COMPLETED - titan - Scratch Micro-ATX Build

Hey all, I've decided to try a scratch Build. I've been planning it for a while now and I've been able to start it. I wanted to make a simple, clean case that allows for easy liquid cooling integration. I've posted this on another forum and I wanted to see what kind of feed back and critiques I can get.

That's amazing! Awesome job so far. 

What fluid are you planning to use? Pastel?

Thanks guys 

 

I'm not too sure what fluid I would use, I'm still debating over the color. I actually haven't looked to much into pastel I'm not to sure how it works.

Looks like the top of a TJ11, which I really really love. Can't wait to see it completed!

Haha thanks, I think a Titan would be a tight fit in the case. xD

You wont have to wait too long I've finished up the majority of the parts just waiting on a couple things. I'll have an update later tonight. :D

I got a couple of updates

 

I mounted the NZXT Hue Fans in the front of the Case

Built a custom faceplate for the Aqauero, and cut away a hole to mount it.

I got a new custom GPU I/O panel.

Hey all a quick update,

I was able to finish up the loop in the case and get it up and running but I wasn't able to take too many photos at the moment and I have some more mods left to do so for now I'll just leave you all with a sneak peak.

Hello everybody, I have been able to take some more photos of where the build is currently at. I still need to sleeve cables as well as do some cable managment, so most of the photos do not include cables at the moment.

 

Here is the completed loop. I did not need a lot of tubing at all for this build due to the compact size of the case and the use of Barrow acrylic fittings. So it did not take long to set up the loop.

I haven't found a good enough way to take more photos of the LED's so I wasn't able to take many more photos, but I'll be sure to post a update very soon of the different LED patterns the case can do.

I got a quick update of some more pictures of the LED's as well as a photo of the drainport and GPU I/O panel, I hope you all enjoy them

Dang, looking awesome :)

 

What is the plug with the wire in the last pic?

 

And if I may, what did you use to take all the photos? they're nice and crispy :) 

 

Thanks :D

 

Its a Stop Sensor, it shows me the water temperature. Its useful for the Aquasuite, I got this on my background:

That specific sensor is the Outtake Temp.

Nice! :) 

 

thx for the reply, is that a rainmeter? I've always thought they were cool but haven't figured out how to set one up for myself yet.

Haha thank you for the kind words. It's actually not rainmeter but it looks like it. It's Aquasuite, it's the program that comes with the Aquaero 6. It monitors hardware and liquid temps, and you can use it to adjust fan speeds depending on water temperature. One of the features is that you can display charts on the desktop, it's a pretty cool software.

Hello everyone I got a update with the sleeving. I was able to do the majority of the sleeving over the last week using MDPC's Shade 19.

it looks so awesome. the only part which is a bit less is the soft tube waterloop. hardline would look even nicer, but it is tougher to build as well. I'm looking forward to seeing it done!

love the build it looks amazeballs. Are you worried about the video card with no mounting hardware or do you have a plan for it?

Thanks! I actually prefer the softtube to the hardline, but I might try using hardline one time, it wouldn't take that much work as the majority of the build uses extension fittings and Barrow acyrlic tubes.

Haha thanks! I actually talked about this in another thread: At the moment I have a temporary clamp in place, and I am working on a bar that will support the GPU, that's the next thing to do for the project.

I got a small update for the GPU mount and sleeving.


Here's the flowrate Wire, I got a couple more wires to do in the case, but I got to wait for more sleeving to come in:

Heres the GPU Mount, I still got to clean and paint the part, I think I will vinyl wrap it to cover the holes:
