Hi All,
I would like to share my build with you guys
Far from finished, not in a hurry, so I'll take my time.
It's a watercooled system in a Red Harbinger Cross Desk.
Hardware: UNKNOWN yet
I want to finish my watercooling setup first, then I'll look for nice pieces of hardware
Any recommendations for hardware I appreciate!
Cooling: Watercooling, will use Bitspower Gold/Brass fittings and Mayhems UV White coolant.
With Primochill clear tubing and Arcylic tubing mixed.

A little bit of black sleeving for pump wires:
I'll guess I'm going to place the pumps like this:

I got my reservoirs from Bitspower, special made for my build with brass top and bottom!
They will be placed in this way:
I got my watercooling setup almost complete and I'll start building soon

Sticked a Neoprene Gasket on to the radiator:
Another inside the Cross Desk:
The 35mm screws were JUST long enough to get the radiator mounted, needed to use a lot of force :S
When drilling holes in the bottomplate for the pump mounting, I used the wrong drill (for wood) and it broke, damaging and scratching the surface :'(
So I replaced the pumps, the pumps are now placed over the scratches, so you don't see my clumsiness.

This will be my power supply: 1200W Super Flower Leadex 80Plus Platinum - White
100% modular
And the 2x EK-CoolStream PE 480 Radiatoren mounted.

When you use screw fittings, your skin will tear apart.
I can advise anyone to use these gloves you can buy at your local home depot:
Saves a lot of finger skin
I've put the tubing on the pumps and radiator on the right today
Also put some UV LEDs under the pump tops:

An update of what is done lately
I want te replace the stock grey acryl panels with red ones.
And here they are:
I had this idea in my head, painted it with my Paint Skills:
Then l3p worked it out with his mod skills:
It was really a troublesome job which l3p rather won't do it again :P
The panel is 1.6mm thick, so it requires a lot of patience and strength to saw out the logo's.
A lot of respect towards l3p for still finishing the job!!!
I had to saw out a piece in the "backpanel", otherwise the RH logo will not glow.
Drawed the outlines:
And the piece is out:
It's perfect like this:
Backpanels screwed back on:
And finished!!!
