Yay! You've not forgotten us.

The ali looks really tidy - any ideas how you are going to finish it?

soon... working on the grill mounting, incredibly simple idea, tedious to make

and the hole in the rear panel is done for the motherboard I/O, pics soon.

How did you end up mounting the grills on either side?

 

[pioneer2000]

Oh and how thick is the aluminium you've used for your motherboard tray?

 

[The Boy Riley]

Oh and how thick is the aluminium you've used for your motherboard tray?

3mm on the tray 2mm on the other panels

Been getting on with the wiring layout and tubing this weekend, so here's some pictures

Picked up some fittings so I could see what they look like in person and how many I'll need with the layout etc, got some test tubing too so don't get scared off by the horrible white tube.

Dropped the Radiators in one side and put the grills on, last thing I wanted was to put my finger through one of them whilst wrestling tubing.


This seemed like the easiest and least kink-worthy way to do the rads and it looks awesome, the pictures unfortunately don't do the fittings justice.





moved onto playing with the motherboard, so I cracked out the CPU and RAM blocks for a play.



these look nice, but I'll be swapping the angles for 90 degrees then I wont need any other rotary joints for the rest of the board (apart from ram block to res at the end)

Found some tubing from my last rig (shows the quality of Tygon as its been sat for 4 1/2 years and is still perfect) using the tygon gave a much better visual than the white stuff but it is only 7/16 so the real thing will be a smidge thicker but the extra flex was really noticeable compared to the XSPC white stuff. I was a bit shocked at the difference as a lot of people I've spoken to rave on about the XSPC tubing, but then again Tygon is about 5 times the price...





Spent the rest of today cutting down some offcuts of box section to start the hard drive brackets and they look good so far



Reverse progress :O

Had a setback with the wiring, I had to send back my Aquaero so I'll be jumping back on the fans and whatnot once I get a new one, should be trying to forge ahead with the rest of the wiring though.

Thanks for reading
