Project the Phantom Bee, reborn.

That's the one run i'm not 100% on either. I have tried to hide it beside the rad, but by the time you get enough fittings on for the angle they are too long. I might consider a pass through, and run it behind the mother board ? Or a 90 in place of the 45 and fix it to the fans. It's still hard to tell, until I've got the front rad mounted properly. Bloody acrylic suppliers, it's coming Friday, thank god.

The fittings coming out of the top of the front rad will be connected to the front, the rad bracket has cracked that was the only way it would hold.

I'm not sold on the res being on the rad either to be honest, it just looks wrong. I've been in touch, with FrozenQ in the States about their colors. They used to stock a proper yellow, but they are telling me that they still carry yellow, it is marked as amber. It might look OK, as the ram lights are more amber, than yellow. Plus with yellow pastel, I think it would work well, as the ram looks like a heart beat, and the spiral of the res would glow the same color. What do you think ?

Without having the thing before me, that sounds like something I would try.

Considering that you have a tube run coming out of the res' bottom cover,
I assume it's not possible to mount it to the plate beneath. Only other option I
can see is mounting it to the M/B tray.

Colours are always tricky to judge by words, so this is usually trial and error
It does not sound too bad though, so I think it's probably worth a shot.

Well after all the planning effort a and waiting for my acrylic to arrive this project has stopped. My brother trying to be helpful, cut of the front panel dowel split plugs, that connect the panel to the chassis. It might be partially my fault in explaining what I needed doing whilst I went out. Never mind things happen, so I've just ordered the CM Storm Trooper, to start again.

So yet another week of delays, waiting for the case, and test fitting to sort the loop order out, and more acrylic to order. All but one piece should be ok to use, but all I can do is see when the case arrives.

A plan is a list of things that don't happen. :lol: :banghead:
