Devil's Canyon Hardline Build

[Philio]

This is my Devil's Canyon / ROG based hardline build. I have kept with the ROG colour scheme throughout for now but may change it over time. It's taken a few weeks to decide on all the parts and put together.

 

System is up and running but there are some small changes I'm still planning to make, mainly aesthetics - figuring out the best colour scheme for fluid/lighting that will highlight all the components inside well.

This doesn't photograph very well, this one isn't too bad but trying to get the right external lighting/flash at the right angle is ongoing!

 

 

TODO:

 

Decide on final colour of fluid, or leave alone.

Decide on best lighting, possibly a mix of white and red LEDs.

Beautifully done. I cant wait till I have all the parts for my watercooled h440. I hope it looks half as good as this upon completion.

Quick question, how do you shape the tubing seeing as it is rigid and not flexible? 

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, found out how

I used the Monsoon hardline kit which contains measuring kit, cutting kit, mandrels and heat gun. The kit is great but doesn't make the build any less of a long and intensive process. I've made a few mistakes but fortunately they're out of view when the sides are on.

Those tubing runs.. So clean..

Go for white LED's, they will accent the color you decide on for the water, rather than hiding it all.

 

White LED's accent builds, colored LED's hide builds.

I think the EK blocks look great in red, but generally the rest looks good under white, especially the mobo. I didn't have enough white strips so that's why I chucked in the red for now.
