Some detail about the fit of the radiator and reservoir.
I am designing 2 vertical panels. One will screw on the radiator and the base panel, while the other will support the reservoir when I fill the loop.
The motherboard and PSU have arrived from the sponsors and the o-ring cord from e-bay. As promised photos with better lighting
Two macro shots to understand the amazing finish of the heatshinks.
PSU time
Very good finish on the PSU as well and a very nice construction. So nice that I am actually sad, because there will not be a lot of the PSU visible in the end. The cables below will be cut to the right lengths and sleeved with paracord without heat shrink.
And time for more fit checks and measurements.
I am very pleased with the PSU fit between the cubes.
A good fit, but the left part (in picture) of the 3D printed cover will be 1mm thinner. This cover is just for testing and measurements and is nothing like the final cover.
As promised the cage for the HDD. In height it is a very good fit-alignment. Maybe the motherboard spot will need little adjustment for the riser cable.
Also the drive will not be at the edge, but it will be adjusted according to the cubes that will join the panels.
And to finish the update, the cage without the HDD. I will probably flip the drive with the cage and screw the GPU base on the bottom part of the drive. The drive itself is screwed from the sides.
That is all for now. I hope you liked the update and that I am not alone in thinking the photos are looking better. I am designing the vertical support panels and when enough are ready I will post the next update. Stay tuned!
