I see a hint of green PCB on this RAM... .

yeah i saw that too... i really don't understand why they keep putting these uggly green pcb on their RAM... really pretty coolers and "crappy" green pcb, too bad, 'coz except that detail, they look great on this mobo!!!

can't wait to see what's next

[masik]

Get your magic marker out to cover the little green on the pcb, lol

I've been looking at this case, to use with EVGA SR-2. It seams to fit, but I'm not sure. You guys seams to know this case inn and out, do you think a MB with Length: 13.6in - 345.4mm and Width: 15in - 381mm, would fit in this case?

I'm also wondering if it is possible to squeeze 2 x Corsair HX1000W into this case.

This build is amazing! I love the details you've attained too. It really shines.

Any chance you have a high resolution of this image?

I agree with you, mate, only some of the companies care about the looks at 100%

I'll give it a try, but not sure it will be good

MB tray has about 430mm of height and 330mm of width + 50mm of distance between tray and drive bays

=============================================
okay, time to finish PSU (finally LOL)
At the beginning I heatshrinked sleeving just near the PSU output but it turned out not good, at all. I remade it and now it's much better, let's watch step by step:

Slightly widened the hole, it was completely round at first. Bare metal edge can be fixed with Sharpie


Then put all sleeving inside and fixed with zip ties. Also snipped SATA cables and 4-pin motherboard power cable.


And now there is only 4-pin molex left naked, will do it later while prefinal assembly to cut it to exact length.

Thx, sounds good. I'll put this case on my list and look closer at it.

[Wezly]

Nice... Progress!

as if I have room to talk...

[Tigris STI]

Excellent work on the PSU, my friend But why did you use insulating tape instead of heatshrink on the ends of the wires you've cut ? I know, it can't be seen from the outside, but nevertheless...

I didn't have proper heatshrink, will redo it today ^^

So what's up with this build? Where you at, mate? I'm dying to see some updates.

oops, managed to miss your question
I am at university struggling through exams, hopefully they will finish by the end of this week and I'll please you with something new (end of this build for example ).

And yeah, I have decided to change the last "old" part in this build, not hard to guess what is it

[CptDreadFlint]

Ahoy Kirill!
G.Skill Heatsinks on your FTW is FTW. Matches perfectly!
That board is indeed in very good hands!

Your photos are always a thing to behold for me.

Ahoy my mate!
thanks for your kind words and priceless help - wouldn't be possible without you
=========================================

okay, finally have some free time to continue.
guess what? Hardware time! WC gear for this beauty is already cooooming

[Wezly]

Oooooooh, ahhhhh....

[aka_GK]

woot! new stuff!

[shazza]

Nice new stuff, aka_GK Good to see you progressing on the build (and here I was, thinking I might beat you to the finish line ).

haha that's a good motivation

[aka_GK]

ok. little bit of a progress

this thing was annoying me for the last 6 weeks, time to fix it


wow, fan doesn't have a rubber plug


ready!


done


did some measuring for future cuts


finally got some G3/8" to G1/4" adapters to put black barbs instead of chromed ones


and here is the little teaser

[illidan]

beautiful Kirill love the "tubing"

[phinix_mike]

Fantastic build. I have Antec PSU too and will have to do same mod as you did to yours - cut out 4pin cpu power cable and sata cable, which is soldered.
Nice project, keep it up my friend!

[KOCMOHABT]

Waiting for update..... Don't forget about us )))))

[aka_GK]

illidan, Mike, SPACEMAN () thanks mates

here you go, finally slapped myself to do something, tiny update
Resoldered pump from 4-pin to 3-pin, quite straightforward:




found that it's good to paint the connectors with permanent if wires are of the same color


and result! I had to adjust pump case a bit to let the pump fit with new wiring
btw, I sanded off the dents and repainted the pump case, now it is nice black and smooth


this is where it is going to be


and the magic snap caps worked great

[phinix_mike]

Sweet! Good job on those wires. Pump is looking great in the case! I like those caps, give nice clean effect.

[aka_GK]

Thanks Mike
===============

Did some more cabling and sleeving, now the lights - cut 4-pin molex, crimped 3-pin fan things to hook it up to the built-in rheobus


and sleeved (zip tie mount is temporary )






lights off, LEDs on


and sleeved door fans power as well, goes right up to the koolance control stuff


Then something more exciting:
I got round brass stand-offs


sanded the part, marked medians aaaand... got an issue with soldering


now I need to find a good brick or something to heat up the detail properly - solder just doesn't stick to it now, will continue soon
