Same here - Did you replace the bottom of the HK3 block with the piece of copper that you fabricated? If so, I presume that the o-ring seal is embedded in the "lid" of the block, and that you didn't have to machine a channel in the copper...
Yes exactly that, had a look around and that was the closest fitting block I could find, o-ring channel is in the acetal top so just a case of making a new base.

looking good, man I love this case
Simple and elegant. Just wish I had your tools/patience/skills to be able to pull off fabricating my own components.
Excellent piece.
Thanks, not really that much to it but I suppose it does take patience to get these things right.
Got my Bitspower fitting from OcUK on Tue, had to order another from a different supplier as OcUK were out of stock and thats still not turned up!
The adaptor for the Blu Ray is here, plus a replacement PSU is on its way!

I think I'm going to borrow a couple of your mods for my rebuild
The build is starting to really come together nicely now. The SSD mount and that re-orientation of the PSU to get the big rad in is very tidy
I don;t know how you have the patience to work on the aethetics and not play with the rig though - the wait is doing my head in!!!!

Looks fandabidosie! What temps are you getting on your 580?
edit...if all is working and done...or rather, when it IS working and done

Thanks, I've not patented any of my mods so feel free to copy and improve
Tonights plan is to get the system powered up, its been leak testing on and off over the weekend and all is still dry!
Fingers crossed everything still works!
Fingers crossed for you!
Its alive!!!
Only running with the OS drive currently but I've installed Aquasuite and set up a profile for each of the 4 fans, these use the sensors on the intake and outlet of the rad for reference.
So currenly idling with 2 of the 4 fans running at ~840rpm my CPU is ~30 degrees and the 580 is 23 degrees.
Its also whisper quiet which I'm happy about, if all goes well I should get higher fan speeds and more fans kicking in as the temp rises, I'm sure I'll have to alter the profiles a bit yet but I think its close.
