Since I have a 240 and 360 Feser Rad already, I can save some money there but for my rig its still gonna cost me about $700-800 :D
Nice add-on to your project...I also like the white EK pump top...Quote:

Thanx
I justed check the fitting of my 120.3 rad and it goes find in the top of the case (with the included bracket). but i can only put the inlet/outlet on the front side (or make some modification to the mounting bracket to make them face the rear)
(the case was design for 120.3 rad)
Very good news, then....thank you very much!
Keep up good work with your project, i've subscribed to enjoy the rest of your work here...

Voila, am out of white sleeve for now (order did not arrive yet... hope i'll get it tomorrow.
Now am going to figure out how to put the 220 rad without cutting anything and place the 2 pump/rez combo.
Enjoy
ps: wish i still had my 40D with my L lenses :shakes: i miss that thing right now...
No worries... looking forward to an update.
I snipped my pump sensor cable. I see you will be using yours :) Looks good
Yes i don't like cutting too much stuff :D
I received my sleeving this morning ! Am going to be able to start sleeving those fan's and figure out how those rad/rez are gonna fit it.
Then i'll attack the PSU.... but am already making nightmare about putting white tape all over + sleeves. This is going to take forever
Another french's ATCS840 mod :D
Great job for the moment, keep going !
Et un jardin à Paris, la classe ! :p:
I did the same. Kinda wish I did more tape on my 24 pin though. It was my first sleeving job so it was a learn experience. Took me over 13 hours total I would say. But I made a lot of mistakes and didn't get it down until about 4 hours in lol. Good luck. Wear some gloves or something. You should see the calluses on my thumbs.Quote:

Anyways, here are the 6 fan done. (for a second, i wanted to paint the center metal part in black (where it says Enermax). What do you think ?
Those fan already have white sleeve, but all over and you could see through it, so dismantling time :p

That all for tonight, this take forever lol
I also ordered most the gear now. Big news soon :D
i LOVE those fans!! With the white sleeving, it looks even more perfect!
I bet its gonna turn out AWESOME with this black n white theme you've got going :)
nice sleeved, keep it ups
Those fans look really good, and with the white sleeve it's wow :)
Thanks for the feedback :)
So i need some help deciding on some waterblock !
What do you think of the Koolance full waterblock for the RIIE ? Would it look better over the EK acetel one ?
Am not sure what to choice... I was going to get for the GTX the EK nickel with plexi top. It would look better with the nickel chrome koolance RIIE kit i guess.

Enermax fans look sleek :)
So I tried to paint the metal side of the fan in black and I think it look much better. I also turn the writing the other way around so you can read it right on the top of the case.
What do you think ?

the black makes it look really cool man! i would spray em all black...
the black adds a nice contrast there inbetween.
I also like the contrast of the finish stuff, so i painted them all.
If you look closely you can see 3 of them have the "enermax" writing the other way around. You sill see why once the rad is in :)

Fan on the rad, i used small black screw to secure them, I think it look much better like this.

Rad installed, I also changed all the standard silver screw, for black version (missing 4 on the photos, need to go buy more)

Here we have it, that why i turn them around, so the text was the right way up :)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/...cd225440_o.jpg
Now the for the second rad, am not sure how i should install it ?
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/...45b1babe_o.jpg
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/...49dc9987_o.jpg
or some other way ? any input ? :)
I would install it like in first option because the air won't be accumulating in the rad like in second option.
