Cant wait to see the finished article!

Its going to look mighty fine

 

[Nick1881]

I'm actually excited, I think I just did a sex wee!

Nice work, need more.

 

[Ducky Spud]

Looking good so far! You putting 2 rads in the bottom? Is there enough room for the tubing to curve round if you get me? Or will you be using some 90 degree fittings?

And are those Bitspower fittings from OCUK? Hope you do start stocking them soon, well want a few for my loop haha

 

[sorn21]

I want more pictures!

That Rampage with the water blocks stuck on makes me arroused.

thanks for the kind words guys
hope it doesnt dissapoint
there will be a few more updated pictures soon, as and when progress is made
OcUK is really busy at the moment so it means i am exhausted when i get back from work, thinking of having a couple of days off to concentrate on my own system

Ducky, i had the stop fittings and angled fittings a while back but the compression fittings [7/16] are all from ocuk

the full range is expected on the site soon, i know Yewen is working very hard to get the products listed for you guys

there will indeed be two rads in the bottom as the sketchup suggests

im going for one big epic loop

 

[Phunky Phish]

Carefull those pumps dont over heat if you are mounting them directly to that foam mate. I lost my first 2 for mounting against foam for try and keep them quiet!

 

[rjk]

i know - im thinking of putting them ontop of the riser mounts and stabilising them with rubber standoffs

i have them modded to 18w now

will see in time

 

[rjk]

pump mounts sorted out now

 

[Marine Iguana]

Mmm shiny

 

[Sayso]

im going to have to get some of those bitspower connectors :>)
has anyone used the ghost compression fittings?

 

[rjk]

not sure what they are?

 

[Ducky Spud]

Ive seen them, the see through coloured plastic ones? I never really trusted them, the photos of them look like they'd easily crack if you knocked them. However, they surely wouldnt sell them if they were that weak, they must be alright lol

 

[PermaBanned]

Looks good, do you get a discount? Because i really can't imagine spending so much on that chipset block. Also, why did you go for a full cover block over a GPU block and VRAM heatsinks? Looking good though, can't wait to see it finished.

 

[rjk]

i just like hardware
i will not discuss the financial side of the build

the chipset block was imported from holland as they were the only stockists i could find

full cover GPU blocks look 100% better than core cover blocks, thats why i chose them

 

[Bradley8988]

Seen your build over at XS mate. Nice choice on cooling parts

 

[EdGey]

looks great so far m8, will look forward to an update soon

edit: can i ask what fans they are on the top and rear?
