Ooooh, now that's nice.....
Time to get this finished, at long last !
After the disaster of the failing motherboard, everything had to be stripped out.
Gave me a chance to sneak a small upgrade in
So now its an Asus Maximus II Formula with a QX6850 chip.
Damaged the perspex rad shroud during the strip down, so that has gone.
Not such a problem as it was kinda dark, so it gave me the option to get some light in there via some extra fans:
Button head bolts and dome nuts for fixings.
New CPU block has been added, probably the nicest looking 775 block that i've seen, a Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme Performance CPU waterblock Rev 2.

At the moment it sat on the kitchen table, with 2 china cats for company 
Just waiting on a Mips NB block from Germany before i can finish the loop, as the Swiftech one i was going to use soaked me and the mobo when i plumbed it in, dodgy thread i think.
A rough idea of what the reservoirs will look like, excuse the dust and stuff - Still needs a decent polish ;
Lastly, something for the top window, a name
Printed onto the back of some window frosting film it will give the effect of etching on the inside of the acrylic window.
Just need to have a steady hand cutting it out with my scalpel.
Cheers for popping by, back soon.

This is an amazing build. I envy your skills.
Thanks all
Well the window went far easier then i thought, just finished it.
All cut, ready for the window :
The finished article, roughly lit to show the effect ;
1 block to fit, then re-sort the wiring
Cheers.

truly awesome, how come you are using more white braiding now ?
i prefare the black and purple to give it more of a contrast.

Most of the white braid will go, they were extension cables i'd braided earlier.
The main power 24pin and the 8 pin mobo connectors will be black/purple braided as originally done.
I'm keeping the white braid on the graphics card leads though, needs abit of tidying up first, as it kinda goes with the tubing in the front section.
Cheers.
That is one nice rig mate
Great job
Thank you
Wonderful work Mark!
Looks ace - i particularly love the 'frosted style' named window.

Cheers mate
Just an idea i had, turned out OK i think.

Really nice build log, and the product is just as good as the process.
Loved the story so far and can't wait for the glossy photo finish.
