Full system specs (as of right now, may change)
Alright small update for the first one, but there's plenty more to come.
I took out the factory mesh on the top panel and made a window for it.
Next up I started getting some hardware mounted so I could figure out the routing for my tubing. The board shown here is just for mock-up.
Next I drilled mounting holes for the pump mount and mounted the pump.
Then I drilled holes for the reservoir mount. Being that this case is short and fat rather than the typical tall and skinny I decided to mount the res to the back panel.
Here's a shot with the board and GPU's I'll be using. I'll be using my current XFX 6870's paired with their EK blocks. The board shown here I'll be using along with an i7-3770k and the EK block shown here. I still need to strip the block mounting bracket from the last mod and repaint it black for this one. I also plan to remove the MB heatskink setup and paint the blue trim pieces green to match the rest of the mod.
And last up a shot of the green/black paracord I'll be using to sleeve all the cables for the mod.
I've got some Mayhem's pastel mint green coolant mixed up and waiting for the build as well. I think the whole black and green theme will look killer in this.
I'm also debating on adding another 120mm rad in the floor in the 5.25" drive bays for some extra cooling, but we'll see.
- i7-3770k with EK HF Supreme
- Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD5 (possibly with EK full cover block - not sure yet)
- 2x XFX 6870 with EK FC 6870 blocks
- 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
- 120GB HyperX 3k SSD (OS)
- 1TB HDD (maybe larger) (Storage)
- Enermax Platimax 1200W PSU (cables shortened and sleeved with paracord)
- Lepa LP70D12R fans
- Bitspower Multi-Z 250 acrylic res
- Bitspower fittings and flow meter (building custom system monitoring system)
- Laing DDC 18W pump w/Bitspower acrylic top
- Mayhem's Pastel Mint green coolant w/blue dye (to darken it a tad) and UV dye added
- 2x XSPC RS120 and 1x XSPC RS240 radiators
- Fan controller - still TBD. I may use the Sentry 2 I already have or go with something different
- "Monster" green/black paracord
- 3 windows - top and both sides
- TONS of laser-cut and laser-etched goodies from White Light Laser - fan grilles, res accent parts, GPU backplates, sponsors' names etched into side panel windows
