looking good so far.. nice bends too.

Is that free hand/ eyeballing or did you use a jig?

Started with the corsair kit, however they were to large a radius for most turns, so ended up free hand with the a spirit level and a lot of patience.

Think I used 10metres, however im very OCD, so literally a mm out and it was scrapped.

Looks ace! Love the colour scheme.

Very nice mate! Good job!

Looks great, that tube in the top left must have taken some attempts to get right!

Beautiful build.

Favourite part is the white backplate. Did you not consider spraying the IO shield and VRM heatsinks as well ?

Thanks. I did consider it, however because the MB is black thought it might just break up the all white.
Same as the back PCI covers, kept them grey just to keep abit of colour breakup.

7!!! I am ashamed to admit. 5 of which fitted fine but I wanted to line it up with the return pipe behind it perfectly.

Thanks all.

Windows installed and first benchmarks being run

Well the old one is out

In to where it belongs on the desk, just fits!

Quite pleased and love the IQUE system with the different lighting styles and fan control profiles. Just waiting on the IQUE desk pad now.
