Specialtech got my order out again in quick time...
So im looking now towards the modding and finishing up the loop so i can get this fired up.
Some 1.5mm Alu sheet and some 3 mm flouro red acrylic.
Im removing the drive bay panels and replacing them with a solid Alu panel and doing some cover work on the HDD/SSD caddies..
Some braided fan cables,braiding cables is a pain at best,but doing fan cables is just frustrating for me,hence i wimped out and bought some.
The last fittings for the loop,Koolance lo profile 90's and a VID fitting for the pump tops.
Trying to keep the cabling tidy has become a bit of an obsession,these caught my eye...
Dont know if i will use it,i really im not keen on that HUGE connector..
These i will be using..
Staggered length SATA III cables,should keep everything tidy behind the board..
Now.....this was my GPU choice,3 670 FTW.
I know Coolmiester will be disappointed that its not dual 690...sorry mate!
Whats this?? A full size 680 board??
Which means 680 blocks and plates!!!
Dont get comfy stock cooler....
So now im waiting on another 2 cards and the blocks...plus some more storage...maybe a light even!....OOOOOOooooooh!

the card looks great, good to see EVGA used the 680 PCB and cooler, gets rid of the oddly placed power connectors and short PCB
Also can't wait to the mods you with the aluminum sheet

I was in the mood for some painting...]
So...i started by masking the already base coated pump covers.
a few hits with the RAL 3003 spray from paints4u,good service and a real good match to the existing red in the case,to get this.
But wait....i fancy some cutting action...TO THE JIGSAW!
I want a nice panel for the res,a bit of cutting and filing and we have...
It fits nice!
Drilled the holes for the mountings
Black etch coat...
A lot of spraying later and the panel is ready to be fitted.
Res mounts fitted and the panel is screwed to the HDD cage.
So...what do you think? Nice?
This cam phone just doesnt cut it...i need to get a better camera!!
Magoo agrees!!

Small update...
Power switches in...These will do for now,i think they are blue so they are not staying...looking for a 'feature' type switch,although these do go with the whole monolithic style to the exterior.
The front panel is going to cover all the bays but the FC and the pump controller will becoming thru.
Started with a florescent red plexi sheet cut to 20mm oversize,this will be drilled out for LEDs later.
This shot tried to capture the glow that the cut edge gives...fail.
The Alu cut to size for the front panel..
Mask the front up,dont want any little scratches!!
Can you see what it is yet?
I know the plexi looks more orange than red but its the edges im more interested in....i want them to really glow!
Now i need to brush up on my flame polishing skills!!
