Project: Watery

Time for some water-cooling bling.

The second I saw these 1/2" compression fittings, I knew I HAD to have some for my build. I aslo got one of the Xtender shrouds to mount on the front 120mm fan for visual effects.







Mmm.. Clear-ness.



LED's for the Xtender



Mmmm. Compressiony.

A BIG thanks to The Feser Company for the parts in this update :D
 
I was rather bored so I started sleeving today, swapped the molex's for UV green ones, and used 3mm AC Ryan green. No source of heat though, so heatshrink hasn't shrunk.



 
Id advise to use cable ties for the ends of the sleeve, otherwise it just pulls out *found it out the hard way* :D

Looking good. keep us updated ;)
 
Next stage in the project is going to be buying a motherboard, I was looking at this one:

XFX 630i mATX Motherboard because it really fits the colour scheme, while being a good all round board!



I fully de-sleeved the PSU, and will go and buy a hole load of solder, a soldering iron and one of those 'third hand things' to help me get my sleeve on.

My plan for this summer is to do all of the sleeving so its 100% perfect and the exact right length aswell as collecting all of the hardware, and starting the customisation on the motherboard and the DVD and HDD drives.

:D
 
My photography really doesn't do this justice. I'll take some more photos tonight when I'm home with my tripod etc.

I hope you like it :D











And fully done.

I still need to cement it to fully seal the res, and then tap to G1/4" threads.
 
I bet its nice having the endless supply of technology at your fingertips, your a lucky little ****. ROFL!!!

Loving it as usual. Looks amazing

I'll go off to B&Q tommorrow to buy a Soldering Station and a Helping Hand aswell as a some Taps and Dies and solder, then on tuesday probably, I'll order a motherboard and start working out cable lengths.
 
Not much to report bar COD:4 multiplayer.

I've ordered two of these ABS General puropse boxes measureing 85x56x21 and 150x80x46.


The smaller one will go at the back between the PSU and the radiator and hold the fan wiring, LED wiring and the light switching. The larger box will hold the box, with a 40mm fan in the side, aswell as a flow rate sensor etc. and moniter water cooling.

Should be here with 48Hrs so then work can continue.
 
I'm still waiting for my 'little' bits to arrive, so this is a slight progress report.

Here is what the case 'sort' of looks like at the moment. I really need to decided on my mobo soonish though as I need to work out the back I/O panel holes etc.

Otherwise, its colour scheme time. What do you prefer?

1. Just UV with Green Tubing and Coolant

2. UV with Blue LEDs and Green Tubing and coolant

3. UV with Green LED's, green tubing and coolant.
