Im just using it as a HTPC for my living room so will just mount my ssd in the 5.25 drive tray. All my data is on my media server so only need one hard drive for the os.

Here is a quick mock up of the tubing, wont be using white just had some lying around from a previous build. Still dont think there is enought room to put a gpu block on the card.

Excellent work! Coming on a treat! :cool:

Regarding the GPU - is it that the space is limited down the side of the card and that a full cover block would stick out the side and interfere with the res?

If that's the case then would a core only block work better?

I think you'll get an XSPC Rasa GPU block in there - the fittings come out the top.

Block sideshot

Love the colours. Nice.

Keep up the good work!

This looks like a nice tidy build, I think you have inspired me to build myself a HTPC. Looking forward to more updates!

This is amazing. I know SFF builds are hard to do as i used a Lian Li V351. Watercooling in a rig this size is an impressive feat.
I can't wait to see it doing its thing!

Right finally an update, got my hands on the new mayhems pastel fluid and filled up the loop. The fluid like amazing!!!!

I.. I... I loove it.

Res > Pump > RAD1 > GFX > CPU > RAD2 > Res?

Have fitted everything apart from the ssd. Again the flash makes the psu braiding look shiney but its not. Need to tidy the wires up a bit but there is no cable management in this case so i will need to be creative!

Thanks,

Yup thats the loop, took a bit of planning!!

KiiYzOo · 4 Nov 2011 at 23:01

you should get a tri-pod and turn the flash off, then you won't get the cables looking like that

gropingmantis · 4 Nov 2011 at 23:10

A-mazing. I have been pondering doing a white-blue interior on the SG08 when/if it arrives...you have just sold me on it. Looks awesome!

Very tidy build buddy, you should be super proud.
