New Madness!

[emoners]

the blocks look awesome.

Any pics of you at the birthday party?

+1 :d

These blocks look better than on the pics on Aqua's site! Makes me regret not getting these!
Too bad full nickel Aqua's blocks aren't available for every single card.

Thanks, I like them too.

I have to ask...
This is the first time I see a loop where the pump goes before the res. So as far as I undrstand you will be pushing water to the res and then It will go out of it to the block that comes next to it, isn't it?
If am I right, how that works?

Thanks!

[zalbard]

Which case are you planning to get? Could try 800D or something made by Lian-Li.

I do things a bit differently than most people. I usually go straight from the pump to the blocks, to the Res and then to the Rad. I have found that H20 temps equalize so the loop order does not really matter. I do know that the pump or pumps should be at the lowest mounting position available.
Send a PM if you want more information.

Well I have to say good choice on going with the CaseLabs, I've heard nothing but good things on them.

Thanks! I have been unable to find anything negative on any forum regarding their cases. Not to mention that their CS is outstanding!

[barfastic]

ooooh! cant wait!!!!

[ximius]

Looking forward to seeing the white one. Can you try to take some shots for the worklog of assembling the case, and the accessories? The cases look very nice but cant find too many "putting together" pics...

I will, just remember that I tend to go overboard!

Now I would appreciate your opinion regarding some colors. My theme is red, white and black and I will be changing the hex head colors on the Aquagrafix cards.
The way it comes....



All white.....



All black....



All red.....



And a couple of combos..............





I am leaning towards black screws and possibly powdercoating the top covers in white.
Any thoughts?

[OC Maximus]

Black screws and leave the natural metal finish. It looks spectacular!

Thanks for the input! Black is much easier too.

[Alexandr0s]

I agree, black definitely looks best !

Thank you Alexandros! We need a females input to be sure....Shazza?

I kinda like the red gumdrops myself ...

Nah - I agree - go with black. Definitely don't mix them. Reds are very difficult to work with, and the more sources of red you have, the more difficult it is to match (especially when taking photographs).

Spoken like a true artist, with palette in hand! Red's are difficult, I will drink some blue..............

Hmmm...

A white Aquaero...x 3?



By now you know my new case....



You know the components, unless I change my mind, which could happen?

WC Update, 3 loops and counting;

Loop 1: 2 D5's EK top - Ram and CPU - Feser 120.4
Loop 2: 2 D5's EK top - GPU's and MB - Feser 120.4
Loop 3: 1 EK DCP 4 - with integrated Res, still in question, 3 A5's and the Aquadrive - 140.1 or q 240?

I had the EK Ram block stripped and re-plated with nickel and chrome..


The Madness will continue tomorrow!

[disruptfam]

[Beriphent]

Agree with that! The case is a huge white building and the window is a view to the blue ocean...!
