You need patient, precision, 3mm sleev and connectors with long clamps. Pictures by courtesy of Darek vel Darmacz - thansk.

wow thats awesome. I don't post here often and I'm not sure if that heatshrinkless sleeving has been done before, but I just had to post and say GREAT idea! :clap:

Genius, that way the sleeve will never slip out or anything like that.

and a new level of awesome has been achieved. the bar is raised.

Lol +1 , might try it for my next build!

Very nice, high quality craftsmanship and materials! :clap:

It's white powder coated Aquacomputer GTX 580/570 block. The lid has been laser cut from Lian Li side panel, now it's black and brushed.

tadzik1231 nice looking block ;D

I think I could give a try to that way of sleeving. It looks difficult but way it deserves a try for sure.

Cheers mate so it's a custom block ...?

imho, that method of sleeving looks WAY easier to get right than the standard method that involves perfectly lining up all the heatshrinks. which makes me respect not only the person who figured this one out (or persons, if others have done it too), but those who can get the heatshrink method looking good as well. both are beautiful.

Thanks, how much extra did it cost??

Don't remmeber but one Lin Li side panel + powder coating job + tape + laser cut + black socked head screws = 100/150$.

After a series of unfortunate eavents I've put all the stuff together. Today only one night shoot, i'm gonna present more at the week-end.

This is a work of art.
:clap:
Every detail worked out to perfection, amazing.

Stunning!!

Looks sweet!

Not sure how I missed this worklog, but amazin work tadzik :up:

Excellent attention to details :bows:
What sleeves are those? MDPC? Doesn't seem to be dense enough... You can see black cables through.

I couldn't resist and had to complain (envy:D)!

One of the cleaner builds I've seen in a long time. Congrats!

You can't see anything black through because there is nothing black :) The wires are white - special order of AWG18 UL1007 from Hong Kong. The sleev is alsow special order - 3 mm white extra dense from Hong Kong too :ROTF:

Thanks to everybod for appreciate of my humble work.

:doh:

Great job on that case!!! Really good!!!!
I will like to see more of your work!

Awesome piece of work, love your persistent eye for detail. How did you paint the heatsinks on the Dominators? sprayed or dipped? :shrug:

Amazing. Do you know if it is possible to get any water additive that will make the water look like that ghost white?

Cause that liquid you are using, that is a complete liquid, not an additive right?

beautiful

Very nice work :)

truly amazing!! :D

just perfect, a beautiful work, congratulations!

I'm just speechless.

Perfection just have been redefined

Thanks everybody, the project hasn't been given up, I need a rest and I have to bolster my finances :) A few shoots of last stage, the case has been repainted to black glossy:

http://www.abload.de/img/p6170215-hdrifc6.jpg

I changed acrylic window for dimmed 4 mm glass, now it looks more noble :) Constant refilling of the loop caused white nano getting pale (or better say "transparent") so I ordered black one. Tubes now are Masterkler 10/16, they fit perfectly to colour schema.

http://www.abload.de/img/p6170216ph16.jpg

What will be changed in close future? I'going to install new rads and make the conection beetwen them and inside tubing more hidden :)

http://www.abload.de/img/p6170217qejn.jpg

See You nex time and thanks again.

Beautiful build!

Absolutely Stunning. Beautiful craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Just a gorgeous reminder to slow down, and enjoy my own personal projects. Cannot wait to see more of your work in the future! :)

amazing... i love how the tubing looks.

I love it! Perfect, a piece of art! :)

I find your work unparalleled and inspiratonal.

I bet you are sad now that it is completed. I get the impression you took the most pleasure in the process...not the result.

Hope that aluminum top on the GFX block does not cause Galvanic Corrosion...that would worry me.

Thanks!

Thanks everybody. Galvanic Corrosion shouldn't be a problem 'cos aluminium is anodized.

The show must go on - new stuff :p:

See You soon:D

Awsome :d!

WOW!!!!! That is quite amazing.

That is what I call a gorgeous case!


Thats something to be proud of

tadzik1231: anodized aluminium still causes corrosion issues if it touches water, and you still need to use coolants with anticorrosive inhibitors. Anodizing solves that only in PR materials that some vendors use to push their budget aluminium crap.
P.S.
There are some components where aluminium never touches water (eg. not in brass watertubes but only in fins of rad, or if used in external casing/shroud of some component), then it's not an issue. But if it's wet .. see above.

Probably before corrosion start to bite something inside I will changed all the stuff ;) and I never use pure water - usualy XP fluid.

For several months, both my AquagraFx
work with these caps ... no problems as before.
We'll see what next will be.
The fluid is Aquacomputer DP Ultra Clear.

Oh hello, Mr. Perfectionist!

Nothing more to say... :D

I see one imperfection :)
- Imho rad housing should be not rectangular, but rather something matching more rounded shape of case.

Stunning build, I absolutely love it.

However, even though I'd be happy as :banana::banana::banana::banana: with that system sitting on my desk, the fans on the top radiator would annoy me with the Enermax logo being upside down.

Do I have OCD ? I think so... ;)
