[LL V1000] Crystal Clear

Hi Laine ... my comment about renders vs reality wasn't directed at you, in particularly. Just having some fun. I really enjoy your renders - and your REAL PCs

Yeah I got that, after I replied.

Thanks Shaz!




Damn I hate that I had to drive 65 miles to get the package and it was missing a rad grill I already paid for.
These delays are killing me.

[Xion X2]

Thanks, Laine. I'm going through the TurboCAD tutorial now.. looks like it has a lot of the same features as what you're showing.

[Laine]

Just testing if the blocks would fit, they did.







Still looking for a 680i/780i "Mosfet part 1" water block.

[jpm804]

Blocks look great

[Laine]

Blocks look great

Agreed, thanks to Eddy@EK and Tom@Chilled.








Not the best of photos, but it's something.
The sleeved tubing is going to be in the lower compartment, I'm going for plain white in the upper.

I made some more holes in the tray, making mounting easier.
Going to redesign them later on.

That's all for now!

Looks really good. Are you going to be using any green to compliment part of the mobo?

No, I'm going to make some PCIe covers out of aluminium, or something similar.

Hey Laine.

I'm really digging the minimal, almost discreet look of those blocks on that board.

Enjoying the progress Mate, keep up the good work!

I'd be interested in this solution or any other suggestions anyone may have of replacing or "covering up" the PCI-E colored slots. I have red on my Flaming Blade which will clash with the color scheme I have going. Really don't want to replace the board just for PCI-E covers/slots.

It would have to be neat in appearance (not electrical tape or anything of the sort.)

Great work! I'm not a fan of plexy or clear stuff, but i can't wait to see how this turns out with water in.
Are you going to use any kind of dye /additive in the water?

Thanks mate, means a lot coming from you!

You could just make a rectangular box without the bottom piece and spray paint it. I'm going to try a few designs, I'll post the drawings on here if there's interest.

I was going to use Feser One UV/Blue but I'm leaning towards simple destilled water and modifying the EK 250 so that it can hold a killcoil instead of the "anti-cyclone".

Would look cool with solid tubing and some blue splashes of blue dye on the blocks though.


Here is some pics of the blocks in daylight, nothing special.
Still not sure about which tubing I'm going to use on the upper respectively lower compartment.




Don't worry about the mounts, I just want to know where I have my parts.

[Armitage]

Looking great And almost done aside from the mods you have left

That's one way looking at it, the other one would be that this project is barely started.

And some news;
After some discussion with my dad, we came to the conclusion that the GPU should be part of the liquid bling.
One more block added to the looooong list, haha!

[Mr_Mike]

looks really good keep it up

[Laine]

looks really good keep it up

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

I think I'll be going with the white tubing in the upper compartment, bet it'll go nice with 45's.




Sorry about the boring pics, I'll try to set up some kind of studio tonight.

[WinstonSthlm]

Awesome work Laine and hello from Sweden!

[XKaan]

Love the look so far! Keep up the good work!

[shazza]

Glad to see you'll have the GPU on water as well - nice progress so far, Laine!

[Moitrux]

Hi laine !

I love your conception of this case !

Where did you find theses case feets ?

[WinstonSthlm]

The thread resurrection package arrived.

Hi Laine,
Where did u find those, did you buy them in Sweden?
Are they Arctic Cooling RC?

[Laine]

Thanks all!

Yeah, it wouldn't be properly "balanced" without going with a GPU-FC.

Hi laine !

I love your conception of this case !

Where did you find theses case feets ?

I found 'em at Indomo.se, I think they are Silverstone replicas so you should be able to find similar ones right about anywhere.

Hi Laine,

Yes they are, I picked them up at Inet.se.
I removed the shield with acetone and then coated them in white.

The inspiration came from Tremeloes' LiLi A01, so I would like to add an additional thanks to him!

[Laine]

Small update, I scrapped the idea about a custom made HDD-rack for now, so I got some Scythe Himuro's that I will mount in a very similar way.
Of course vertically as it was originally planned.



Currently two of them are used in my beater Antec.

[WinstonSthlm]

Hey Laine, was waiting for updates to crystal clear, keep em comming
The mounts looks really nice!

[Caoder]

O.O how many projects are there in this thread @.@ good luck on making crystal clear awesome
