My build log (56k warning)

[Wolfsburg18]

First it would be nice to come up with a name for my build and my buddies are calling it "The Beast". Yet most of them could not even install memory without me holding their hand. So most here saw the thread where my fuzion block melted down for whatever reason. A big thanks to Daniel at D-Tek Customs for working with me to take care of the problem.

A much better shot of what the block looks like, will be packed up this afternoon to mailed back to him so the coper can be recovered.

I will start off with my old cooling tower that worked ok but still was not what I wanted. My initial desire was for this case to hold all the water cooling equipment for 2 computers but now it is off to the recycle bin. The wing on top worked great the fans pushed air up.

Now onto the good stuff. Got my first package from Petra's on Wed. As always well packed and here is a quick shot of some of the goods. I heard about liquid electrical tap and it is great for covering up those few wires on the fan in the sleeving process. Heat shrink and liquid tap were from the local Home Depot.

Cleaning up the radiators and blocks. The radiators were flushed each three times with room temperature distilled water and 5 times each with boiling distilled water and again with room temperature distilled water. They were then allowed to air dry along with the blocks after cleaning from boiling distilled water.

One last quick shot of the mess that is my office and computer room.

Well finally got my case yesterday... A bit :banana::banana::banana::banana: YOU to Fedex as I am totally FedUp with you.

Unpacked my MM case and started the build last night. Some assembly required and after a minor alignment issue I got the frame built and started the process of sleeving my fans. This morning I finished sleeving up some fans and got the case power and reset wires sleeved.

Just wanted to see what everyone thought of my case layout at this point. Suggestions or tips from current owners would be great. Excuse the mess still need to do some sleeving work on the power supply and get the pumps done as well.

With the pumps in the current position I was going to put a T-line off the intake and have a fill port for a drain on the bottom and the top of the T go to my EK res then to another fill port on the top. But I can not figure out what orientation I want to mount the reservoirs or pumps (front to back or as pictured.
