Corvus - Black/White Watercooled Prodigy

Hi there.

Long time TTL sub/lurker here, decided to finally post something. I'm not much of a forum poster, I tend to just sneak around and read stuff, but I'll try and get some posts in here and there.

This is my rig, figured it would do nicely as one of my first posts. It's named Corvus, the raven's latin/scientific name. I have a lot of experience with putting together computers, but this is my first fully watercooled machine. It's not finished yet (I doubt it will ever be), but this is how it looks as of now.
I just recently got the GTX 780 (right before the prices dropped like crazy ), I had a 7950 in there before.

I've painted the front bezel, thumbscrews and the Noiseblocker fans matte white and cut holes in the front for a vandal switch and temperature display. Might do some more custom work in the future. The cables are pre-sleeved extensions (you do not want to see the PSU compartment ). Thinking about doing custom sleeved cables some time, but it's a lot of work, and I'm a lazy chap.

Thank you!

I do agree. I don't have the camera at the moment though, I can take some more/better pics next week.

EDIT: Looks like I did have a couple more pictures. Will add.

Looks v nice at first glance. Eagerly awaiting more pics

Thanks

I edited the post and added some more pictures, but they're not there after approval..

You sure you edited it? There's no signed of it ever being edited my end? and I've not seen it for re-approval.

Try putting them in again!

There we go. Something is wrong with the advanced editor though, sent you a PM.

I'll take some more pictures next week if you'd like.

looks awesome, good job!
+1 for the cat

that's a lot of patience to do that in a small box but it looks really nice very nice job

Thanks

The main annoyance with building in a smaller box like this is the cable management. There's spaghetti packed together tight in the PSU compartment atm, which is why I'm considering doing custom cables and sleeving. The problem is the amount of work it takes to get everything looking nice, and I don't want to start a project like that and then do a crappy job or end up not finishing it..
