I absolutely love that cast M/B plate on the D Frame. :wub:

I could do without the stickers, but that's just my personal taste.

Would it be possible to route the two tubes going to the res/pump through the

narrower case side instead of between the window and the frame? I think that

might look cleaner (at least to my eyes), but it's tricky to tell if it can

be done from here.

But nice, definitely something different for a change. :)

i tried running the tubes from the other side but the top tube stopped the top fan from spinning. i wanted it to go in from the other side but this was the compromise.

I like the MSI gaming shield badge but yeah, stickers are a bit gay really. I've put all mine in a baggy lol.

 

Lovely build though. I've always had a soft spot for the D frame. Reminds me of a roller coaster construction kit :D

Ah well, sometimes you have to compromise. Still a nice build. :)

The mechanical engineering geek side of me absolutely loves the D frame. I don't

really like its aesthetics so much, but more the constructional concept and materials

used.

Those Monsoon fittings look great. Nice job. Love how the tubing is the ~same colour as the frame.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Not a fan of the case, but great job with the WC loop and the cable management :).

 the monsoon fittings look really good but they can be a bit hard to screw on sometime if you cant get your hand in the right place to get some leverage on it.  but well worth the buy

i used a D5 pump and it is a res/pump combo and the res is not really part of the loop and bc of that i still have a few bubbles that are in the loop
