[Cubensia]

Hello Guys

First of i would like to apologize regarding my broken english.
You will fin bellow my little story

I have started the wc in december 2007 with this little "mod" base on a Coolermaster Praetorian.

I was not very "happy" with this so i bought to a friend a new case a Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570, after few hours of work most of the job was done

Nice clean build mate well done :)

[yankee]

Nice job, but it seems like you could have used less tubing.

Otherwise, it looks great!

Bon Travail!

Salut, comme' ca va?

Nice to see another water cooled Aurora on the forums.

I like the floor mounted rad, how'd you get around the case feet that would normally get in the way?

[Mongo129]

Nice case mate, i have the 570s (s for to damn short haha)

How did u reverse the drives in the bays as i could not get them to fit the other way they stuck out too far with the cables in the drives if u know what i mean,

if you could post some shots of the other side of the drives that would be awsome.

Thanks
Jason

@aspire.comptech : About the bottom rad, u'r right. he 's very close to the feet, so close that i have to cut a bit in and create a new fix with some "velcro"
My mistake was to put the 1/4 holes just under the GPU, the best thing to my mind will be to reverse it, in order that the holes goes directely under the tank ..but the case is cut now .. too bad

@Mongo129 : I have created an self made suspension system for the disks

And i manage the psu wires on the back, it's close to the back pannel.

I will post some pics this evening

[Mongo129]

@Cubensia
Thanks for the pics gives me some ideas, but i dont think the suspension will work for me as i hav 6 drives in it, i saw in one of the pics u were using the orignal rails but the drives were backwards. How did u do that or was it not ver good

Cheers
Jason

@Mongo129 : I just reverse my hdd , it it quiet easy to do , the only thing is that the hdd do not fit entire in the cage but there is no real problem. Give u a try

[Omastar]

Good stuff. I have the 3D Aurora 570, too, and it's a great case.

Hi Cubensia

I am planning on building a super leet machine and i like very much the (tank) reservoir you are using.
In the 3rd picture there is a blue cylinder that is lit up. i cant find anything in your Watercooling list that shows me this type of tank. Is it an EK-Multioption Tank?
