You're all good until someone leaves the hob on

You joke, but i accidently hit one of the hob buttons whilst working ! The smell of lightly singed tea towel alerted me

subbed. Really like the plate cover with the symbols!

Thanks, quite easy to do, but looks effective

Loving the look, the little custom touches truly make it yours.

Nice

Cheers, little bits here and there all add to it

looks incredible. Love the case and the braided cables.

Cheers, the case is 'marmite' glad you have my taste

Love that case dude,following this one

W_i_l_l · 5 Mar 2017 at 19:12

Wow, that case is insane!! Looks like this could be a stunner.

Will Gill · 6 Mar 2017 at 12:08

loving it, that's my next case sorted then

infact, the entire build is pretty much everything I'd want from a watercooling setup perpsective, if I send you my credit card details can you just hit the 'order again' button?

I see your GPU block is the same as mine mate, a TF6 but wrongly stamped by EK as a TF5...

Build's coming along very nicely though, choice of components goes perfectly with the case and the custom panel to replace the Jonsbo logo looks very neat

Thanks and well spotted, i hadn't noticed the block markings - Hope it fits :eek:

Another update.

As i wasn't going to be using the 'front' grill for fans i wanted to disguise it a little

Bought a suitable rad grill to cover the fan vents

Discarded the bolts that came with it, and chose something more fitting to the build

Combine the red washers with countersunk bolts and you get a more pleasing look.

added some mesh backing

(the little white mark is a bit of fluff, thankfully not a scratch)

As my current PSU was 7 years old i treated myself to a new one.

As the psu is suspended in the case i didn't trust the little screws that came with it, so bought some sturdier bolts to take the weight.

Brizzles · 8 Mar 2017 at 00:27

Had a play around with some lighting.

Problem was it washed out the red colour of the fans

So my original strip lights went on a diet and ended up behind the reservoir

Yes, the reservoir need a clean !!

Lighting sorted ( for now ) , and onto the start of the plumbing.

Nanoxia CoolForce

I will be using plenty of 90 degree fittings , as oppose to hardline bending, as i think it looks better in this build. Hardline look great in clean/minimalistic builds but the insides of my build are far from minimal and i think it falls inline with the 'industrial' look of the Monsoon reservoir.

Next stage is transferring my current hardware into this case and finish the plumbing.

Thanks for looking

Had me worried for a bit mate but even the TF6 block pictured on their website is stamped as a TF5. Oh yes, and the block fits perfectly

Brizzles · 11 Mar 2017 at 20:18

Another update.

Removed the hardware from my current case, and prep'd it for the new case.

Mobo ready

GPU block fitted

Nice thumb prints

Plumbing done and leak testing

Leak testing completed yesterday, without issue.

Couple of picks from today, still need to tidy a few cables

HoneyBadger · 11 Mar 2017 at 22:50

Looks great!

How are you finding the CoolForce fittings? I ask because I've just ordered a load to go with my EK fittings.

The CoolForce fittings feel far better built imo, i had a bunch of EK fittings but sent them back after trying these.

Thanks for the fast reply, sounds pretty good.

Your build is stunning

Nice work mate, that is one stupendously tidy build *massive thumbs up*

Ms_Delgado · 16 Mar 2017 at 10:57

This is freaking loco!!!

may i ask how much time and money on this, it is a work of art i adore what you have created.

TheRedScot · 25 Mar 2017 at 21:17

Stunning build

Steco · 31 Mar 2017 at 11:53

Stunning build, just finished my first loop, yesterday. Same case thoug, it is really stunning I must say, could you link the valve and the washers you found on eBay? Can't find it and it looks like you had perfect matching colors

Smffy · 31 Mar 2017 at 15:33

Very nice finish mate, big fan of the small details like the anodised washers and it really looks like a quality build. I'm currently trying my ass off to find some chunky thumb screws like those on the glass - are they originals or you replaced? Also are they M4 or larger?

Cheers!
