Slam.

vacation at the grocery store.... Al Bundy style.

An update coming in a few days

Looks great, looking forward to seeing more

love the cable management, really clean, can hardly even see the 24 pin!
 
on topic: looks really sweet, like the paintjob and nice placement of that extra pci cover

Nice! But i think this post fits better in the general discussion section. There´s a thread called "show of your setup"

Thanks guys!
I indeed use flexible tubing inside the frame, all other tubing in sight is hardline PETG
 
Lets see what I have left between my plexi stack


I wanted to replace the original tinted glass with blue plexi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Removing all stickers with specs and serials


Lets change something about the ssd


With plex and old fan mounts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


An extra support/cover for the PSU

 

 


More about it later


Extra hole for the fan wires on the radiator


And removing some of the original PSU bracket for the new cover/support.

And finish the edges

 


Till next update!

 

The frame is hollow, so he pushed flexible tubing through.
This is a brilliant idea - followed.

So now comes the completed pictures! Thanks to my friend Jordan for taking the pics
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
This is the spacing between the bottom of the pump and the graphics card backplate. I actually ground down the fins on the pump so I could mount it a little lower to minimise how much the one tube sticks out the top of the case. Speaking of which...
 

 

 
In these pictures, you can see how the tube sticks out the top.
 

 
Here you can see a little better how the huge tube runs into the back of the case.
 
 
 
Now I have saved this picture for last...
 

 
A little tribute to the man/channel that got me into computers and turned me into an enthusiast. Without Linus and their team, this computer wouldn't exist, and I would have a lot more money   A large chunk of my computer knowledge has come from this channel. Even going into computer classes in high school, I knew a lot of what was taught in the class just from LTT videos. Getting into computers and PC gaming was one of the best things I've done. It's definitely one of my favourite hobbies. Thank you Linus; keep up the good work.
 
Now some final words about the build. This was definitely quite the learning experience. If I were to do this again, I would plan out the loop much more extensively. I just kind of bought a bunch of parts and straight fittings thinking everything would fit perfectly; boy was I wrong. Everything takes up much more space than I thought it would. Even measuring certain things, they turned out to be physically bigger than I imagined. And if I ever do another custom loop computer, which I probably will, I'm not going to do it in such a small case, again for space reasons. There is probably a reason this case was called the Air 240. Again with planning out the loop better, I also probably would have coughed up more money for some angled fittings. Using just straight fittings and bending everything can look cool, but it's such a pain in the ass. For example, the weird bend I had to do from the pump to the top of the GPU. Yes it looks good, but I think it would look better if I had some angled fittings to help. The only thing i'm a little unimpressed with is the noise of the pump. I chose a DDC pump simply because they're smaller than D5 ones, and I'm stubborn and wanted the pump/res in it's current place no matter what. I knew going into it that DDC ones are louder than D5 ones, but I still find it a little annoying that my computer was quieter before I liquid cooled it. 
 
That's all I can think to say for now. Thank you to everybody for following this and to the people who commented. It's really appreciated. I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
 
Enz0man's Dream Rig is officially completed.

I didn't even know they made SP fans with LED's

What could those be?
 

Update #1 - First things first
 
 
I already have the first two parts waiting
 

 
I got extremely lucky when I was browsing the webstore. I guess there was a mistake of some sort and the price of the 250 gig SSD was just 82,38 euros.
Of course I didn't wait around and ordered it immediately. Right after paying for it I went to check if the price was still the same and it was removed from the site completely 
 
Everything else should arrive tomorrow and I have yet to order the HDD and a case fan.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Next Update ->
 

Criticism would be reviewing their product, pointing out flaws.
 
Going on their page and essentially saying "look guys this is better" is just being a dick. I would have blocked you too.

it will hurt it emotionally as you're taking it away from its long term friends.

"Little Titan"
*uses 970*

S6 is a pretty good choice, if you can deal with touchwiz.

I7 has more threads, which only really help with rendering and workloads.
 
Games don't take advantage of hyper-threading and very few ever will.
 
Get a I5 4690k and 970 or 290(x) that way you meet the recommended spec for VR if that tickles your fancy.

Dat GPU sag tho

Update 7
The Grand Finalé 

 
 
Hello friends! 
 
Today, I update this build log for the last time with the final photos for my Raijintek Metis modding project - Elegance. 
 
I would like to give a massive thank you to all of the vendors who have supported this project with their products, but most of all I would like to thank you (Yes you reading this!!) for being here, taking interest and giving feedback during this entire process. Without your help and support, I would not be able to do what I love to do - To create PC art!
 
So without further blabber and fluff, it is with great joy that I present to you the final images of my latest completed project - Elegance by MetallicAcid.

Kind regards,

Thanks guys.

This is my build that i started on at the beginning of the year. Its taken a while and its still not finished. Right now i just kinda get buy with a 5400rpm HDD but that is all going to change. I plan to put 2x 500GB Samsung 840 EVOS in RAID 0 in this thing. If i get a little more money this summer than i think im going to get well then its going to be 780 and full custom loop time. This build will continue to be updated throughout the next 3-4 months with more and more little and maybe big touches. Also a STEEL midplate is being designed by me right now. Should be done in a month or two.
