You have inspired me to change my ATX board rig for a MicroATX to try something on a smaller case because I'm tired of big cases but I really "need" Sound Card and I want to use mi i7 920 so the only way it's to use MicroATX and maybe I will try on the future V354.

Keep on working, this is going to be one of the best SFF builds for sure.

Thanks man, extremely kind words!
Going small is a big pain, takes a lot of planning, and is totally worth it every time. Over and over again. By a million. And a bit.

Don't really know what you mean by option? Is it the reservoir? ;)

Some more pictures with a borrowed GPU.

Cables in the res? What do they go to?

I must go sleep now because in 3 hours I will be work but well I think that the sleeve in the reservoir it's only for taking fun on pictures. I remeber mcp and fhantastic doing something similar on their worklogs. But well maybe I'm wrong and it will go there with the liquid :O

For a while I thought you made holes to the reservoir on the side and that you were connecting the Ram block to the reservoir when saw the fifth picture because of the angle of the picture LOL

The Aquacomputer Grill looks better on this last pics, you really don't have fear to show the grill like on the Lian Li A05 Simplicity, I admire it, a lot of people are scared about showing accesories that don't come with the case.

And a very unique style that you give to your builds it's that you always keep the original color of the cases, if they are black ouside and aluminium inside you don't powder coat and use the stock look and for me that's a nice feature that define your work, I love that Laine's Style.

cheers

Thanks man, I always enjoy reading comments from you because they are always so well thought through.
And I love hearing other peoples responses when they have a quick look at the case.

It's also cool to see someone defining my building style, haven't thought about it like that.
I thank you for that!

About the rad grill "issue", take a look at this and picture it in your head.
If the grill still seems out of place, then I don't know what to do. :D

A lot has happened since last time, I tested my tubing route, got my PSU together and test fitted (unsure about the lengths still, a re-routing might solve this) and fixed my wifi adapter.

I must say that looks absolutley fantastic mate:cool:
I can't believe how much you have crammed in that case and managed to get the tubing on. :)
Amazing build. :yepp:

love it dude,
like the idea of the sleeving in the res ;)
can we get bigger size pictures?

I have somtehing to say:

¿Where are you planning to put the Himuro? :D

I can't believe that you are not using a Himuro on one of your builds :P

I think that it's another of your features when we talk about builds, but now it's not possible haha

Excellent and awesome build, nice ikea fejka's for photography, i have 4 of them at home :p:

To older exposures I put together to form one picture, this time hi-res.

Looks great - is this build completed? Or do you have more plans for it?

What are your temps on that? I'm going to attempt a LC SFF build soon but not on your kind of budget (well at least not with those parts anyways since the case itself is a couple bills)

thats brilliant

the accents look superb and make the radgrill a little more inkeeping.

the tubing routing is exactly what i imagined you would do but looks superb

wonderful execution laine :)

Finally managed to get my stainless parts laser cut.
One part of the frame did get messed up, but I'll try to save it. :)

Wow Laine, you never fail to impress. Beautiful work!

Mate, this build is nothing but perfection. ALOT of inspiration came from browsing this thread, which I'm now sub'd to!

Just wondering bud, could you tell us how you got your fluid looking like that, because it's seriously AMAZING!

Cheers bud!

awesome word dude lovin it!!

Finally got somewhere with the GPU.

I love it, damn I might even have to build one of these. Well done, excellent job.

I really love that Waterblock I have the Acetal/Nickel and it's just amazing.

Laine I have the same PSU, the Silverstone SFX 450W and I want to sleeve it with the MDPC-X sleeve and I'm so interested in knowing how much sleeve should I get to make a tricolor combination like you. I want to sleeve it with Grey- Blue- Purple but i don't want to get too much excess of sleeve of each one. Maybe it's difficult to tell me that since you may have it already from other builds, but well who knows ^^

You have inspired me to create an SFF WC build and I'm still in process ;D

Beautiful work man. A true genius you are !!!

To put an EK backplate on a GPU, do you need a waterblock? I want to put one on an MSi Hawk.

Just testing it as a "bench" until I can figure out a way to fix the window frames.

What coolant is that, beautiful colour purple :)

@dreamaxx i used this on my last rig http://www.primochill.com/primochill...uv-purple.html was about the same colour roughly, can add more to make it darker too..
