Edit: 

 

Few hours later, sidepanel was coated with black spray paint, and wet-sanded with P2000 paper.

 

Paint is in 60% mirror finish stage.

 

[SuperShires]

Because you have skills, tools and money to do this sort of thing

[HellaflushMcSwaggins]

Oh my goodness

[perestrojka]

That is it for now, i still need to finish it up, as there is plenty of work left ( including error corrections, unfortunately )

I will obtain better camera for upcoming pics  I promise

[perestrojka]

Additional shots taken, i temporarely installed one LED white strip out of two, to see how this will look

 

 

EK logo is painted, so reservoir holders aren't so dull and completely black

 

 

Icemodz 24pin cable holder ( one of the plexy bits broke, because in few sleeves there are 2 wires going to the MBO connector )

 

 

These Monsoon fittings are absolutely gorgeus

[perestrojka]

Haha cheekei breekei 

@LukaP - yeah, tools are essential  I will contact Dave @ Laser Hive, to see if he can laser cut that radiator holder for me, as there are some imperfections in my creation, CNCs are still more precise than human hand

well i have access to a CNC as well as a bendpress, i just dont have access to some normal tools like a tap drill and a rotary saw here need to hop over to my dads workshop and borrow it. as well as find a shop that will powdercoat the parts afterwards.

welcome to the club, but remember that drills and a dremel are the main requirements for modding.

So, Me again

After a while i started my work with Arduino Nano board, i will develop my own algorithm for more advanced fan control ( environmentally adaptive control )



Also i got my memory updated with Corsair Vengeance Pro 2 x 8GB 2400MHz modules.




Aaaaand small teaser for upcoming build, got some of the parts
