Man, what is it with water cooling companies making such honking looking cases?

 

Thank god they gave it to you, I might just like it when you're done.

"nothing special" that's a big o' lamp there that i can not find for the life of me.

Please try avoiding to quote images. Delete the images in the quote and replace them with -snip-. Its cuter that way and less bloated

The fans have been finished,brass inside with blades the colour of clotted blood, a red/black mix.......

The EK Vardars come apart so easily,so very,very handy!!!
If EK ever sell the bearing sets then these fans will live as long as the electronics allow,easily swappable sealed bearings inside.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully I have not unbalanced them..... :rolleyes:

So,the loop layout is done,just need to bolt everything in place.

A fully parallel loop,nice clean and efficient runs should keep this tidy inside. The tubing and res need to be airbrushed in a candy brass/gold colour along with the pump cover which will be a deep red like the tray.
I need to get a handful of E22 Ultraclear in the post Monday.......:wheee:
Then its sleeve time.......

 


I hate sleeving but it needs to be done!

A little update to keep things ticking over...

How about a shot of the finished front panel paintwork?

I carried the tray theme over to the front and back panels to give more detail to the otherwise featureless externals.

Paint is black metallic with a marble effect,finished with a deep red candy and clear coat.

That paint is sick, should make the case pop if it's just the front and back

To be honest B (and you know I'm always honest with you) I can't say I really like the colour on those blocks.

It just seems awfully bright when you've got that lovely dark blood spatter marble paint. I don't know if it's going to work together mate.

Hopefully I will be totally wrong but right now I'm just not sold.

Wait for the end result?

 

If it comes out like it is in my head then it should gel together nicely.

Loop cut and in,need to pull them all and bench polish the tubing,airbrush with a red candy finish and tweak a couple of the lines for perfect alignment before final fitting.
Nice and clean,simple and gives a perfect view of the hardware inside.Very happy with the layout!

And yes,I lost one of the o-rings for the 290x block,this is why the cover for the VRM bridge is off....

Now the perfectionist comes out in me,I cant stand hardlines that are not in line with points of reference,they have to be bang on! The rear tube from the GPU needs about 3mm lopped off the end where it meets the reservoir to bring it in line.

Sleeve is on its way too!

All in all a very clean loop indeed!
