[Build Log]-*Name Unknown*

[santa claus]

This is my first really hardcore custom build. Ive done builds before but this is my first time sleeving, first time watercooling, first time SLI, first time case modding...I am very happy with what is turning out to be. Once I get on water, I'm going to overclock my CPU, and try to push my videocards a little farther(right now they are at 1201Mhz, 3500Mhz). What I still need to do is get the rest of the watercooling stuff, and finish the floor of my case. and get a name for it. I will add more lighting at the end ot it all as needed.

Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Formula

Processor: Intel i5 4670k

Video card: 1-Zotac GTX 680

Liquid cooling stuff:(I still need some of this)

Here is a little bit of progression of the build(sorry for the crappy picture quility...right now only have my phone to take pictures)

 

            In the pictures there are Monsoon fittings, those were what I was going to use originally but then some Primochill revolver fittings and hard tubing came into the store not that long ago and I like the look a lot more!

That is some seriously thick string you used to sew the cables...

It looks better if you use thin thread, then you can barely see it. Like you can barely see it here:

I like the thicker string it is much easier and has seems to guide the wire better then fine thread...I tried to use thread orginally

These are a few pictures of the back side cable magenment. It's not the greatest, but I dont think it's too bad

Small late night update, finished my floor and went on and did a full carbon fiber interior, started to bend some tubing, still waitng for GPU blocks, and pump, but thats all.

 

P.S. The bending is much more difficult then I thought it would be.
