Thanks everyone!

money shots   The Family   The cards

Hey everyone,
 
Well i started the weekend on buying some Black acrylic 3mm thick,
and started on the construction of the cover inside the desk,
Wich will help both with Cablemanagement,and the Blue Liquid and lights will be much better visible and appear Much cleaner,
I am only done with a part of the inside ,(But what is done Seems to look ok)
 
Each comment ,like and oppinion is much apprichiated
 
 

Blocks installed.  Sorry for the not so great pics, I rushed it a bit because I was excited to start the acrylic bending lol.
 

 

 

 

Sadly no   
 
Update time (although probably not one you were expecting since I have not yet finalized on my x99 motherboard and RAM):   Another sponsor? I must be the luckiest guy in the world:     I was speaking to Will, the CEO/CTO at Hardware Labs, about a few things in general and then realized my hotbox would be a great place to test out radiators. One email later, he had 2 of his new Nemesis radiators on the way to me:     A GTX 560 (No, not an old Nvidia GPU) and a GTS 480. We had previously agreed on a GTX 480 and a GTX 560 but he was extremely confident on the GTS 480 being able to beat out other 480/560mm radiators and sent this as an intended replacement for my SR 1 560 radiator. The few reviews out there all seem to agree that these rads pull a lot of weight in performance compared to larger radiators so I am pretty eager to test these out soon.   Here's a look at the GTS 480 (GTX 560 barely fit in my light box):                           Bonus- A terrible video looking at the two rads stacked:       I will do a full review soon.

OK that's the phone panel completed. First I did all the measuring.
 

 
Then I had an idea.. If I photocopy the phone it will make everything easier..
 

 
Ahh yes, that's a good idea alright.
 

 
Then add adhesive tape to the back...
 

 
And stick the bugger on.
 

 
OK so I need three holes so I can use my touch pen to use the phone fully. First I took a hole gauge and found the correct bit.
 

 
And drilled it out.
 

 
And a short while later with the Dremel.
 

 
Cover and fit.
 

 
Jackpot.
 

Right well I believe it's about time for...   AN UPDATE!   Sorry for taking to long with this one.  To cut a long story short, I was on holiday for the last week of July and the first few days of August.  However, as soon I planted my feet on UK soil, I started working on the final part that needed to be laser cut.  I was originally going to go with aluminium here and paint it, but in some inspirational haze I realised that it would be much better if instead I went with matte black acrylic.  Needless to say, I'm glad I went that route.  It really does look fantastic in person, I'll have to see if I can nab some better pictures later on.    
   
 

start tubing , first need loop test fit
and I like it

I chose to paint the thumbscrews for CPU block because they were nickel
 




 


The Kingston HyperX Na'Vi Limited Edition
 


Top grill is cut out along with the 5.25 drive cage
 



The front is painted. Radiators and fans are mounted

 



The reservoir mounted on the radiator with a bracket I made from a piece of an aluminum strip

 



The connection between the two radiators was a bit difficult to make but a small piece of solid tubing did it.

 


The graphics card is installed and the installation of the tubing can begin
 


A piece of solid tubing between the pump and the reservoir
 


The front panel is now sleeved
 



One of the two Y-cable to the fans

 



The small wireless antenna cables were also sleeved

 



A Wi-Fi card does not look pretty. It will be tucked away behind the aluminum Square

 


The antenna cables are installed and Wi-Fi card tucked away behind the yellow square
 



More sleeving. A 24pins extension cable is being made

 



24pins cable is finished

 



The filling of fluid in the system. Mayhem's Pastel Sunset Yellow

 


Getting all the air out of the system
 



It looks quite good

 



The front is fitted

 



The power supply is in place and the last sleeved cables are made and fitted

 



It was my idea to mount the SSDen on top of the power supply

 


Just a close-up of PCIe cables
 


The cables are strip in place and almost done
 
 
UPDATE
 


New Hexx grills
 


The new top grill
 


There was not enough room for a fan but a grill as decoration 
 
UPDATE Almost done
 

The front is now fully assembled  
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
Do not really know what kind of light I should choose. Here are the four options I have!
   
UPDATE Detailing
 

There was something missing here on the radiator and the recess invite to be used.  
The trim.  
Mounted. Looks good.  
A logo on the cover for the WiFi card.  
Silverstone Aero Slots painted yellow  
The Aero Slots mounted in the Case.  
Looks good but !!  
The Kingston SSDs yellow color does not quite match.  
I fixed this old dead Corsair SSD with a little paint and a logo.  
I do not know if I should switch Kingston SSD out?
