EK-DDC Dual TOP v2 White
some white, black and gray 18AWG and 26AWG (should give you a clear idea where am going with the sleeving color this time )

Another update.

Finishing up the front panel.


made 4 fitting


testing without the front tape


That what t look like from behind


I didn't want to drill the front panel for the fitting, so I got myself some JB weld. its should hold the powder coating fine.


marked the fitting.


I then used the dremel to make a little dent for the JB Weld to stick better.


Fitting done and sanded where the Weld is going to be for better contact.


Clean the whole thing with Acetone.


Finished (well, need to let it dry for 24hrs to work on it again)


Next, the original top backplate just doesn't cut it


That is better no ?


And to finish for tonight, that what I'll be working on net, A rez holder.


Thanks for reading.

Quick cell-phone pic... New parts arrived today so I can finish my watercooling loop. As you can see also remove somethings and do wires.

[Ced-G60]

Cool, thanks

Some Money shoot for a change.

Thermochill PA120.3



IandH Stealth Res 225


Ek Dual top V2


Some wire




And 2 Bitspower pass trough for the drain line.

Some news

Cut to size the rez holder


Will look about this when done, the rez will fix later on.


Made a back plate to hide the 24 pin hole as I won't be using it and the plexi rez holder will be over it anyways.


Used JB Weld again, will check back in 24hrs



Also filled up 4 holes I had made on the first build for one of the pump.


Thanks for watching

I see you have installed the ASUS cover for the MB ports, I've tried on three different builds to get the MB to line up with ports and couldn't get it.

I even ripped off the foam off the back....I couldn't get the MB screw slots to line up with that cover installed...I see other people are using them.

I tried to push on the MB while trying to attach the screws, but just couldn't get it

Although, I figured it was just more air flow and not a big deal, although it would be nice for other peoples computer

Strange, I had no trouble installing it. Required pushing a little the MB on the cover to screw it, but nothing fancy.

Sorry to resurrect this thread.
Got a quick question for op, Since you have cut 2 hdd bay slots at the bottom.
What is the measurements from floor to the last hdd?
Thanks.

Edit: Didn't know you used the MCR220 Radiator, same one I have.
Anything new with this build?

Hi,

I stopped this build for the moment as I have other plan's but am not giving up on it yet.

Regarding the space left, am not sure, but the MCR220 with 120 fan fitted just fine with a couple mm spare.
