Bedankt Marco! First thing to do ... I thought .. Ordered the wrong size fan. : ) Still want to see the effect. Comes in handy with cases like these. Fans mounted. And found out the standard EK rad isn't going to fit in the top, had to use a thinner one, even that was close. Top fans and radiator mounted too. And front.
Next day the 140mm fan for PSU also arrived. Re-drilled the holes cause the standard fan is 135mm. White Lamptron replaced with a green Bulgin. Heatshrink and sleeve to hide it inside. Test with UV/blue leds. And hardware inside to see how it looks. Also started with a first setup for the loop. All still temporary. Black instead of blue tape around the extender. (Will be out of sight) Next update more sawing and sanding.
Already spotted some pics online from people polishing their waterblocks. Seemed like a great plan for this build too : ) All I used for the polishing: P1500 P2000 P3000 and wax About 3-5 minutes with each for this result. So lets do the rest too : ) Cpu block also done. But was missing something. So.. That's better. Wanted to do it the easy way so kept the block and plexi in their place, just used a few pieces of tape to protect.
Took a little longer cause of the size. Also replaced the old bolts for stainless steel ones, also polished those. And the switch. Result .. I'm satisfied. And in the spotlight 'spotlight'.
Small mod this time Because I'm using an EK MEM block for this build and since I'm going to use a Dominator Platinum kit tried to make something to keep the Platinum look. At the start I wanted a small hole and keep the text. But it disappeared after 5 seconds with P1000 .. it wasn't punched in that deep. Time for an other approach. Just a few hours of filings and sanding And done.
Glued it on a few points. I know it's a totally useless mod, specially since watercooling Ram isn't needed.. Still I like the looks and doing it
Then I am yours Received a most awesome package from Corsair! These products will also be used in a next project. For example the lightbars will be for a next project. Still wanted to see them assembled for myself
You're awesome Gareth, thanks! After I helped Acid_Rain with his project he insisted to use his extensions. Fine to me .. they look great! Thanks Birkir!
Small update! Material softer then POM, lovely to work with, Polywood. 3M Velco, super strong. On request a small howto polish EK CSQ blocks. Can't wait to fill it up!
And another update. Had a day off at work ...... so back to work : ) Finally an opportunity to work with E22 tubing After one day of measuring, sawing and filing. And ... something I wanted to do a long time .. filling the loop : ) First with clear cause of the leak testing. After that adding the Mayhems UV laser green. (Thought this was cool : P ) And a little video of the filling + adding UV laser green to the loop with the pump running. Must See! : P Also ordered some extra ledstrips. On to the next, maybe last update : )
And here the last update before I upload the final shoot Did some last updates/add-ons on the ledstrips. Also completely tested and had the system running for a few days.
Also made some photos without all the UV When I brought it upstairs something came in mind for the final shoot. Why not use the reflecting glass panel from the previous/future project
