Man, this is cool. I wish I knew how to do case mod stuff like this. 

Wow, this is going to be cool. I guess I’m going to have to actually pay attention to these boards now. 

Skipping some parts. The blue parts on the case have been painted dark red, front panel, top panel almost done, EKWB loop done. Still need to added some final touches but because of InfoGamer by Reboot in Zagreb and GamesCon in Belgrade, I had to finish the loop. Here are some pics:

Hey guys,
 
I'm new to the forums here, but I've been watching Linus's videos on YouTube for years. Anyway, I thought I'd take a little time to show off my first custom loop build (which is still nowhere near complete). It isn't perfect, but it'll get better over time. Also, the RGB lighting is usually set to white and blue (far tamer looking), but I figured I'd let it cycle for these pictures.
 
First off, it's a Tower 900, of course. Originally, I had most of these parts in a white NZXT Phantom case, but when I saw the Tower 900 online, I knew I had to get it. However, that proved to be rather difficult since I live in Japan now and the shipping and import charges from the US to Japan on a Tower 900 was around $230. Luckily, I found a website that sells it over here for around $310 USD (that's considered to be a good deal here). 
 
When I received the case, I immediately sold my 1080 and switched to an MSi 1080 ti Gaming X. When I bought that card, I had no intention of water cooling it, as I figured I'd wait for the Volta architecture from Nvidia, but yeah, I realized I didn't want to wait another year, so that should explain why I water cooled a non-reference card. As for the AIO Thermaltake Ultimate Water 3.0 that I have cooling the CPU, well, that's there simply because I don't have the money for a second loop at the moment, but rest assured, I will build a custom loop for that, as well! Speaking of which, I have no idea what color liquid I'm going to use for that second loop, and I feel like I've kind of backed myself into a corner in that regard since I bought Corsair blue, white, and black custom cables from Cablemod, so I'm open to suggestions for the liquid color in the second loop.
 
If you guys have any questions, please ask! I'll also show you how I handled the drain port in the rear of you'd like. That was a bit of a pain to figure out with the little space I had left between the 560mm radiator and the PSU.
 
Here are my specs:
Case: Tower 900
Motherboard: Asus X-99 Deluxe II
GPU: MSi 1080 ti Gaming X 
CPU: i7-6850K at 4.3 ghz (I'll overclock further after I build the second loop)
CPU cooler: Thermaltake Ultimate Water 3.0 (360mm rad). Yes, AIO coolers do fit in the Tower 900 cases!!!
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 8GB x 2
SSD: Samsung 750 EVO 250GB (I will switch to the 512GB Samsung Pro M.2 soon).
HDD: 2TB WD Blue. I'm not completely thrilled with the performance of this 5400 RPM drive, so I'll probably switch it out, as well.
Custom Loop Water Pump/Reservoir: Thermaltake PR-22 D5 pump/reservoir combo (I didn't go with EK because I like how there's already a bracket for Thermaltake pumps).
Custom Loop Radiator: EKWB 560mm Coolstream CE
Custom Loop Fittings: All EKWB. Two EK-AF 90 degree fittings, one EK-AF FF 90 degree fitting, two double 45 degree fittings, 12 EK-HDC fittings, a 20mm extension for the back of the res/pump combo (I highly recommend this extension for the Thermaltake!), a T-splitter, a Y-splitter rotary, an EK-AF ball valve, and 4 EK-CSQ plugs.
Custom Loop Liquid: UV reactive Navy Blue EK-Cryo Fuel 
Fans: I have a mixture of all three generations of Riing fans. Two original 120mm Riing fans on the back panel (I had extras from other builds), three 120mm Riing Pluses on the 360mm AIO rad, four 140mm Premium Pluses on the 560mm custom rad from EK, and two 140mm Premium Pluses in the front section of the chassis. Eventually, every fan in the case will be a Riing Premium Plus 140mm.
Custom Cables: Cablemod cables in Corsair blue, white, and black.
LED Strips: NZXT Hue Plus 
Keyboard: Razer Chroma
Mouse: Razer Deathadder Elite

looks great dude!
 
one thing i would change is the GPU cable routing. other than that great looks

I love seeing builds like this! Nice work so far.

I just realized that it looks like two separate 8 pins. Lol. It's actually a dual 8 pin cable. Perhaps I can get another comb to rein it in a bit, attach it to the main 8 pin, and make it look like it's going the same direction.

Here is my complete setup:

Finally working on the new desk for Goliath
 
Putting the parts together:

 
Got it home and ready to go:

Good morning DDCM fans and followers!
 
Time for another #DDCMdesk update:
 
First, I share our current setup…… Be gentle on this poor man.
 

 
 
Second, the last progress of the desk included mounting the mid shelf to the back piece.
 


 
 
Last but not least, we have our first procured part for the desk….. a Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive.  Initially purchased to back up our media/important files before I dare shut down everything and move it to the new house.
 




 
 
Next up, cut out the side window and cut/nail the base plate.  Once we have our workshop set up at the new house.  In the meantime, we are working on getting more parts/sponsorships.

I love seeing builds like this! Nice work so far.

To ensure a clean look and lines that keep the eye occupied with details of my choosing. I decided to create a small fan bracket in carbon fibre for the top part of the amazing be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 case. 
 
I wanted to hide the edge of the fans. Even if I love be quiets! fans, the side of any fan is very busy and I felt a carbon fibre fan bracket would help keep it clean and exclusive. Also with the carbon fibre look of the be quiet! fan wings it should make for a perfect match.
 

 

 
First I got some angled aluminium in the right dimension. Filed down 1,3mm to ensure a perfect match in height after adding the carbon fibre vinyl from 3M.
 
 

 
To ensure correct measurements I made a quick mockup of the fan bracket in Fusion360. Made measurements and working much quicker
 

 


 
Added some mounting brackets to combine mounting of the bracket with the top bracket of the case and fans. Primed and painted the entire bracket black before wrapping the front in 3M di-noc carbon fibre vinyl.
 
 

 
Many small angles and extrusions in the top part of the cabinet. So took some measurements and filling to make it fit, but after about 1h of work, it was all done and fitted perfectly.
 
Finished result

Got myself a RX Vega64 (standard).
 
 
Not sure why I am excited to convert this into a single slot GPU when I watercool....But I am.
