Looks good Kibbler, nice innovation
Your pump seems to have a boner.
Looks good though ;)
Thanks Xion and Graeme for your comments, much appreciated :)

Anyway phallic resemblance aside I am working on how to route the leads to come out the side of the pump body, without anything interfering with the rad core.
p.s. I love that the poll is still going, gloss red is leading by a big margin if that means anything anymore :D
Quick updates, now with more bullets
-I replaced the DDC3.2 and with a new DDC3.25. I've also corrected the "erectile" appearance, the wires come out the back now.
-Pulled the TMS200 out of the Pinnacle build but in the end decided not to use it...
-I fired off a PM to Shoggy to exchange cash for an Aquaero and various related accoutrements, waiting for his reply to start the process.
-If I have enough time tonight I should be able to grab a few photos of the rad installation.
Excellent, I will be looking forward to that.
Curious why you decided not to use the TMS-200 this time around?
Kibbs, the way you mounted the pump and res on that rad is awesome, I wish I could think if these mad-ingenious things like you.

Gonna stop typing now, my fingers are almost raw and hurt from tightening compression fittings while I was redoing my loop
Thanks man. :) Sit tight for about...10 minutes...:DQuote:

On the other hand I have a great place in mind for the Aquaero. Can't wait!
Thanks ohms! :) I went through an RMA with Koolance as well but it's been working like a champ ever since. Halfway around the world and back in a week and a half. :up:Quote:

Okay anyway...let's see the RED!
Btw I am tired as a monkey. I wish I had four hands, it was super difficult to align and install this whole thing with just the standard two. Not gonna lie, there were casualties...minor scuffs here and there but they are thankfully out of sight.
OMG it fits!! :D Believe it or not that was one of my biggest worries.

The entire cooling "module" tucks away neatly in the drive bays. I also turned it around and re-routed the pump cable to look less like a horny teenager's pants.

DDC 3.25. Gonna remove this label later.

Hmm...the focus is off but you can just make out the UN Designs rad brackets holding everything up.

Here's the drain line coming from the rad (1/4ID-3/8OD Tygon). It will be cut shorter later, I used an extra long piece just in case because it would be a huge PITA to reach the fitting after everything's installed.

Don't be fooled it's plain-jane shining silver, not pink. It's reflecting the redness all around, which is kind of a neat effect actually...

Thanks for looking!
This build is amazing!
Its also cool to see the way you have the res and pump mounted to the rad. I'm trying something similar, so an example is nice. Keep it up!
-TadZilla
gaaah, i can't get enough of those photos, they're beautiful! The white and red is stunning :yepp:
Gorgeous, Kibbs!
Glad to see the go-go gadget module not only fits, but the way you mounted it into your drive cage makes it look like it almost "belongs" in there. The connector looks much better facing towards the fins.
Is the sticker on the pump gonna stay put? :D
Wow.......
You already know how amazing it looks so there isn't much else to say.
Really amazing .. how is your watercooling system scheme going to be ?
Now, there's some ideas worth stealing ;) Beautiful, Kibbler.
Thanks, Ohms and Kibbler, for the feedback on the TMS-200. I was debating on using it or the aquaero I had in my MtnMods build - guess I'll stick with the TMS-200.
Thanks TZ! I saw in your log what you're doing with the iandh res, it's good stuff. If you don't mind there are a couple comments I wanted to make so I'm gonna head over thatta way...Quote:

oh well live and learn.
Capt, always appreciate your input. :up: That sticker will go, no worries there.Quote:

Nonetheless your comments are always appreciated, thanks Wezly.Quote:

Have established contact with the Shoggymeister. Various info was passed around and legal tender was exchanged. :D
There's a package I need to pick up from the post office. Let's just say it's white and goes on the CPU block. :)
By scheme i meant the conections of the watercooling system like first pump then radiator etç.. because yours looks diferrent , the color scheme i already know because i got eyes to see:):rofl:
My misunderstanding. :rofl:Quote:

That's the plan, but it may change depending on what mobo/CPU/GPU combo meal I end up getting.
The pics of the cooling "module" in the case are amazing Kibbler.
The black and white of the pump, res, radiator and the tubing just go so well with the red of the case.
Simply awesome mate. :cool:
hey... did u brain wave me or something, you r useing my colour scheme and everything i have... just i cant afford the pump you have... but what i would like to know is.. how have you mounted that rez?
Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate your comments! :)Quote:

...Into this (turns out it's tough to capture engravings in white acetal).
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4005/...94e1621c_b.jpg
Here overall lighting is worse but you can make out the engraving. Interestingly, EK went with a different font for the "Supreme HF" (compare with the 1st photo). Personally I like it better than the original italic script.
I could trace the engraved lines with some kinda enamel pen maybe...something to look into.

Tomorrow, fans!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Agreed. The font they used on the EK-Supreme Classified is the best. Pretty much looks like what you have there.Quote:
