Hi ye, he did a great job on these, they are a slightly different colour to my GPU cables so ordered a set of those as well.

Acrylic painted and ATX Cable hole cut. Just got to cut the hole out for the LCD tomorrow along with the holes for the GPU cables and Sata

Yesterday was a honking day of cutting and filing Acrylic! I spent a good 5 - 6 hours cutting the cable management holes and the hole for the screen. I initially wanted to position the screen horizontally but it was way too close to the 24 pin ATX cable hole and I didn't wanna make a weak point there in the acrylic so I figured I would just go with a portrait orientation will need a whole new sensor panel design in AIDA 64 ....

 

So the cables are in:

 

 

 

and so is the screen

 

 

 

 

The acrylic cracked doing the last hole for the GPU cables which flashed me right up until I realised you wouldn't see it once the radiator and everything is installed

Had a good day today, the block arrived and I received some advice from SNEF on how to improve my pictures! As well as the block I also did some more painting, I started with the PCI brackets which were previously black:

 

 

I spent an absolute load of time painting the fittings, they aren't ready yet and I have a late day at work tomorrow, so will probably be Wednesday or friday before I can get this complete. I started by painting the "Aorus" logo which comes with the mono block as black, obviously this was no good. I've also thrown in an almost finished rotary coupling:

 

 

 

I then figured I should paint the GPU block link connector:

 

 

Cables in

 

 

Getting there!

Over the last couple of days I did a LOT of painting, namely the rotary fittings. This gave me some time to think about the mono block + vinyl situation. I initially decided to not do it as it would be difficult to see the "Aorus" logo on a white background. I figured I could over come this simply putting a piece of blue card behind the logo:

 

 

and some now white fittings!

Right everything is painted and I have spent the last 24 hours or so leak checking and bleeding. It aint finished yet, there's a stubborn bubble in the Monoblock, but elsewhere is all good.

 

So time for the glamour shots I guess! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for viewing all - I guess I will have more ideas for this in the future!

Been having a few issues with GPU temps - not high as such, but not as low as I would like for the amount of rad space I have. Theres been some new tube routing made and I also have a new D5 pump and Alphacool Light Tower on it's way, Should look great once it's in and hopefully increase the flow in the loop!

New pump installed and new layout complete. Needs some final touches (pump wiring!) and some final pictures, but heres a small update (wasn't worth a new log!)
