Cool thought it'd been a while - glad you haven't given up half way through.
naaa never give up, this project has been a ball. well exept the bit of ordering perspex insted of acrylic and not realising until i tried to poly cement it.. whoops
Supply Drop
It is that time again and another supply drop has arrived, this time it is my much anticipated EK Watercooling
So lets see what we have on the box........
Fittings, Res, CPU waterblock, MB waterblock, Pump, and Some EK UV blue coolant
First up for a closer look, the MB waterblock for the ASUS Crosshair V formula
The Crosshair V only has space fo a small MB waterblock but it looks great non the less
I am happy to report this comes with all the fixtures you will need and the thermal pads too
Next up... CPU waterblock (Supreme LTX AMD)
Ahhhh a thing of beauty, chunky and very heavy for its size, always reasuring
This also comes with all fixing you will need, and the AMD LTX blocks do not require a dedicated backplate
Next... EK multioption res 250basic
I am mystified as to why this res is called the basic, the options are just great, whilst it lacks the 2 front facing ports of the advanced model it gains a top port ideal for filling
Inclided... 2 port caps, bolts for mounting, mounts and threaded internal tube
Fixings, not a lot needs to be said here exept they are all of great quality. In a break from the norm i will be using barbs as i like the look. Same goes for the UC blue fluid, i simply cannot resist UV blue and EK has some of the best UV dye around
Last up, from EK, the pump, as i am using a cross flow rad that will be roof mounted i wont need a hugely powerful pump to move the head of fluid so i went with the nice compact DCP 2.2
Again there is plenty supplied including 3 to 4 pin converter and mounting brackets
And my radiator the Hardwarelabs GT Gen2, this is a cross flow with ports on either end rather then the traditional PC watercooling of a twin layer return flow, and perfect for my requirements, great flowrate and perfect for clearing board architecture that may get in the way of a more conventional rad
A MASSIVE THANKS TO EK FOR TAKING A CHANCE ON SPONSORING THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

UPDATE TIME!!!!!!!
A massive thanks to Enermax for the fans
MORE COMING SOON.......................
So this week its been all about the PSU cover and res holder combo
BUT.. there was a problem, when i could have ordered some nice smoked (very easy to cut and bond) Acrylic, i messed up and ordered the nightmare to cut and bond that is Perspex (plexiglass) so there was some serious outside the box thinking to get around it
First up getting all the pieces together (couldnt get pics of cutting wayyyyy to much airborne dust) )
First off i tacked all the pieces with superglue that i gelled with a little water...... it fell apart 3 times resulting in a LOT of swearing, finaly the main shell was tacked
The task began of finding a way to bond the perspex in a way that could take the stresses as obviously superglue will fracture if subjected to a shock....... so..... an hour of wandering around the house searching for old stockpiles of tools and misc decorating odds and ends when an idea struck me..... why not use the car body filler that i used on the side panel...
SUCESS!!!!!!! It aint pretty but it sure is strong
and the starting of the res holder an front plate
more later when the glue and filler fully cures and i can go mental with a sander
IN THE MEANTIME...... another....... SUPPLY DROP
This time Enermax who have been good enough to assist me with this project with some amazing Vegas Duo fans
And here they are
so whats in the box i hear you cry... well ok i dont but here it is just incase you did cry it
side by side 120mm and 140mm Vegas Duo fans, and the accessories from the the packs
Each fan comes with an attacked micro speed control and mode button
each fan also included rubber mounts and a 3pin to moles adapter
Now on to the 2 main features, the first is the brilliant click blades, a simple puch of the back of the blades and the blades unclip from the body of the fan, brilliant for cleaning and modding
at this point i need to point out that the blades are clear with a silver stripe to reflect the led arrays around the housing
and the second main feature of these amazing fans... the LED array, with the Vegas Due this is a twin array (blue red), the big brother to these the Vegas Trio have triple arrays of red, blue, green and more then 11 modes on the Duo alone
the Vegas range in action
And to finish off this supply drop the back of the box
and i simply had to add this as it just caught my eye.. there is a tab on the top to make it easier to open the fan packaging so you dont destroy the package... kinda cute

love the fans, is it possible to have them just one colour LED?
yes it is, each colour has separate isolated modes
