Finally! A real Update!
still not got the powdercoated parts though
Been gathering some things ready for the weekend rebuild (I will have the powdercoated parts friday or saturday - so look out sunday for an update!)

first, whilst disassembling my system, I noticed this

and discovered why thorough cleaning of parts beforehand is essential
anyways, installed a few black boxes to mount rads on, and to hide the ugly PCB. (ignore white sticky pads, cleaned them off later on)


got my 2 reservoirs and temp sensor (hopefully ill get another of these)

murdermod sleeving

ATX24, ATX8, PCI-E 6+8 all individually sleeved (took me like 6 hours)

tubing test fitted:


oh noes! kinked! (sorted it after ofc)

I also got a bit more acrylic than I thought too...may have some surplus
ARGH! TOO MUCH!




thats all folks! tune in on sunday!

[retrogamer1990]

okay update time!
case came back from the powdercoaters!!!! yay!
pics:


installed the roof radiator with 0mm of clearance remaining between the mobo and rad!

cables sleeved (rear view)

made me a res holder from a spare bezel. if anyone has a spare TJ07 Bezel PLEEEASE can you send me it! I need another unmodded one!


res's go here:

pump(s) go here but vertically:

false floor & replacement 5.25" holder yet to be made. I had a go at making one but edges were so bad i put it down as practice. think i'm gonna blag a few cuts on the band saw at my school

[norim_13]

Great case! And great setup to!

[retrogamer1990]

Great case! And great setup to!

thanks! not on a par with half the ones on here though, I'm way off yet

Nice rebuild retrogamer. It looks like you may need to build another machine with all that left over acrylic. hehe

I'm interested to see how slick this turns out. Keep up the quality work.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

looks great man

(p.s. take the link to the FS section out of your sig, you'll get an infraction if an admin notices it because it is against the rules)

thanks! I hope I make it on to MDPC-X too!!! btw how much are those photos edited?
thanks for the heads up about the sig. gone now!

[theseeker]

I like the creative Res holder, very good idea!

[Oli4v]

Nice movement in build

but I don't like route of the tubing very much, for the GPU I would put the barbs at the down side, will look much more cleaner and the cpuloop, erm, I've got to think about that

but nice progress in general

[remingtonbox]

sorry if I totally missed this... but where did you get your tubing?

B-E-A-U-tiful build so far...

slight lighting adjustments, no cosmetic changes except for removing sensor dust spots on the background of the external pics. All internal pics are as shot with color balancing only.
