Dont worry sir i have a plan, i think you will be pleasantly surprised.

 

[SPS]

Great start on the log, hope it turns out nicely.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Looks interesting. Well more specifically the 3 120mm rads

 

[sheroo]

Coming together nicely. Will watching this with interest.

 

[alpenwasser]

Watercooling? Unusual loop layout? Linux?

Yes, you have my attention. :lol:

I like the 120 rads in the front rotated sideways, looks like there wouldn't be room for a 240
without losing one of the 5.25"s?

 

[PaddieMayne]

Thats correct 240 would of lost me the top 5.25", anyway the main reason i used 3 x 120 rads is cos i already had them.

Yes i use Linux just for testing hardware and for generally messing around with Linux..

Anyway huge update is imminent as ive done loads of work on it.

 

[PaddieMayne]

OK huge update as ive done loads of work on it in the last 24 hours.

First things first is the side panel before and after, i love the allen key bolt heads look....

Next up is the mobo preperation and the CPU/W/C Block install....

Next is the mounting of the 240gb SSD, used a paper template too mark and drill the holes, i used mobo standoffs for underneath the SSD to give me a gap too the side to enable easy cable connections.

 

[PaddieMayne]

OK, now i have what ive done to the floor of the PC to hide all those ugly holes, basically i took a piece of acrylic cut it too size and then transferred a WWII desert British 8th Army battle scene painting on to it. This was a large sticker i had made via a company on the internet, im quite liking the result. Also as you can see mobo is now in.

OK, now i start to do the tubing, again im quite please with the results as ive managed to get quite a clean look using parts i already had in my garage.

 

[PaddieMayne]

Some more pictures of leak testing, i had an issue with a seepage on one of the connectors, so i had to drain and disconnect the offender, upon inspection i found that it did not have a thread rubber seal on it, silly me for not checking on install, anyway i got a seal fitted hooked it all up again. Have been leak test running now for 4 hours with out leaks, i always do 8 hours in total.

 

[SavageCupcake]

Wow.... I reallyyyyyyyy like the look of that great work on keeping the hosing tidy aswell

 

[alpenwasser]

The tidiness is strong in this one :rock:

 

[The Orange One]

Looks great mate! Nice work!

 

[PaddieMayne]

OK bleed testing done now got it all up and running, going to let it run now to get all the air out.

 

[pcjunkie429]

That looks pretty sweet, dude. The only thing I don't like about it is the anti-kink coil around the hose. Hence the name, you don't need it if the hose is in a straight line lol.

Cheers! :beerchug:

 

[dalewakelin]

That is just beautiful.

 

[alpenwasser]

Man, you are one fast builder!

It's turned out really nice, although I must also note my skepticism about the anti-kink coil (not
sure if I like it or not, usually I don't but here I'm not yet sure :lol: ).

But yes, this is one sweet little rig! :rock:

 

[PaddieMayne]

I really like the look of the anti kink coil, i suppose its a personal thing.

 

[alpenwasser]

I really like the look of the anti kink coil, i suppose its a personal thing.

It definitely is. What matters is if you like it, the rest is just the internet's opinion :lol:

 

[Dario_92]

That is one sweet looking RIG I really like how this has turned out. I now want this case lol
