Project: TOXIC GREEN

Today after work, i went out to the shed and fired up the lazer cutter.
Done 4 of these fan covers for the project
They are etched so the light can travel better through the acrylic (making them glow)

I like the look of the fan grills and the painted memory (It looks like it was meant to be that way). The fan grills aren't too over the top but are stylish enough to look great when the lights are on and shining behind them :)

Great work and I look forward to seeing more :)
 
Brilliant work so far, this thing is going to be crazy! Fair play to anyone with the balls to make big mods to the case, I'd always be too scared of messing it up :p
 
Day off work today, so i got the shrouds finished.
(Not fitted yet, will get that done once i know the loop is all working)

Now you'll question.. ''Why is there a hole in the front inner shroud ?''
Well... hopefully this answers your question

This res will be backlit with a UV light, to make that green coolant pop!
 
Looking great, I'm just about to rebuild mine ( tomorrow ) with a similar colour scheme in a Black/Green Enthoo Primo, got to love UV Green does stand out great, liking the shrouds for the fan and the reservoir, I need something to cover my asus posiedon 980 ti sli as the red/grey/black doesn't quite match given me ideas now.
 
Finished the other 2 fan grills.

Now, i'm currently testing the loop, making sure it all runs silky smoooootthhh..
Bought Mayhem's X1 UV Green. Arrived in a white bottle (advertised in a clear bottle)
Poured some into the res, looked awesome.
Now i've shaked up the bottle and filled the loop, only to discover it's an aurora ?
UV aurora ?
Should i contact Mayhem and let them know that this could be a problem or a mistake on their production line?
I'm personally happy either way, it looks friggin awesome!

Will leave this running for 4-6 hours, top it up and then shut it down for the next few stages.

Looks great man!

Thanks!

Been so many last second changes have paid off, including the res position, CPU block change, fan covers.

I'm very very pleased with the work so far, still lots of work to do, but i'm gonna say i'm close to the half way point.

This looks great I love black n green combo. Nearly thought you had a blue cpu block until you showed it with the cover, phew! Also agree the fans look awesome

i was going to go with the CPU Block/pump from Fractal.
However it wasn't powerful enough to add a res to the loop.
Pulled out the blue CPU block i had, re-sprayed it, slapped it in :)
 
Those custom shrouds look great as they seem to fit perfectly and focus your attention onto the components in the system. (I think I'm developing a soft spot for custom shroud/cover mods :D)
The system certainly appears to be coming on in leaps and bounds as it is looking great so far. :) Just wondering though about the GPU mount (Sorry if this has been asked already) but is it secure in the current position or will you be adding any more mounting parts to it in the future ?
 
If those shrouds are still cardboard, maybe you should consider moving the reservoir up a bit so that none of it is covered by the GPU. Like, it should be at the midpoint between the top of the GPU and the top of the case IMO.

That is, if you can even move it now.

Originally wasn't going to slant the inner shroud like i have done now, but glad i did.
Have recently drilled 24 holes on it for the 24pin cable to come through. Trying to keep everything neat.
Next step is making the roof of the shrouds above the CPU block.
Cutting out holes for the pipes and making that look neat and tidy too.

Atm, the GPU is pretty secure as long as you're not moving the case around.
However it's being shipped out to computex in taiwan, so i'll need to make a small fitting on the back of the case to secure the GPU to (incase people prod it at the show.

I wish i had made it a little higher, but unfortunately, this is acrylic now. from straight on, the GPU doesn't actually block any of the res.
Once i get the plastics back in, i'll show you what i mean :)
