Project: Aquasidian (Corsair 800D)

Right, I've opened up a PhotoBucket account and slapped all the pics in there. I've been meanng to sort out all my photos anyway off my hosting so was a good a time as any :)

I think I've updated all the links in this thread, any I've missed let me know.

I've also realised I forgot to post the pics of how I mounted the Lian Li drive bezel covers, so I need to get that done this week, along with making time for some final pics.

The dust filters I purchased are working excellently, so it will only need a quick blast of canned air to freshen it up after running since the initial build!

Right, time for a small update seeing as I've made a slight change to the system and it's been 6 months since this was all started.

For the main rear fan I wanted one with blue blades or at least something blue related but couldn't find anything in a 140mm size at the time. So I ended up with a Zigmatech smoked one with white led's in it which I have to say was quite nice. Anyway, I noticed last week a place selling the same fan but with a blue blade so couldn't resist :)

I ended up buying two actually as I'd always thought the lower fan in the middle case floor / partition could do with being an led fan to put a small amount of light under that floor. So today I got round to braiding the cables and fitting them in the system...

Lower fan fitted, not the best picture but shows how it now put some lights on the lower pipes:

Quick overall picture:

And the last one for this update:

I know the new fans aren't the same aqua colour as the rest of the project but they do actually match the darker blue braid used for the alternate colour on some of the cables, so I think they work quite nicely overall.

I have to say that I'm still very impressed with the clinical grade dust filters, apart from a quick blast with the air can it really is still incredibly clean inside as the pictures show.

So I'll leave it there for now, I'm still hoping to get some proper final shots taken of the system and all details, especially now I've got these two fans installed which I've been thinking about for weeks.

amazing build mate, absolutely stunning
sorry to be a pain, but can you list how many fittings you used? and say the outer diameter of your tubing?
I'm basically building the exact same system, although I may go with the 5970
also, what monitors are you looking to run on that bad boy?

Used 4 straight fittings, 2 on the radiator in and out and 2 on the pump in and out (using the dtek modified pump top tho). Then the rest were the 45 deg angle fittings, 6 in total, 2 cpu block, 2 gfx block and 2 on the res.

It's all using the 1/2" tygon tubing.

Cheers everyone!
 
Sorry, it's not the Dtek is made by EK WaterBlocks. It's the swiftec 655 / Lang D5 pump but with a different top to allow different inlet and outlet options. The part is called "EK-D5 X-TOP - Acetal G1/4 Rev.2" if you want to have a google for it.

I think the tube is 3/4" but I'm not certain so you'd need to check the info for the Tygon tube.
