Watercooled Case Gallery

Avenged7Fold · 25 Feb 2014 at 20:24

My latest build with a few pics. Not finished by a mile but enough so i can take a few piccies.

Have a cable shield going in this week if i can get it finished. I am looking into trying to get it to light up the EK logo or do something tron like but am struggling to cut thin plexi without breaking or snapping it. Dremel, hacksaw, sheers, braid scissors, panel cutters and all i have to show for it is a ton of broken plastic and a receipt for it.

Looks great.

Did you pull that straight out of Tron?!

hawkhench · 25 Feb 2014 at 20:58

That coolant colour works really well.

I love tron deco. Going to start troning it up soon with EL wire and light panels!

Thanks guys, i tried really hard but when i took the first set of pictures, just looked like a load of brown.

Now i tried taking pictures with a camera rather than a toaster, and the colours are really picking up!

Another Air540.

I won a 540 on the auction site today and the guy was selling some white BitFenix braided cables as well. I wouldn't have picked them personally (same mobo, I wanted orange or orange/black) but for the price I thought why not.

Seeing that case again actually makes me think they might work, which is reassuring. Just gotta wait a while to watercool the whole thing now

I was actually going to go for orange braided cable, but opted for white because it compliments the tubing and the corsair fan rings IMO.

@Avenged
Love it. Any chance you could zoom out a little and show us the full glory?

@Frosty
Same to you

@String
Very nice mate

As for me, I just swapped out the Celeron on the tri 290 mining rig for a 2600K and changed the mobo to a Z77-V premium to get x8/x8/x8 for the odd bit of gaming and benching here and there.
It wasn't really built with looks in mind, but here ya go anyway

Uncle Petey: is that one huge rad or two mounted together?

Uncle Petey · 26 Feb 2014 at 18:22

Cheers Neil

Hawkhench: It's one of these.

Moved from an AMD 790FX system to an intel X79 system back in January.

This thread is great. I've got a long way to go! And a lot of money to earn first

Still only creating my first ever loop, very basic but hopefully will get to these standards over the next few years!

Great work guys!
