Cables are here

Gonna drill the cable holes, buy the heatgun on thursday and start bendning.

natsu · 7 Jan 2015 at 22:39

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.

Looking good so far.

Get a set of drills like these, come in very handy http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/3-part-titanium-step-drill-set-n14hn

how does the res keep bubbles out of the loop from the waterfall effect?

looks awesome

I'll find out pretty soon. Better question. How do I fill it?

Tefal · 10 Jan 2015 at 10:56

so does it enter from the top an drain from the bottom or the top as well?

natsu · 10 Jan 2015 at 11:54

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

Tefal · 10 Jan 2015 at 12:54

maybe run it with a T line sticking up and open with say 3ft vertical hose at the high point of the loop to act as a bubble eliminator?

then remove once all the bubbles are out.

natsu · 10 Jan 2015 at 13:14

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

Tefal · 10 Jan 2015 at 13:33

hole in the top an a fill port?

natsu · 10 Jan 2015 at 14:39

I'm not gonna cut the unibody

Kipz · 12 Jan 2015 at 16:32

That res looks awesome.

natsu · 13 Jan 2015 at 23:26

The most difficult bend is done. Now everything is easy and I should have enough acrylic to play some more with bending

natsu · 15 Jan 2015 at 00:08

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

natsu · 18 Jan 2015 at 14:27

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.

natsu · 19 Jan 2015 at 11:05

More to come
