[Project Black hole] - CaseLabs TH10A

Thanks man!

Should have some nice updates soon as I am going away for a month and hope to get my fittings and graphics cards while away and then mobo/cpu/ram when back to finish everything off.
 
Full Custom Corsair AX1500i Cables by James at Pexon PCs

Yes I am lazy but I wanted the best and done right!

Full cables, not extensions to my own specified lengths in Lutro0/E22 Blue, Purple and Dark Grey sleeve.

1x 24 Pin
2x 8 Pin
1x 6 PCI/E
6x 6+2 Pin PCI/E

Plus he also made me some Molex and SATA cables in black to my own specs for powering HDD, pumps and Aquaero without having to use the long stock ribbon style cables.

The Blue and Purple will be the colours I will try and match my coolant to in the GPU and CPU loops and I picked the Dark Grey to try and match some of the colours on the Asus X99-E WS board I plan to get.

Really happy with how they turned out, I didn't want the Blue and Purple to be too overpowering and bright.
I think once installed with everything else being dark and black expect for these cables and coolant it should look great!
 
I bought a nice selection of 7/16 Bitspower fittings, including mini valves for drain ports on both loops and a few 16mm acrylic links which I may use between graphics cards instead of a bridge block.
I am not going to unwrap them all yet as I have to travel home still and don't want to damage the paint.
So just a quick picture for now.

Absolutely love the attention to detail flushing the rads; like cycling a tank ;-)

Hah yeah, up until this year I had been keeping marine for almost 15 years!


Don't be, have a good un :)

Only a week left :(

Could be more delay with my build though as I would like the EVGA 980 Classified cards but there is no point in buying them until someone makes a waterblock to fit them.
If that doesn't happen then I don't know what I will do, left it so late now to just by reference cards.

Yep, I broke my tanks down when I started spending money on GPU's lol

Possibly wait on Titan 2?

I bought my 780ti DHS about two months back and I'm already concerned about the apparent lack of VRAM on the latest titles. The "next gen" consoles seem to have really shafted us as far as lazy devs are concerned. I don't want to spend another £300 on a SLI setup to be running out of VRAM in a few months time.

That MOBO is a work of art, it's so refreshing to not come across a Black and Red build.

Sub'd.
 
The problem is I only have my 680s and a 290X so I need GPUs for this build!

What I hope is that the 980 Classified uses the same PCB as the 780 Classified so the EK block will fit and I can buy old stock or almost fit and EK can launch a new block in days not weeks.
 
Hah sorry Andy, kind of stuck on what to buy, I want 980s but want to wait for something better :rolleyes:

As long as I am done before GTA 5 / Witcher 3 / Evolve releases then no problem :p
 
Just a small update for anyone wondering what I am doing.

I have decided I am going to wait for the next lot of graphics cards to be launched before I buy my hardware so no updates until then I'm afraid!
 
Are you waiting for something like GTX 990 or whatever it might be called?

I do like you cables though, very interesting colours you've chosen there. Hope you don't have to wait too long for these next gen gpu's. Maybe you could just stick a 970 in there until you get what you really want later ;) So we can see some more progress :D

Keep up the good work though.
