Done ! : D.. maybe now people understand  

[Chiobe]

Done ! : D.. maybe now people understand

Maybe put "tribute build" in the titel as well, so there is no question about what you are doing?

[DeuS1]

finally im not sick anymore ! will continue modding tomorrow and hopefully get some pics up of the waterblocks installed

I'm looking forward to it.

Installing the waterblocks

 

Here's the waterblock installing, as you might notice i did not install the monarch x4 block on the memory yet, i will do this in a later post, when i mount the blocked mobo into the case pics will follow!

 

 

 

Theese polished blocks just look so amazing ! cant wait to see it all with liquid in it ! <3

You might notice that after i blocked the pump and put on the nickel housing, I just HAD to sleeve those cables,

i am NOT a fan of the original black,blue and yellow cables So i took my time and sleeved them in the colors i will be using in the build later on.

That GPU block looks amazing...  :wub:

[DeuS1]

Indeed it does ! <3 : D.. just wait till you see it with liquid !!

[Chiobe]

I just realiced. Even you got access to make the case, why didnt you make a custom reservoir holder as well?

That way so could you have made the reservoir look like a box of monster, which would have been epic.

Actually thought of that at the beginning, that i would have made a acrylic custom reservoir for the case instead of the standards from ekwb,

but i think allready there's so much happening looks wise in the case, that it would just be totally overkill.

dont want peoples brains to blow up because of too much awesomeness at the same time .. 

 

Was thinking about using the redharbinger reservoir sleeve on a 250 res tho, but its just going to be too big in this case, so decided to use the 150 res instead.

and yeh, lets see what i come up with

A box of monster got the same radius as the tube reservoir, so you can just cut of the bottom and top of one and see if you can put that outside the reservoir.

It might not look as good as a custom one, but at least its 1 step up.

[DeuS1]

ooh thats what you mean .. Well i also tried that out, but gave up as it was really hard to get it perfect.. 

i cut top and buttom off the blue monster energy drink that this is tributed to, and tried to cut out the logo and everything, but soooo hard : d.. 

 

but maybe i have up too easy

No, I meant to make a proper one, but that a box might be a nice compromice.

If the box is to short, so can you just use a 2nd one or make it seems like the liquid is flowing into it (maybe with a few leds).

 

Another soloution, is to paint or in an other way, decorate the reservoir with the logo.

[DeuS1]

yeh you are right will see what i come up with once i get to that part of the build

Test Mounting of the Waterblocks, and modding the flipped GPU.

 

Allright, got alot of work done last few days. Test mounted the blocks to see how it looked best,

then flipped the gpu, bend some acrylic sheets to act like supporters for the gpu, and added some velcro tape to hold it in place.

after that, it was time to figure out how i wanted the cut in the case and pci slot cover to be.

Then after the cut i saw i cut too big of a hole, but still its okay

I also was thinking alot about the pump placement, if i wanted it next to the 120mm rad, mounted in the back at the mobo tray, or where to put it for the best looks.. 

Then i thought maybe i could make another acrylic piece bended in the angle of the GPU, so that the Pump actually is tilted in same angle as the GPu, and i must say it's got the look i was hoping for ..

Also cut out a hole for the LCD temperature display.. 

But still awaiting the final piece from Parvum, so maybe i will change it later or redo it, 

but for now it works out great i think

I also drilled holes for the reservoir mount, and shot a few pics with everything in its place, and also with the window on to see how it looked

 

 

 

 

 

So what do you think guys ? .. next up will probably be installing fittings and tubing and figuring out the loop

[DeuS1]

Just had to try this since its a monster blue energy inspired build

 

 So i just finished my Moster Blue Energy Drink, and decided maybe i should cut it and try to fit it over the reservoir, as a reservoir 

 

sleeve .. And i have to say, i actually think it looks kindda awesome.. Maybe i should try do mod it a bit, and see if i can cut out the logo and 

 

make the "M" light up with the UV blue liquid in the res ? 

 

 

So what do you think guys ? ..worth doing, or just looks to lame ? .. Keep in mind i have monster logo on case also, and that this build is a monster 

 

tribute build to the blue energy drink that i love so much

 

[Chiobe]

So what do you think guys ? ..worth doing, or just looks to lame ?

It looks good, but you might want to find a new box, as this one looks crushed in the top.

And yeah, ether make the logo light up or cut out the logo and attach that to it (so only the logo is on it).

yep it is crushed in the top, just cut it out quick and added some black tape, just to see how it could look .. 

NOT gonna use this one obviously, was just a test

[DeuS1]

Still awaiting that last piece from parvum, should arrive here soon ! .. 

i think i will wait with the tubing untill its here, and see how i can implement it

[DeuS1]

yaay final piece for the build has been sent and should be here by the weekend !  

and then alot more updates for you guys !

 

the build also got nominated for Mod of the month on bit-tech forums ! please vote

Like the GPU mounting. Have forever been frustrated by the way GPUs are conventionally mounted, hiding all the goodies so I did something similar with mine.

Yeh excately ! .. have no understanding at all about why they dont "from fabric" flip the pcb so the fans are up : D

but yes off cause its because something with dust staying on the pcb and stuff.. 

but still ! .. 

[DeuS1]

UPDATE: The fans and the rest of the sleeving just arrived <3<3 ..

Will take images of it monday where i will also try to cut out the monster energy drink can, and see if i can make it beautiful as reservoir sleeve,

or if i have to try something else  

[DeuS1]

The Fans, Silverstone AP121 Uv Blue Blades

 

So the new fans just came in ! The Silverstone AP121 with Uv Blue Blades <3 ..

Originally i was going for the other version with blue led and transparent blades, and silver housing. But after trying them out i  disliked it 

 

alot.. NOT the fans themselves, but only the way it fit my color theeme.. So obviously i had to get the black housing ones with blue blades instead, 

 

and i am pretty sure it will look sweet with uv blue blades along with the uv blue liquid from ekwb  

 

Also i tried to mount them on the EK Radiators, as a temporarily solution.. just to see how it looks.. 

Will take them off again later when i re-sleeve the wires from them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love how it looks.. Tho i know i HAVE to re-sleeve the fan wires, looks okay from stock, but thats just not good enough for me  

Pictures of all sleeving progress will follow very soon guys !

[DeuS1]

Figuring out the Loop

 

Okay, so this Update is all about the Loop. I took all my beloved fittings from EKWB and CoolerKit, and just went crazy with them

 

 

At first i was going to use minimal amount of fittings and instead do alot more of Bending the tubing, But these fittings just look so awesome, that i 

 

decided to use as many of them as i could instead hehe ..

 

I tried many different loop ideas, and after an hours work i am pretty sure that this one is how i think it looks the best, and cleanest  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am pretty happy with how this could turn out!... 

Next up is probably tubing it, and making reservoir cover out of something.

and then alot of sleeving later ! 

Hope you like it !!

Reservoir Vinyl Sleeve

 

Allright, so i was going back and forward in my head with ideas on how to make the reservoir sleeve.

I tried to cut out the Monster logo from the Blue energy can, and seriously i tried like 6 times and just couldnt get it to be pretty enough!

Then i was thinking about some other options, first one was to cut out the logo in a alu tube, but my dremel was tired of living and decided to die

Next was to find some Plastic tube, but couldnt fint it in the right thickness, so had to figure out something else.

Thats when i came up with using some of my Matt Black Vinyl Sticker, and cutting the logo into the vinyl and then just stick it on the res.

Actually i'm quite happy with the result, the matt black vinyl sticker thing actually matches the case acrylic to perfection.

 

So anyways, here's some pics of the progress of the making.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you like it, i threw some light in it to give you a better idea of how it's going to look.

Obviously a little different once the UV Blue liquid fills the reservoir, but i think it's going to look awesome,

and fit the Monster Energy Lo-Carb build theme pretty good..

And YES i see there are some air bubbles that i have to get fixed, but that will be done later:)
