Could use some cable tidying, but otherwise I like it.

Pictures were from when I was still bleeding the loop, so everything but 24pin and a molex connector were disconnected...

looking good mate

Looks fantastic mate, well done.

 

[drunkenvalley]

I'm beginning to wonder about getting individually sleeved cables in black and white pastel fluid though. Thoughts?

 

[PapaSmurf6768]

Good idea IMO. That aurora looks awesome, but will clog up your loop pretty quick.

Looks good mate

I'd flip the PSU, would look neater with the fan showing rather than the label

To be fair I was mostly just disappointed in the fluid's effect (except when turning off the machine, god that's sexy). I was under the impression it would look better.

Anyway, I'm pondering a lot of alternatives. One would be red sleeves and pastel Light Red. Or black sleeves and pastel Chocolate Brown.

Looks great, dude
I do love the 650D, and the backplate for the Asus card. Cracking job

tidied cables and whatnot, the system powered up

 

[drunkenvalley]

It occurred to me that I never got back to you guys on this... So let's fix that.









Sadly, these pictures were taken because I was picking apart the rig and wanted some shots before it went away. Reason is I'm working on a bit of a longer-term "this had better turn out perfect" rig in a Switch 810.

So I'm testing the new GTX 680 that'll go with the one from my 600T build. Don't want to have a faulty card after replacing the cooler. Too much trouble for no gain to me lol.

Great looking mate. Love the contrast.

Looks very nice connectors on the GPUs top would be usefull

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. '-'

G1/4"s to keep the tubes shorter

 

[Techie103]

Did you fill that thing with lemonade? LOL :lol:

Oh. Wait. I get it...

Well, sadly that wasn't an option. It's the Asus DCII HD 7970. It looks like the old blocks but was the first to not have any options for connecting on the topside. '-'

It's actually Mayhem's Aurora Hydro Gold. :huh:
