I'm sorry if you got to use up your bandwidth

Try out the motherboard tray ... looks so good!

















my first tube!

[kvadzio]

that's sweet! keep on goin'

Amazing work Joe!

Fantastic presentation - really nice!

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I have question to you JoeChoe

Could you tell me how much space is between gpu card and fittings in ek block ?



Because i worry that is no option to put there gpu card with this block:

Looks like might be needing a couple of 45s or a 90 there

This is going to be a great looking rig Joe.

m m m m m Im lovin it

Thanks! Charles. You are my idol. Love your work since I know about XS. Great and amazing all the time!

Hi Malik, I can't really take an accurate measurement right now ... away from my rig. They are pretty close ... but I'm sure that It's about ~1cm to the card [PCB] and ~3mm to the ek ram backplate.

Nice work and photo skill you've similar setup to mine

[MomijiTMO]

Ie no chance to have a 200 series card with the backside full cover block Malik.


Oh did I say how much I love this build? Heck, the pump symmetry is amazing.

Love that pump symmetry too .. thinking to add a res on top of it.

More tubing madness >>
GPU in SLI config is on water! It's look like a big machine!

I can only repeat myself: EXCEPTIONAL! ... it's just... why do I get the feeling that at any given moment if you so wanted, you could upload 200 beautiful pictures of the full build at once?
I think you live to torture us via supreme quality build induced suspense and give us all carpel tunnel due to clicking refresh or F5 40 times an hour..
j/k ...

I like how you connected the fill port joe, great idea

[Kibbler]

This workmanship is really excellent, great job

There are a few things that I think need to be addressed. For one I think you need to re-do your GPU arrangement.



1) That fill line will trap air, which in itself is not a problem but you need to constantly monitor your coolant level to make sure the 2nd GPU block doesn't basically become another res (i.e. trap more and more air).

2) Remove 1 of these d-plugs and plug it up. I don't think you intend to go parallel here.

3) I assume this is the inlet? The way it's setup now, your coolant will shoot up, thru the d-plug, past the other block, and into the fill line. It will splash and foam and mix with air and drag small bubbles into your loop. No good.

My suggestions for now:
Move the inlet to the other port. Remove the d-plug direct above that. Maybe put a valve on that fill line.

Additionally, having 90deg turns right after the pump will hurt your flow.

Looks like an exceptional build. The attention to detail is just amazing. Keep it up!

Haha! I wish I could do so ... sorting those pics like playing a maze games.

This is just temporary ... if I gonna to put a third card there , this fill port need to be remove tho ..

Thanks for the input bro!
1. You are right here, there is an air trap. I'm going to remove the fill port later on ...
2. I wanna to try out the parallel configuration here
3. I need to investigate the loop again. Thanks!

Let's move on!
Top case fan ...







Front panel mounting MOD

Using the 3.5" bay cover ... eeew! a lots of finger print!





Gluing process! Using Epoxy here ... should strong enough ... cheaper solution



Try out the faceplate





Replaced the original slot cover with arclic and 3.5" bay cover [ Cut to size ]





Lights MOD
Lovely Orange acrylic ... next the light please



LED installed ... it will be orange color!



Finished!

[MomijiTMO]

seeing bullydog post this image reminded me - did you just use contact cement to attach those bay arms? or is it a solder/weld?
