Update 10

 

Mounting the pump and hard drive in the bottom, both are sitting on foam pads to try and lower the amount of vibration that is taken into the case.

My dad is a plumber and we have been planning out and gathering parts for a copper piped build for him for quite a while now.

 

It is great to see someone running with this idea on the forums! I have only seen it couple times in the past! It looks AMAZING so far.

 

My dads build will be quite different - our case will be a Silverstone TJ11, we picked it up a two weeks ago and have been drawing out plans in our spare time since then, it will still be a few months atleast before I even post the plans on the forum!

 

Anyways man great job, I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

(that midplate is gorgeous, I'm sure you could sell them.... just saying... If you don't want to sell them make a guide!)

i agree that midplate is gorgeous and cant wait to see your dads pc build
