How is the plexiglass mounted to the GPU's? (I'm assuming some double sided tape).

What are the measure ments for the 470 backplates? I am guessing you need them to order from that website.
Also, stunning build mate, can't wait to see it's finished.

Yes, it's 3mm double sided tape, just stuck the corners..

What do you mean? Did you buy a prebuilt for £3000?

Hi, if I remember correctly I measured them at 100mm x 240mm

.................................

Finally got a bit of an update...

It was about time I got the case filled with something so I started with the rads and tube res.. The tube res is by no means set to go there, just playing around with some ideas at the moment..

Anyway, here we go..

.....and the bigger picture..

That looks ****** epic!!! :cool:

no i fancied a gaming pc as ive always been console....so i drove up to overclockers and ended up spending just shy of 2000 quid lol. then i joined the forums and went on the project page and well ... now ive spent another £1000 on watercooling plus a bigger case and cable braiding ect

. anyway thankyou for showing your build it is truly amazing

This is looking absolutely superb, I can't wait to see it with the Motherboard installed and everything connected up. Possibly my favourite build on this whole site. Keep up the outstanding quality of work

Keenan are you going to dip your psu as well?
Looks really good mate.

Nope, but something better....I hope

Had a little bit of time today and started on the .... wait, it should be quite noticeable from the rough "blueprint" ..

I just read through your log, just wanted to say its very impressive work you are doing and I look forward to seeing more. Subbed

One question...Will you been doing something to blend in the securing screws on the Rad ?

weirdGuy · 11 Sep 2013 at 21:34

I'm astounded by this log. I have hated this case ever since I first saw it, but you've gone a long way in showing me how good it can look!

Can't wait to see the end result, love that camo transfer.

OpenToSuggestions · 11 Sep 2013 at 21:44

Excellent project! I look forward to updates!!

Holy mother of god! :eek:

, awesome build log and fantastic pictures

Hyburnate · 12 Sep 2013 at 01:17

This is awesome...

keenan · 12 Sep 2013 at 12:31

Ok, I left the glue to harden over night and did a quick test fit this morning..

Perfect fit..

Thinking I should widen the the two "damaged" parts on the case opening side to join them together..

DJ_Bucho · 12 Sep 2013 at 15:10

I DON'T BELIEVE IT! You just never fail to amaze, that PSU cover is AWESOME! I presume it's going to get the full treatment like the backplates for the graphics card did, in which case this is going to look amazing.

I simply can't wait until you get that motherboard in there, do you have a full on side shot of the whole case, or are you waiting until you've finished it before revealing all. Either way, I wanna see the finished result, but in another strange twist I don't want this thread to ever end... It just keeps getting better and better.

colinmcr · 13 Sep 2013 at 00:13

Love the psu cover, nice touch.

Meoricin · 13 Sep 2013 at 02:42

Some really inspired work here! Loving it. Seeing your home-made backplates for the GPUs has made me think about my own, as well - certainly saves the bother of finding ones that'll fit my non-reference card.

ETA: How are you attaching them? I can't see any screws - double-sided sticky?
