Thanks

I use Google sketchup 8 for all of my 3D work at the moment.
Then I render the images with indigo renderer.

Update 10

Got the case and the motherboard

McGraw · 4 Mar 2015 at 12:17

Looks awesome.

I wish I had the strength of will to spend some money on a bit of proper watercooling but every spare penny goes on drives/games/peripherals.

The fact that you attempted this on older kit is even more impressive.

Last update until the build takes place

jacob1995knight · 7 Mar 2015 at 02:26

Update 13 THE BUILD!

Well finally, getting to put stuff into the case at the moment

So far, i have fitted:

240 Radiator
360 Radiator
480 Radiator
all

18

fans hahahaha
Routed all fan cables + extension cables as well

Not a lot of room but its enough

Sweet case

weighs more then me

Finally got the motherboard!!!

Now thats a lot of fan cables

Test fitting the new fan cables

Soooon

Now that if i may say so myself is a lot of fans

Stripping the case

This was one hell of a challange!

The PE series is very wide, as i found out....

had to mod the case a little

Fitting all the fans

Working on the wiring

and then testing the fans

More to come, the fittings will arrive monday so bring on the bending
