PROJECT GREEN DRAGON Hi Guys! Here i present you again a another unique build with Jonsbo Mod1 open-frame chassis. As you might know that i have done the previous build with the same case, but in red&black color. This time I chose the same chassis with green&black color and planned a totally different loop.:). The color combination has gone well, although I’am not going to do the major changing with the chassis. Decided to leave the original paint. But, let see how the build process is going on. The components and the water cooling parts are as below. Will add if something changes or or missed out.

I don't know if it's allowed. But, here i share the youtube video of the build.

Apologises for the long delay. The reason why it took so long to finish the project was the radiator on the top leaking. So i did order 2x Hardwarelabs Blackice Nemesis GTS 360S radiators and waited for over 10 days. One of them has arrived and the other was again delayed. I've decided to use a identical radiator as the one now at the bottom of the case. So i took my main pc apart and at the same time flushed etc and used one of the 360mm Rad from that on top of this case. Anyways, i'll keep shortly. There's going to be a youtube-timelapse video ready to upload. Just a few video to edit. Will share the link here when it's ready to go. I used in this build Primochill's VUE Red Razor coolant despite all rumors and negative feedbacks. Let's see what kind of reactions it'll give by the time. Final Shots! PC OFF PC ON

I have tried however do the cable management. But, there was no any equipment(s) to hide all the mess. Will tide up further. But, until that it looks like that. Before After. Not bad! Ain't it? But, still needs some work(s) to do...

Up next is to assemble the Pump&Top. I used Bykski pump-top and Barrow D5 PWM pump by using the barrow's 120 mm pump holder and 2 x L brackets. At first I was thinking of making 90 ° bends, for example, from monoblock to distro panel. I realized that there are hundreds of extension connectors / adapters reserved:). I know it would be more sensible to use glass tubes with no bends. But I decided to go this time with PETG. Monsoon PETG Hardline Tube 1/2 x 5/8 Clear 4x pack (90cm). Before assembling all, i just wanted to do bleeding test with Dr.Drop air-pump. I used only a Barrow's PETG cutter, a pipe chamfering, and a sanding paper. No needed to use any deburring tool etc. All connectors, adapters and extensions installed. Meanwhile the first tubes and 90 ° adapters are installed to the upper and bottom 360mm radiators&distropanel. The rest of the tubes cutted and installed.

Meanwhile installed ICE-M.2 passive heatsink to the DIMM adapter. Perfectly sits on the Dimm adapter and there's a sufficient gap between the 24pin so it doesn't gets heats up. In this waiting period the expected batch of a fittings and adapter packages have arrived thanks to UPS. Well, moving forward! I installed the connectors, adapters and extensions about 5-6 times in a different order. Never run out of thoughts though:). But, as I mentioned in my initial posting, I really needed the motivation to do both things at the same time (youtube video and build-log). I 've tried to spare the sufficient energy to accomplish this task and finalize the project within this week. I would recommend you to wait for the youtube (timelapse) video. Because the video takes >15 minutes. I tried to put as much details as possible. Though you may get bored watching after 5 min. lol. Well, anyhow there's always someone up there spending time on watching youtube channels for such builds/projects? In this loop I used generally monsoon's fittings, moonson's and barrow's adapters. I've been a bit disappointed on monsoon's PETG tube (easily gets scratched). Comparing to the Barrow the quality of the barrow is magnificent. Here's some more details about the parts i used in this loop. Fittings: - Monsoon Hardline Economy Compression Connectors, 1/2 "x 5/8" 6 Piece Set (2x Red and 2x Black) Engraved Logo (AK) Adapters: -Barrow 90 ° angle adapters. At both ends thread 4 pieces -Barrow 90 ° angle adapters. With single thread (6pcs) -Barrow 2x 45 ° Angle Adapter with 2 threads at both ends (2pcs) -Barrow Drain valve, black & red (1pcs) -Monsoon's 90 ° angle adapter. Black (3 pcs) and red (1 pcs) Extensions: -Barrow G1 / 4 passthrough (4pcs) -Barrow G1 / 4 10mm M-F extension connector, black (2pcs) -Barrow G1 / 4 7,5mm M-F extension connector, black (3pcs) -Barrow G1 / 4 40mm M-F connector, black (2pcs) -Barrow G1 / 4 20mm M-F extension connector, (2pcs) -Monsoon G1 / 4 10mm M-M connector, red (3pcs) -Bytes G1 / 4 10mm M-M connector, red (2pcs) Temperature sensor and flow indicator -Barrowch temperature sensor (with digital display) Unfortunately i didn't need to use it in this loop. -Freezemod flow indicator with red & black covers (1pcs) Hard tubes: - Monsoon PETG Hardline Tube 1/2 x 5/8 Clear 2x (90cm).

In this project, the most difficult thing was to design the "distribution-panel". It certainly took a couple of months until it was finished and CNC machined and shipped from the U.S. by a very good friend who has a great CNC skills. Few pictures from the process. I like to draw:) I've also polished it with car-headlight's polisher. The panel is ready to be installed. But, something left missing for this distribution panel. Sometimes thinking too much of details it leads to you to make mistake(s). I forgot to design the LED strip's place to integrate on distro-panel. But, I just found a simple solution to that. I first sticked the led-strip with a clear adhesive-tape and attached to the distro-panel. Against the glowing light i used the black vinyl to direct the lights through the distro-panel. Testing the lights. Getting ready to install the Hyper X savage 480 GB ssd with double sided self-adhesive tape Radiators, fans, powersuplly, sleeved cables, SSD and distro-panel installed. By the way, thanks to the Shakmods i have eventually received the EVGA 1000w sleeved cables. That was also one of the reason why it's delayed so long. One big step forward to the final.

Thanks. Appreciated. Will soon upload the whole bunch of pictures from the last progress of this build. Final is near.

That's a great work for the first timer man! The combination of the colors are nearly perfect. Was that coolant cryofuel? By the way, nice and clean plumbing...

Well, well. You got a very interesting neighbourhood. They enjoy the openair modding show. lol. Anyways, waiting for your final picture of paintings...

I firstly decided to go with EVGA Supernova G3 1000W Powersupply. I have realised afterwards that the sleeved cables are not suitable and it belongs to corsair's X series. Well, i've had a plan B (luckily) got a spare powersupply (TT thoughpower Grand Series 850w RGB PSU). I doubt it's going to work. But, will use it just to test the loop until EVGA's sleeved cables arrived. By The way the sleeved cables are my friend's Shakmods. Thank to him from here even it's all paid for:). TT thoughpower Grand Series 850w RGB PSU and Shakmods Red&Black sleeved Psu cables.

Well, after a long wait and settling in the new house. I began gradually do some progressing about this project. Will share a few pictures about what i have done so far. Well, i have decided to go with TT-Riing 120mm RGB fans. Before that i needed to do some make-up. Decided to play with Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter a bit to match the color(s). Here is the results. Before After For the radiators, i just used whatever i got, at least they're copper radiators(2x Barrow full copper 360x27mm radiators). Flushed them with vinegar and hot water. I hope they're as clean as it supposed to be.

Well, sorry for the delay (s) guys! Currently moving the house and build log will be delayed a bit. Will whare new pictures as soon as i'am ready.
