Update:

Here you can see how the fans and front rad look installed. You can also see I went for a simple approach to the fan centers - just black, no labeling.

You can also see the I/O shroud that I modified and painted - I cut off the screw mounting tabs completely that utilize the motherboard screws so I could a) position it flush to the I/O plate (which I also painted the edges black) - and B) I can position it so it does not bump into the backplate of the GPU.

You can also see the reservoir position as well as get a clue to some of the tube routing.

my eyes... they're dying from too much of this sexiness.

I have a Canon 70D

How do these "Sponsored" custom builds work exactly? Is most of everything in this build coming out of your pocket, or are the custom parts like the case "free" since you are essentially advertising the sponsors on the forums?

Very cool to see someone building an ITX watercooled PC!!

Yea, I was trying to do that but it kept just erasing the quote itself so I just left it on

Thanks guys!

[Eddprzz]

Man I fuckin love the case I wanna go Matx jus so I can get a case like that

Sorry for the lack of progress the last week, I've been swamped at work. Also very much mirroring the timeline of the Titanfall build I'm going to have to have surgery again towards the end here. On November 4th of all dates... I'm going to attempt to get the build finished within the next 10 days and finish the video and final photos while recovering from surgery

Update!

The cables arrived from sponsor Ensourced Custom Sleeved Cables. As previously mentioned I went for a very neutral cable color design consisting only of Graphite Paracord with Ensourced's own homemade 3d printed wire wraps in gray. He includes these installed when you order cables from him and you can specify any color combo. He tossed in a couple of random ones to give you guys an example that you can see at the end of this short photo-shoot.

He really does stellar work and I can't recommend enough. I mean, just look at the wire wrap on the 24pin where he designed the wraps to fill in the wire space - amazing work.

Every part of this build, from even a little screw to a GPU is amazing. Just such a brilliant build. Amazing. 

[roelversteeg]

wow.. am i in heaven?

[jnno]

Man the stuff people do is mind blowing, just amazing

[Prokart2000]

Damn, sounds good.

 

How do you even get sponsors though?

+1 how do you get them?

[GroovyGI]

Awesome cables.

[d33g33]

3D printed cable management, brilliant...

Well I think i just changed my internal definition of custom!

There's stock, modded, and custom cases. A lot of people call modded cases custom cases.

This post is off topic but I had to give a shout out to the new Parvum F1.0 fans. I'm sure most of you have seen them but here are the pics I took of them. They are seriously fantastic, the OEM is Alpenfohn. One thing that pictures don't show is that the frame is actually a stiff rubber, not hard plastic - the fit and feel is top grade.

Included in the box is: 1x Cable 4-pin to 3-pin (no PWM), 1x Adapter 4-pin PWM-to-7-volt Molex, 1x Adapter 4-pin PWM-to-5-volt Molex,4x Gummipins for decoupled housing mounting.

While I wont be using them in this build I will be using them in my next build.

They are available now at Performance PC's:

These are the best looking white fans I have ever seen

[MourningSouls]

Hmm, not bad looking. No static pressure rating though.

 

No Canadian retailer though. I don't like importing things.

I kinda went dark there for the day, been working on a major part of the build which is... the loop, and I got the loop totally planned today. I also got the pass-throughs drilled and I've started the case reassembly.

Next actual log updates will be pics of the cables installed (since they need to go in first), a feature on the Darkside lighting, and then the loop installed. After those 3 updates the following update will be the traditional video unveil of the build complete.... The finish line is near my friends...

Here are some not-so-spectacular quick pics I took while reassembling the case that gives you a clear Idea of the pass-through locations...

[Jameswalt1]

Happy Halloween, and thanks to all of my forum friends for following this build - for you I made this epic pumpkin!

[Jameswalt1]

Everybody enjoying the game?

I'm loving it, best COD in years... really digging the Momentum game type. War was always my favorite game mode of all time, many a memory in WAW and it's new reincarnated sibling is a blast and a half

Trying to get my fill in before surgery tomorrow morning, then I'll be finishing this build this week while recovering:

1. Darkside lighting feature

2. Loop and cable update

3. Video reveal of finished build

4. Final photos

All by next Sunday.
