UPDATE


Good day to all Guru3D community!

Well here we go for another update!

First, placing tape to mark the necessary cuts and of course I could not miss the modder's favorite tool, the Dremel ....!!!



Here the first headache, only the end of the third attempt, which was achieved the correct application of carbon



Now carbon applied to 100%



Which to me is brilliant and much work has given me the motherboard tray



The 360´s radiator complete whith the Enermax TB Vegas DUO





Beautifull 360´s radiator Grill



The plate to the side bay cover



Beginning the molding of the side bay cover



Now it´s complete



My improvised studio painting



Completely painted





More photo´s coming

Great project, I'm extremely envy.

Can you show me a close up of how you sleeved the vegas fan? I have one here and it's a bit complicated since it has many wires. :\

Would really appreciate that.

UPDATE


Well guys, I apologize for the delayed update, I had a big problem on a finger of the left hand which had to have surgery and was unable to proceed with the project.
Now that I'm better I returned with all my strength and show the Portuguese modding
Without wasting any more time, let's ace photos


































The project is 95% complete, still need to make some retouching here and there and then post final photos.

I await your comments and opinions

Stay Tuned

Hi PhazeDelta!

Nop, the pumps are not working in serial, I have two loops, one that makes the circuit of the GPU'S and the other does the motherboard circuit.
