Daily/Weekly update on the bottom of the Opening Post

front radiator, GPU pump and draining tube:

The XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25” Reservoir for Two Laing DDC has a design flaw, that tube inside the reservoir goes straight to the pump intake and because of the speed of the pump any air that wants to come out is pulled by the pump, so I had to cut a tube and make a barrier, so the air would raise instead going back to the loop.

Tube:

Tube inside the reservoir, I removed the tube after all air was out.

Testing my custom panel that shows the voltages going to each pump and one temperature sensor that I don't know where I will use it yet.

Since the Enthoo primo comes with a blue led strip, my front lights will be blue and my internal lights will be red to match the MB and Fans.

You can change the blue led strip quite easily, if you find a narrow enough strip. Mine is amber/yellow now. If you wanted to match it more to your interior.

Nice, thanks for it.
But I will keep it blue as I like blue on outside, also my front panel is blue and my fan controller as well.
 
Always nice to see another Enthoo Primo build! Looking very nice!!

Thanks :)

some updates:

Blue front lights are done:

Pump voltage controllers are hidden and can be found under the top mesh

Now I need to sort out the wires, temperature sensors and fan controllers as I'm going to use 2:

I got a e-mail from someone asking about the AX360 on the bottom of the case, as it actually doesn't fit.

If you see on this picture, you can see that it doesn't fit, but if you straighten that marked spot, the rad will fit.
