That looks great. I assume you screw it down to the bottom of the case. What are the advantages of Perspex over acrylic?Originally Posted by phcjpp

Gotcha. Didn't know it went by another name =). I'm amazed at your handiwork and hope you don't mind if I use some of your mods as an inspiration for my "show" rig.

Hi All,
Few small bits achieved tonight.
Firstly put the swiftech hardmounts on the north and south bridge - thanks swiftech.
Other than that it was mostly about putting connectors on wires and adding a few top fans. So some pictures.
Here is the lid from underneath. 4 fans attached and wired in.
Single fan with tail
MCubed sensors sleeved and heatshrinked and an emergency cut off cable I built.
Finally a zoomed in image of the fan headers I have been adding. Got the bits from rapid electronics.
Thats it for now.
Chris

OOOoooohh pretty mount
ranker acrylic goes by a zillion different names :P note that there's also polycarbonate, which is stronger than acrylic.

how did you make those temp sensors i realy wanna do that
Here is a link on temp sensors - its somewhere in that thread
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=147877
Off on hols for 4 days so don't expect much progress but hopefully can get it polished off when I get back.
Chris
Small update for the evening.
Created a box that attaches directly onto the enermax PSU to attach all the lights etc to.
Also built a couple of UV leds to mount into the reservoirs.
Chris
Great work, Chris.
With so much attention to your wiring, you oughta get rid of the white fan plugs. I finally got around to buying some connectX coloured fan plugs for my build and wish I'd got them ages ago.
All my sleeving is black and the black plugs just finish them off properly.

Hi Guys,
Well the project moves ever closer to completion.
Here we see the pumps going in and being mounted.
Bit more tubing going in
Water temp sensors now inline
Resistor bank to lower voltage of pump PSU slightly
Thats about it - getting closer and closer.
Chris
Couple of questions:
1) How do you glue your acrylic/perspex pieces together
2) What did you use to mount your aux PSU (for your Iwakis) to the original motherboard support tray?
Looks great and I can't wait to see the finished result.

Plastics glued with super glue! I am sure there are better things out there but works for me.
Used the super strong velcro you can buy at B&Q to mount the PSU. Its incredibly strong and comes in rolls. Something like holds 50kg per 2inch square piece or something like that. I used it to mount a giant bathroom mirror to the wall as nothing else would hold it up. I also use it to attach the speakers to the side of my lcd monitors (see pic a few posts back).

I was using the same method but the PSU sags a bit. I was wondering if there was an alternative method.

You definitely got the super strength ? Mine is fine. I did a strip the full length of the PSU.
Chris
cover the whole top with velcro...
Couple more images...

all mounted on acrylic with the power attached.
Stealths going in as we speak.

one thing to say

Ugh, you're making me reconsider my mounting locations for my BigNG, 2 miniNG's and Sensorbus combo. Where would you mount it in the Horizon? I can't think of anywhere else to put that plate, other than possibly on top of one of your 5.25" bays.Couple more images...

Its gonna rest on top of the (moved) motherboard support. Again most likely velcro to hold it on.
Chris
wow you are the king of awesome customized wiring!!
This some super strength velcro from the local hardware store could hold up a 3x120 rad full of water?
For the record I am not sick, nor am I a gamer, nor am I a sick gamer. That name just sounds really cool to me but dont put me under that stereotype at all.
nevermind... addicted to COD4 and Free Online Games baby!
