I actually got quite a bit done today - got nearly all of the sleeving finished, mounted the 220 rad in the front, mounted the pumps and res....just need the motherboard to arrive (should be tomorrow) and then I can start to route the tubing and get this sucker fired up!!!
Custom length sata cable
pump with restop - please note that the cables will be resleeved in red. (sorry for the crappy photo)
2nd pump with microres - note that the ide hdd is just in there for me to test space between it and the res
For the mounting of the 220 rad what I ended up doing was simply use some velcro to stick it to the side of the case - initially that seemed ok but I wasn't happy with the gap between the rad and the other side of the drive bays
So to fix that I took a small off-cut of tubing and jammed it inbetween the case and the rad - it also serves as a handy cable retention device for the fan cables running up to the controller. Here is a better shot of the tubing.
So currently everything is in place awaiting the delivery of the motherboard so over the next few days I will be able to put it together - do a leak test and then hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be ready to power up![]()
