Where are you getting it made or making yourself?

will make them myself using acrylic.

I have the case now but instead of doing photos myself, this animation from Thermaltake will be more useful in demonstrating the capabilities of this case. Gigantic case really.

I love dual loop builds! Can't wait to see yours. If I were you, I'd make it extra special by mixing my own colours. Get the white pastel fluid, and then add dyes.

That's the current plan but I am also considering the use of distilled water with biocide and dyes.

I'm pretty sure Mayhems dyes, as well as Mayhems pastel mix, contain biocide already.

Ooh, you know what you should actually do? One loop pastel green, and the other loop transparent purple. I don't think I've seen a system that mixes opaque and transparent loops. If you added UV reactive to both, you've got a hell of a look going.

This is assuming you were planning to do green and purple. I would almost rather see pastel purple / dark transparent purple, or sky blue pastel / transparent cyan.

Things to think about, I guess.

I am talking about biocide only if I use distilled water with dyes for a transparent look. I am actually inclining towards that option. Otherwise Pastel comes with all the additives so I need not to add anything to it other than dyes.

Nice idea, please use a less offensive to my eyes project logo

. Free of charge made for you... Use away, to stop my headache hehe.

faheemrazzaq · 31 Jul 2018 at 00:15

@Smffy . That's a beautiful theme. But unfortunately I have gone quite a long way forward with the other logo

. So your eyes have to take that

Thanks mate. I hope it looks good when finished.

The reservoirs are finished. Made out of 5mm clear acrylic. Dimensions are 41cm x 5cm x 5cm. Liquid capacity 0.7L. Used the right size drill bit and tap to make G1/4 fitting ports.

This is the basic layout of the build. I have taken out a lot of stuff from the case to make space for a custom base. Working with acrylic sheets to build everything now.

GPU Back Plate is ready; fitted with RGB strip.
