Project YinYang

After a very long weekend I have finally got a working PC =D

There are few things that still need doing however
The front side panel still needs to be finished.. Awaiting grill for one of the fans.
The top shroud will need to be added as well... Again im waiting on that to get posted =)
Got some porblems with air in the loop... not quite sure what to do here because of the way i have the resivoirs setup... I cant move them, so any other suggestions would be great, thanks =)


Problems I encounted...

Well the biggest one with this wa the fact that due to the thickness of the poweder coat, the side panels dont seem to fit on snugly anymore... So at the end of the day, I had to drill some holes in the top and attach with self tapping screws... not glamorous... but it works!

Also have problems with my LED connections on my fans.. they kept breaking...

Anyways, let me show you what it looks like =)

Graphics Card,

So I forgot to add some pictures of the graphics card and blocks last time so just took a few before i installed it.

Side Panel fans.

Because the grills are quite constricting with regards to air flow i decided to have the grills raised from the panel by 5mm. Adds some more body to the case too =)

Radiators =)

The bottom Rad was a tight fit which is probably a good thing, becase its holding up the middle panel =P

Resivoirs & Pumps

They are drilled into the motherboard tray.. Big issue with this is if i want to move them, then i would need to drain the loop because the res will be come detached from the pump.

Loops and internals.

The loops were a bit tricky to setup.. lots of kinkin so had to use come coil in places unfortunately..

Thats about it for now.
 
That panel looks great, realy like! Self tappers arent too bad, funky alenkey fittings always look good imho!

The gpu block is stunning also, not seen that EK joining block before, what is it called?

Huge update with tonnes of pics- just what my morning needed, thanks! :D

It's one of these
EK-FC Dual Sli Bridge
(thats the top bit)

And two of these attached it each card
EK FC Link GeForce

Actaully had to have the specaily ordered as it was out of stock almost everywhere! haha.


I forgot to mention I am still waiting on a tinted black perspex sheet to go behind the dragon to add some stability.. I'm just hoping it doesnt cause the side panel to bludge too much =(
 
Is that cable clutter I can see behind that awesome side panel motif? Maybe a thin sheet of opaque black or at least semi-translucent acrylic sheeting behind it.

Looks like the LEDs you fitted to those fans are dimmer than your keyboard but if you are happy then that's superb. Did you go with your original wiring through the resistor or did you bypass them?

Looking very good though Solemn but please get a half decent Camera. :)

Yea the Fans are very Dim=( I got lazy and didnt bother with rewiring everything, I tried the by passing the resistors but it didn't seem to make much of a difference so i must have done something wrong there =P
Maybe in the future I'll look to fixing them =)

As for the awesome side panel with wiring. I have almost no space behind the panel so will only be doing this if i can still close the panel... I bought a tinted black perpex sheet which should be with me tomorrow =)


And as for the camera.... does it look like i have any money left to spend of such trivial things! hahaha
 
Can't believe I missed the finishing steps to this. Great work!
I know it's probably not to many peoples tastes but I really like the dragon yin-yang on the side panel.
 
Cheers guys =)

I actauly just recently broke it all down when my PSU packed up... that'll teach me to buy a second hand PSU! lol


The case itself is for sale in members market if any one is interested.
