylic tubes coming from the base of the case each with different fluid next to each other! I have a plan in my head but whether it will work or not is another story
Thanks for the positive feedback guys slowly coming along......All I'm waiting for now is tubing, my 3rd rad and 5 corsair SP120mm fans, So not too much......
I managed to fit the sprayed back plate to my SLI EVGA 980 Ti SC+ cards, which looks good considering I had never done a custom spray job before.
