Project Maximus Monsta

I had originally planned on having blood red mayhems coolant for this build but I gave it a test and found that the colour looked more similar to wine and would work in my build. I then decided to give Mayhems pastel red a try and I really like the colour.

Also spent today cleaning my Gpu water blocks and filled one with the pastal red to see how it looked.

Since I was so happy with the white powder coat on my fan grills I got to thinking what else could I powder coat white in the build. My plan is to get the black bracket on my cpu water block, gnu back plates and the faceplate for my xspc bay res all white. What do you think? will it be too much white.?

Case has finally arrived....pics later.

In the meantime i got some more bits powder coated

Here are some mid build pics, really happy how the mods have turned out and how clean it looks, its a bit top heavy with my Matx boar but still love how it looks. Just waiting for my cpu bracket and gpu backplates to come back from the powder coaters then i can start tubing up. What do you think?

Looks great

Very sexy. That 360mm Monsta is enormous!

Picked up the last of my powder coated bits, now all i need to do is tube it up.

That looks brilliant

Thanks

Do you have any of the back of the mobo tray? Inetersted to see how you've manage to keep that so clean looking

fireisdangerous · 26 May 2013 at 16:49

here is a pic of the cuts, there is basically just enough room round the edges of the mobo to fit the cables through.

I have started to tube up the build but need some feedback. I am going to use black tubing but have used some clear tubing just to test length etc.

The aim is to keep the loop as clean as possible to match with the rest of the build. What do you guys think of the first attempt of the loop. Any suggestions are more then welcome

Changed the look a bit what do you think?

The second one (this one) looks better to me

I like the second one a bit more!

Nice build! Very Clean and tidy.

I prefer the original CPU-radiator tubing, and think the GPU-radiator tubing would look better with the 45° but without the extender.

Awesome mate! It's really nice to see such a dark case with just the right amount of white to brighten it up.
It's actually quite refreshing to see a nice clean loop with traditional tubing. With new flavour of the month acrylic hard tubing things can quickly get too messy.
Look forward to seeing more!

Looks really nice man

I like what you've done in the second pic.

Thanks for all the coments on my loops much appriciated. Think I am happy with the final loop and have now used the black tubing as planned. Although it is black, it is a gloss black so will reflect the led's in the case nicley (when I put them in!). What do you think?

I think it looks great
