Update:

 

Hi! The pump mount is on the way for tomorrow (hopefully tomorrow) and the actual computer part of the build is done :D

 

The loop will be started tomorrow and hopefully finished then or by Saturday. I have no idea how the back sidepanel is going to go on LOL Tell me what you think, especially of the SSD on my PSU :) This is not final, but almost there.

 

Pictures! I might take some more in a minute, these are a little too dark. (you'll know which ones)

 

Better light:

Looks good though i almost feel like the SSD should be on something, a piece of acrylic or a piece of steel or something idk. Looks great though, hoping i get enough money this summer to do my watercooling with those BitsPower fittings!

Thanks. I might put it on the ground or just not display it at all, but I have to see how big the pump/res mount is before I do :D

Did it take much to get the front 360 in? I should have probably gone that route, instead I got silly...

lol

 

Nope. All you need to do is drill out the 5.25' bay rivets and it slides out. Then you can just put the 360 right in! Mind you there are 10 rivets LOL

 

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Update:

 

I let the PSU sticker soak in De-Solve-it overnight. It's perfect! I needed more tubing so that and the res mount for the pump will be here today. See you later!

 

That is light making it white like that on top, it's actually black.

Update:

 

I just ran out of tubing with three more runs to go. Good thing I have more coming :D That and the res mount for the pump will also be here later.

 

I decided I would either display the SSDs on the PSU or not at all. I'm leaning toward not doing it and putting them on the back of the motherboard tray like always.

 

Tell me what you think!

Sorry for them being so dark again, they look a lot brighter on the camera itself. I'll be back later with the pump and res in there and the last runs done! See you then!

Hello everyone. I just got in the tubing and pump res mount and set to work. I realize that the pump mount won't work so I'll be returning that ASAP, but it's fine without it!!! :D

 

I'll be done later tonight and will leak test then. I'll show you temps and stuff to see just what you can get in a compact case like the Define R4. See you then! I'll have the best pictures I can take then, but for now here's a shot of the interim.

Update:

 

It's done! :D I used a watered down version of the EK premix blue and it's amazing. It also shouldn't stain because I used 1.5 parts water to 2 parts premix.

 

I will leak test over night and get the back panel on and clean it up a little later.

 

Pictures! I will take better ones when it's all done completely.
