Project: Urahara

UPDATE

It looks like I will be building the system either this weekend or early next week, everything is almost here :).

For now I will just share a few plans I have for the case.

First I plan to Paint a Silhouette of Kusuke Urahara onto my right side panel, it will look like the image below.

Because my side panel is black, this silhouette will be Green. The white sections on his Hat and Shihakushō will be painted white using an additional stencil.

Hopefully this will turn out as good as i hope.

There is other things that I will do with the case using these stencils, but I will share these once this first one is done.
 
The teasing is too much! Can't wait to see the build begin :D.

The build will begin next week, but for now you can have this.

Now with waterblock! :)

I will wire in some 3mm red LEDs to replace the blue ones that came with the waterblock. That way the GPU will represent Kisuke's Zanpakutō Benihime (which translates to Crimson Princess).

I'll be heading home to see the family for the easter weekend, so there will not be an update until Monday or Tuesday.

On a side note, this can conclusively show you guys that the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X Series GPUs have a reference PCB and therefore are water cooling friendly. I'll give temp results and Overclocking results once the pc and water cooling loop is constructed.

BIG UPDATE, The build has begun.

Step one; Green Strips - Check

Step Two; Construct a Tidy Loop (Without buying any new hose of fittings [Budget constraints :( ] )

I'll be filling and leak checking the loop tonight and will hopefully start spray painting the designs onto the side panel.

What do you guys think of the loop ATM and is there anything you guys would change?

I will write a post tomorrow on all the components used in the loop, with pictures and some future plans or changes to anything in the loop.
 
Can't see anything wrong at all with that bud, looking real tidy so far and I'm really diggin' the dark Green.
 
Leak Checked and wired in the Red Leds.

I had to remove the Blue LEDs that came with the block and Frankenstein some Red leds in their place.

Some of you guys will be wondering why there is red lights in a green build?

Well long story short the GPU represents Kisuke's Zanpakutō (Sword) Benihime, which can be used to create a red blast of energy. I added a picture below which shows this.

As for the PSU cables, I will be using a White set of extensions that I already own and I will be lacing the cables together using Alpenwasser's guide, so those untidy cables will not be there for long.
 
Love the layout man, you got a lot in in such a small case and still made it look good and not cramped.

I recently laced my exstention cables i bought using that guide as well, i loved the look of it and the extra effort makes your build look 100% better.

Here is a shot of some of my lacing i did.

If you want to jump on over and have a look at the rest of the cables my build log is here

Cheers man, It was actually your build that made me decide to try cable lacing.

I was going to use one of those plastic cable clips to give a similar effect, but i think lacing gives a much more professional look. Hopefully it will look as good as yours.
 
Yea it definitely will look so much better then a cable comb, and it isnt that hard to do. I had a old cable laying about and did 5-6 laces on it first just for some practice ( was really cos i got the lace first and was waiting on my exstentions to come ;p ) but with that guild he makes it so easy to fallow.
 
i suprised at you! lol i thought the leds would represent Benihime blood misy sheild ;) hehe looks really good though really impressed :D
