XFX 630i mATX Motherboard because it really fits the colour scheme, while being a good all round board!

I fully de-sleeved the PSU, and will go and buy a hole load of solder, a soldering iron and one of those 'third hand things' to help me get my sleeve on.
My plan for this summer is to do all of the sleeving so its 100% perfect and the exact right length aswell as collecting all of the hardware, and starting the customisation on the motherboard and the DVD and HDD drives.
:D
work looks even better here, edit: just saw it on the other forum :p
looks good man,
What CPU Block are you gonna be using with your compression barbs?
:)
My photography really doesn't do this justice. I'll take some more photos tonight when I'm home with my tripod etc.
I hope you like it :D

And fully done.
I still need to cement it to fully seal the res, and then tap to G1/4" threads.
For the CPU block, thinking Acrylic EK Supreme, or whatever takes my fancy at the time.
looks fantastic! subscribed!
Nice Res :)
cool.
Thanks :D
A few photos..:

I took my old 10W DDC-1 apart today, It should be fine if I'm just cooling the CPU but if I cool the GPU and the NB I'll need a DDC3.2 for the extra 'push'

Thanks :D
Not much to report bar COD:4 multiplayer.
I've ordered two of these ABS General puropse boxes measureing 85x56x21 and 150x80x46.
The smaller one will go at the back between the PSU and the radiator and hold the fan wiring, LED wiring and the light switching. The larger box will hold the box, with a 40mm fan in the side, aswell as a flow rate sensor etc. and moniter water cooling.
Should be here with 48Hrs so then work can continue.
I'm still waiting for my 'little' bits to arrive, so this is a slight progress report.

Here is what the case 'sort' of looks like at the moment. I really need to decided on my mobo soonish though as I need to work out the back I/O panel holes etc.
Otherwise, its colour scheme time. What do you prefer?
1. Just UV with Green Tubing and Coolant

2. UV with Blue LEDs and Green Tubing and coolant

3. UV with Green LED's, green tubing and coolant.

Thanks. :p
Out of those I like the last one the best. Go green :)
My boxes arrived, and the DDC fits fine, but I need to give it a little diet to save some space.

And my own personal criptonite.

You have NO idea how hungry that just made me! >.< To top it off I'm not currently in the UK so I can't even drop down to M&S and grab some :p:Quote:

The ABS boxes fit in exactly as I wanted them too, the read one, **snugly** between the Fans and the PSU, and infront of the PSU and the case. I've decided that having the DDC out on the bottom of the case would be a better idea. The larger ABS box will be used to hold an Aqua Computer Aquero and various other bits, prehaps a 2.5" HDD for me to put Vista on.
Anywho:

Its going to be tight with the tubing, so I'll be using a series of 90* angled Danger Den or Bits-Power G1/4" acrylic 'thingies' to solve the problems.

And with a normal ATX Motherboard in. I need to buy an mATX one for the case, and then make the appropriate with holes in the back and the mobo plate.

As requested by the thread starter, this thread has been moved to the Computer Cases section.
Thank you very much :up:Quote:
