This thing is totally gargantuan in every sense of the word. My fave build log at the moment, can't wait to see more!
Awesome work
Thanks a lot man appreciate it.
Well same here
Nice to do something I have never seen or done before.
Wow those fans and hexagon grillsnoice
Thank you.
Thank you Crypto
Thank you for your kind words. Hope the future updates can keep you interested as well
I got to work on this monster a couple of hours the past few days.
I actually got further than I was expecting. Suddenly things can go much quicker sometimes. Perhaps it feels quick because it has been sooo sloooow the past few months.
I actually got the system to stand onto the pedestal first with some 2by3 pieces of wood in between. Measures hose lengths, cut hoses, etc etc, then layed it from the 3 inch side to the 2 inch side and lowered it time and time again using smaller piece of wood. This has by far been the most annoying, time consuming and painfull thing to do this entire build. Working in such a small space filled with connectors, fittings, hoses and pins sticking out of the AQ6 the entire time. It wasn't fun and at some time I actually thought it wasn't going to fit. But eventually....succes....sort of
Now it was time to fit the reservoirs and add them to the loop. I knew the front was going to be fine, but the rear didn't have revolvable fittings or anything like that. It took quite some fiddling to get these 2 to fit. Not too happy about the right bended piece. You can see it started to wrinkle a tiny bit. Might redo that one.
After this the front two small ones and finally the longer ones from the bend acrylic to the roof. These two actually are the feed from the pumps and radiators to the top and then the waterblocks.
I am personally very happy with how these two have worked out. The bends almost equal and parrallel.
Now all tubes and hoses are connected it is time to brew some potion :naughty:
Very cool Mayhems coolant concentrate. Needs 750ml pure water, add 250ml (bottle) of LIME UV to get this bright yellow coolant. It looks super UV green when in dark and UV lit. But I wanted it to be green in daylight as well. So I added 3 drops to this liter of coolant to get this bright in-your-face green coolant. I love it. Also a few pictures of it with some UV light on. Is this cool or what? I know I really like it A LOT. :clap:
Next time; filling the loop.

this is an amazing build, i bet its noisy!
Sure man, lets talk rent over email
Thanks for your comment
Oh man don't go there, I have had enough bad luck as it is with this build. Not that as well O.0
Thank you. I think you will find it incredibly...silent. These fans are super silent. And the pumps won't make a lot of noise either.
Not too happy currently 
I was filling the loop today. I was even shooting a HD video of the loop filling with all the tubing filling with UV green.
But disaster struck
I have an enormous leak in the bottom end somewhere. At first I was scared thinking the radiator was leak. But I think it was either a leaking fitting now or perhaps a fitting that got a bit loose after all the tiny work area pulling and pushing fittings and hoses. The pedestal was completely filled with a mm of water and it was pooring from the rear. The worst spot it could happen. I can't see anything down there. I had to empty the loop, disconnect the hoses to the case, remove the case from the pedestal and take everything apart. And that is just to see the reason behind the big leak. It was not funny, 't was very frustrating.
I took the bottom part apart in the bathtub. Man the entire bathtub was UV green. Well better that, than the desk and the floor.
It is all apart now, cleaned, wet and waiting for it to dry up really well before I go and put it back together.
I sometimes wish I just bought a Caselabs instead. I could find out what is wrong much easier that way.
But I can't go back now without finishing this. I need to look at a completely filled loop and the arch over it and everything turned on. I just have to!
Here are some pictures I took. Some I actually like a lot. But the loop didn't get filled up completely due to the big leak.
I am going to go and play a videogame tonight. I don't want to think about this build anymore tonight...

Any updates squire?
Sorry to hear about your bad luck
Hope you get everything sorted
I will keep coming back untill the beast of leakage has been defeated!
Thanks a lot man!
You are right! Next time.... EVEN MOAR WATERCOOLING!!!
Well since you ask ....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It finally happened! :clap:
I took the bottom apart for the 4th time, changed 2 fttings, put it all together for the 5th time, checked everything for the 5th time, filled the loop FOR THE 5TH BLOODY TIME. :miffed:
And... SUCCES!!!! NO MOAR LEAKAGE W0000000000000000T :rock:
I am so happy right now that I am going to cover you lot under a pile of photos.
I still put a 2 by 3 nbetween the case and the pedestal to be able to see leaks soon. I will now be taking those two from between and go ahead and finish some of the details I still need to do such as; midplate, sidePSU cover, SSD cover, sata cable to SSD xD, fit the arch and connect it all, fit the vandal switch, put in the PSUs. And then.... :jawdrop:
Oh crap I forgot about the sidewindow and the top window. Enough things to be done. Better get a move on Hukky.
But first.... :clap:
PS there are still some airbubbles in the CPU blocks. I will need to put the pumps a notch higher in power so they will force out those bubbles.
