Thanks for the comments Guys.

Not that I'm aware of but I've only inquired about side panels. The side panels are all slightly unique - sometimes a set will fit more than one case, sometimes not. Something to do with the case "U" design i reckon.

But I'm still waiting for a lot of parts, and I gotta find some nice paint!! I don't wanna have it powdercoated, as I'll have to paint some plastic parts, too, and I'm afraid of not getting the same "color"...

Should I use my airbrush-pistol for painting?? I'm a bit unsure, haven't worked with that thing for ages...
Good stuff Bro, looking forward to your work log.

I don't know what to say about airbrushing since I don't do it. I'm a huge fan of powder coating as you can imagine. If you paint the plastic parts 1st you can then take them to a powder coater for reference and they can most likely match them pretty closely.

I was wondering whether the front USB header shown here:

Actually, there seems to be a few Murderbox admirers here in France... oh, and of MDPC too
I'd first like to say that France is at the top of my list for places I plan to visit before I kick the bucket.

As Dragon says, that unit fits no problem.

The inlet and outlet of the Fusion are backwards. If i'm not mistaken, the loop order is res > pump > rad > CPU > GPU > GPU > res ?

If that's the case then your pumping liquid into the outlet of the CPU block, which shouldn't be encouraged. The other option is that the loop goes GPU > GPU > CPU > pump > rad > res > GPU ..., but i don't think you'd make the mistake of trying to pump through the res backwards!?

If i'm missing something don't hesitate to ease my mind!

Here's a relevant pic:
I'm still around.

The loop is: pump > cpu > gpu1 > gpu2 > res > rad1 > rad2 > pump

The reason I chose to reverse the in/outs of the Fuzion was to keep the hoses from crossing each other as they entered/exited the block. As we all know, the barbs on the Fuzion are so freakin' close together, its a challenge to get clamps of any kind on. Now try to imagine sleeving and heat shrink as well... When I attempted to go into the "in" fitting, the hoses were practically on top of each other - especially when then going up to the 1st gpu. Because of the "U" elbows I needed coming off the top gpu, I wanted to come off the right barb which meant going into the right barb of the 1st gpu. The problem is that the Fuzion "in" barb is in the center of the block while the "out" is off to the side and I couldn't get the thing to work without having the two hoses cross each other - which looked crappy. I tried a number of variations and the solution I was happy with was what you see now. It's my understanding that the major reason for going in through the "in" barb is related to air and bleeding. This wasn't a problem at all. This build was actually one of the easier to bleed of all the machines I've built.

I hope that answers your question Bro. I think I've probably done a horrible job of explaining myself but I'm tired and my brain has gone lumpy.
