These are 3/8 ID and 5/8 OD fittings from Enzotech as used in the whole build

Thank you, and sorry for the late reply

I can't remember the brand i used (threw the boxes away) but they are similar to these here and are widely available.

Thank you!

The side panel is *finally* going for the final mod (tinted acrylic window) next monday, so in about a week or maybe less i'll have some photos to show of the final product. Meanwhile i ditched the two GTX280's and got for an extra €20 plus the money from selling the 280's a GTX295 Co-op. The overclocked card performs about the same as the two 280's even though it's only 448-bit and 896MB per GPU but heats way less and doesn't draw as much power.

This is how it turned out, i'm using the second PCI-E slot for even better cooling:

Haven't been at home during the day, those pictures are crying for proper lighting

Let's hope the final ones are better

Armitage · 08-23-2009, 12:56 PM

Looking good. Now all you need is a block for the GPU

OrtoN · 08-23-2009, 02:47 PM

Great job

Hehe, thank you but that's not gonna happen. Card's cool and GT300/RV870 are around the corner

Well, here she is at long last, the side window has arrived. Unfortunately a darker acrylic wasn't available, so a transparent version was used. Here are the final pictures:

Case how it looked when the side panel went for modification:

I installed a black acrylic panel made by the same person who made the side panel window (thanks Patuga @ www.coldzero.pt) so it covers the drive cage side:

The long awaited side window:

Internal thermometer can now be seen clearly, i'm sorry about the pictures quality, it looks WAY better live:

Something else was added, AlphaCool LCD which unfortunately was returned to RMA with two dead vertical lines after 4 days of use:

Case exterior:

And an LCD picture while turned on:

And presto, all done, see ya next build

illidan · 09-22-2009, 10:05 AM

awesome display

and the rig looks great, but don't like shape of that case

hausner · 09-22-2009, 01:15 PM

nice and clean watercooling loop, love white tubing!

sniperbob · 09-22-2009, 01:47 PM

Really clean looking setup you have there! Can i request a nice night shot to show off all the insane lighting going on inside the case? PLEASE??!?!

Zygoat · 09-22-2009, 01:53 PM

Would you be able to tell me when there are two HDDs installed in that little contraption, what are the dimensions of space the HDDs are now taking up? I just want to know how tall it is, so I can work out if I can use those nexus mounts for my HDDs. I have limited space so I need to pack the HDDs in as tightly as possible.

jpm804 · 09-22-2009, 10:12 PM

Good Work.. turned out very clean, love the window and the drive bay panel.

RCG_Bex · 09-23-2009, 06:40 AM

Absolutely gorgeous! Well done and kudos to you sir!

Thank you. I am a mess taking night shots, but i will try to get some and post them here ASAP

shazza · 10-11-2009, 11:23 AM

Such a great outcome! I'd love to see some shots with the window on, but also showing the fans spinning. This is definitely a showcase setup

NaMcO · 10-11-2009, 11:36 AM

Thanks shazza, your comments are highly appreciated

As promised, me and my IXUS 980is tried our best and here are a few night shots. I will take one day shot with the fans spinning tomorrow

I think there's a similar one above:

lester01 · 10-11-2009, 04:50 PM

Neox69 · 10-11-2009, 09:35 PM

Hello, just one. It's hidden on top, just above the acrylic window

Yeah, it's interesting, allows you to monitor what's going on with your CPU and GPU while gaming, i already found some interesting facts about some applications because of it
