Here it is the bulid log to my purple Fractal Arc. I have build it in two main steps. The first was with only a cpu water cooled loop the second one is compleatly water cooled.

The System is at this date compleatly builded and runing. i will upload the compleate log when i find the time to make it.

PSU & CASE 1

Thats the standard Fractal Design Arc Midi Tower.

The frond and top part are easy ro remove and the mash is easy to remove too. So ic tooked the mash parts out spray painted them purple and put them back together.

I sprayed all the inside of the purple and sleeved the cables from the case black and purple.

Painted all the fans (Fractal 140) alsow purple.

Made the cut outs in the side pannel and fixed a acrylic windo with double siedet tape

thats the raw PSU

sleved all the cables i need in purple and black

pantet all the visible logos alsow purple and fitted it in the case

so thats part one... hobe you liked it.

Personally I'm not really a fan of that color, but you've managed to get me hooked on your project. Looks pretty good and I want to see more of it =)

Are you going to modify/paint some of the hardware as well? Like the motherboard or graphics-card for example.

.... Are you going to modify/paint some of the hardware as well? Like the motherboard or graphics-card for example.

my mainboard, cpu and gpu are watercoolt at the moment (build log follows), but i dident mod the parts more than put the water blocs on them. im actualy planing a new build for the summer or lets say not a new buld more a makeover and i hope im able to mod some parts at the new rig

When something looks so effortless, you appreciate how many hours of work have gone into it to make it so.

The curvy window is brilliant.

Looking forward to your next batch of photos.
