What is that cone shaped drill bit called?
I've gone on a tool buying frenzy as of late, and you have successfully convinced me I need one of those :P

Too much is never enough.

Hey, 

They are called Step Drills. I'm using these:

@3rikCartman Thanks for the reply. Plexiglas, I didn't even notice...though it was aluminum. Nonetheless it looks just as nice and perhaps a little lighter than a metal front. Loving the pictures of the pump mount and fittings, beautiful!

 

The cool thing about this plexiglas is, that when you put light behind it, it's no longer black mate.

11. More watercooling stuff

 

I bought the normal aluminum cooler first. When I realized, that the temps on the board reached 80 degrees+ I went for a waterblock.

This is beautiful, and the amount of customization is awesome.

Where did you get the carbon foil?

Was it just foil you would stick on or was it liquid?

 

The carbon foil is by Appa.

I'was just using foil, nothing liquid ;)

Eos 60 D is my camera. I was using it with kit lens and one softbox (60x40 cm).

14. Pipes

This is the tool I'm using for bending my pipes:

I wrote about the aquaero 5 waterblock. Here it is.

The water was getting uglier and uglier. You wont be able to see it, but I will replace the standart destilated water with some good stuff by EK.

This was version one of installing the pipes.

Now, the following shots are macro shots.

 

Which macro lens? And which camera body?

 

And very nicely done, by the way.

The macro was a Canon EF 100mm L IS lens on an Eos 60D.

Thanks :)

Thanks Bro ;)

 

15. Watercooling upgrade

 

The piece of pipe from cpu to mobo started to annoy me. My solution:

 

175n6kvy.jpg

 

Btw: I cut the pipes with this little tool :)

 

173rrsxm.jpg

At this point, some watercooling components arrived. And some more plexiglas :D

And again, pipes had to be bent.

 

1833wujy.jpg

 

Why I used red water?

 

184dvyud.jpg

 

Well, yea and I allready installed the cpu pipe;)

 

186moauu.jpg

 

I had some pipe left at this point. So I decided to bend a new one for the big radiator to gpu.
