So here is a small update, with a lot of pictures of not much actually.
I have finally began making the reservoir. Before I was going further with that I needed to test if one 3mm acrylic plate could handle a g1/4 tap for the fittings. So I took a piece of acrylic that was left over and tapped it with G1/4 thread....
And it was a succes so I also did the side of the pump. The pump gets a 90 degree fitting and also the reservoir and then they will be connected by a red tube without clamps.
The acrylic didn't burst into pieces which was also good, no cracks what so ever. Hooraayyyy!
Then I needed to paint one piece of aluminum for the front panel to finish of the front panel. The weather was good here in Belgium so I had a day or 2 to paint the piece. I also had to cut an extra hole for the fancontroller I got from Phobya. So I redesigned the frontpanel piece of aluminum and this is the result.
Unpainted
Unpainted
Painted...
I had just enough paint left to paint this piece of aluminum.
So back to the reservoir, everything is lying on the workbench to be cut and tapped. But didn't have the time yet to make the top and bottom of the reservoir with the fan cutout.
Back to the frontpanel. Of course because of the redesign of the front panel, the piece of red acrylic needed to get new holes.
Before
After everything was done, I glued the piece of aluminum to the red acrylic...
And then the whole thing could be glued to the aluminum panel of the 800D...
And then there was some playing with lights...
I did say I only had to paint one thing, well since I'm going to watercool my GTX670, the backplate needs to be removed so I can paint that as well.
There were also somethings I bought external dvd drive, usb3.0 cardreader and a Seagate 3TB drive cause my 640Gb Black Caviar was having some issues.
You can see it here:

So now the case is actually done, except I need more ledstrips for the frontpanel, when that is done I'm going to finish the reservoir and make a "review" of my 800D White Destroyer...
But there is more....
If I make enough money this summer I probably going to make a second loop in the case for the 2 670's (I'm also going to buy a second one then).
And I am also thinking of replacing the ROG logo and making a Bitfenix one cause it's also cool, but we will see, first things first leds and reservoir.
So that was everything for this update, enjoy the pictures and watch out for more.
