Test bend. Not as bad as I expected it to be

Drilled holes for MB cut out

All I need now is some time and covers and I'm ready to finish my build
 
UPDATE

Small but still progress. 2 parts of the loop done. GPU-RAM is different to the picture and gives me a headache

UPDATE

Cutting for 360 is done. Fits like a glove :)

Had to re-route the tubing and I found that I need a bigger drill. 12mm is not big enough and need to buy 14 and maybe 20-23mm for pass through.
 
The loop is gonna look something like pump-480-360-gpu-ram-cpu-res-pump
Need to find out the easiest way to fill it. With EK d5 top there is only 1 inlet and this makes things tricky. With 2 inlets I would just use other inlet to fill it but now it's more complicated
 
I'll find out what happens to the bubbles once I fill it with DI water to do a leak test. I know (more or less) how to fill it but with PSU inside there so little space to work with
 
The most difficult bend is done. Now everything is easy and I should have enough acrylic to play some more with bending

The covers are here smile.gif Bad news is that the shop I bought 3 fans from sent it to my default adress, not the one I asked them to use... So I'm not getting fans this week, mostlikely next week will install them

As for the front

Found nice place for AQ5

Well... There is a problem. My aq5lt seems to be DOA so need to send it back to special shop. Black Friday deal was not exactly a deal...
My mesh cover for 5.25 is missing. I sent 5 of them and now there is only 4.
Since I no longer live in uk I need to send panel back abroad and either buy mesh from uk or use top mesh from my ft02.
Good news is that my pc is up and running but still need 1 more pcie extension because 1 of them is faulty.
 
No pictures yet but I replaced all the screws at the back and swapped the sidepanel from outside to inside. Waiting for alu covers and if they fit (they should since I sent cdr file) I'll send them to be powdercoated. Still waiting for fdd extension and hopefully today I'll get top mesh i'm missing (getting last box of my things form uk now). If not I'm gonna have to order another one from chilledpc
 
Some bright mind at specialtech decided to send my money to PP account I have not been using for 2 years or so. Instead of sendng the money to the PP account they got the money from they found my old PP and I don't think I'll get the money back now. GG Specialtech
 
OK, so there is a small no picture update :)
I've been trying to get TJ07 mesh for a few weeks now. ChilledPC have it in stock but when I'm trying to pay the system says there is no payment method. No answer for my emails so I gave up on them.
Then I emailed SS Europe and they have it in stock. 6 euro for piece and I think, great I'll get one then.
Yesterday they emailed me and it turnes out that with shipping it's 28 euros. 18 euros for shipping from DE to PL. It's a joke. I'm not doing mesh anymore, there will be something else instead, something that I can get locally.
Cables are almost ready so there is only 2 thing to do now before photos :)
 
The bearings are fine, everything You can hear is moving air. I have set them to 900rpm and this makes them very silent to me and look very nice. Noctua industrial's is a bit louder at the same speed. Still about 2 weeks left for final pics. Have to wait for alu covers to be sent to me and then send them to be powdercoated, need new top window since I used my clear version for the 5.25 cover.
 
I like what I received today :)

Don't know about using new backplate. Drilling the case with hardware inside is not the best thing to do but front and psu plate are going to be used :)
