Love that case and the Black and Green but damn Asus with their red bits

If only they did a black edition for X99.

Still, look forward to seeing you hide it with GPUs!

Watching with interest!

Some pumps ready for action

How to get two PSUs running together, with a lead like this.

Tubing

Leak testing next, one of the jobs I hate.

Given that you cannot see the green coolant because nothing is transparent, I'm going ot have to quote the words of wisdom a friend of mine uttered when I was looking at coloured coolants: "Colourless coolant will look a lot less bad when it ****es all over your carpet!"
Sad thing is he was proved to be right when pressure cracked the external flow indicator I had.

Funny you should mention that, I have just started leak testing and got one on a rad at the bottom. Fortunately I have a load of quick disconnects in the system and it was just a case of unplugging the rad, blowing it out and changing the fitting. This is the first time I have seen a monsoon fitting fail though, at least I hope it is the fitting.

Here is the coolant but no one is going to see it

And yes it stains pretty good lol.

Only one SSD but 1TB is plenty

I can not show where I put it as on this case the SSDs go under the midplate.

You can also use behind the motherboard tray as well.

Loving the build especially the wild green !

You need to change your bed covers though , they aren't good for the build photos

JasonM · 31 Oct 2014 at 00:27

Nice build, should be a while before you need to upgrade with those components also :cool:

Cosimo · 3 Nov 2014 at 08:39

Build is looking good.

Thanks everyone.

Holy hell Kaap, Gonna be an expensive couple of months for you with the Titan II coming up :eek:

I'd love your job !!!

*EDIT*

Even more leaks of the 8GB 980's are springing up, Maybe should have waited for those as you game at 4K ?

Here I thought you were sitting the 980 out waiting for the next release of maxwell highend

They do look o so nice

I don't think Kaap could resist the shininess of the 980's

And 4 waterblocks?

Looks like the Maxwell Titan could be quite a wait, my gut feeling is NVidia are going to stick to a similar roll out they did with Kepler. This means that the Titans are still nearly a year away.

It all depends what happens in the next couple of months with the Maxwell Titan, I have made it easy for watercooling by going for reference cards if I need the liquid option.
