Wow guys! With my entire heart, I thank you guys for the kind comments. This is just adding more fuel to the modding fire ;)

Update

SO, I am going to reward you with a design update of sorts :D Today's work day has been spent on designing a GPU backplate. I am really happy with this design so far! I will be able to implement my design on the graphic card, and be able to cover over that green logo which will clash with the red lighting. Here, take a look:

This one of the best custom computers I've ever seen. The custom fittings and lighting remind me of lava flows and look just right. It's a smaller computer as well which is a bonus.

Nice work. ROG theme is a bit boring but the work is really nicely executed :)

I just love the work you've done. For inspiration about graphic card cover/backplate, I'll give you this photo from polish forum >worklog<

So the backplate was a hit then! :) And that you for the link spec. That guys build was nothing short of amazing! I will try and get some work done on the plate tomorrow, and see how it turns out. I do not have any m3-6mm screws laying around to do a test fit right away, so I might have to make a trip down to the hardware store and pick some up. But I am wondering, will I need rubber spacers between the PCB and the alu plate? I am asking this as every single backplate that I have looked at does not require them. Any help would be appreciated!

you have to be really careful.  Yes, you need some spacers and some thermal pads where the cover will touch the PCB.  The last thing you want is to short out your video card due to the cover touching.  I take it your not watercooling the vid card then?  I would suggest that you do.

Thank you for the advice guys. I will be investing in some plastic spacers to raise the aluminium plate up from the PCB. So, that said, I have an..

Hey everyone!

I have the loop filled, and it is currently bleeding. I am extremely happy with the end result!

Thank you to everyone :D

 

To give you all inspiration, this is my first modded PC, and first water cooling loop. I have done all work by hand, on my kitchen table, in my 2 room apartment, back then with my wife heavily pregnant, and now with a newborn baby! Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, and carefully plan your next project!! :)

 

The leak test went perfectly, as I left the pump running all night. Now to just finish off this GPU backplate... ;)

Looking great as always Metallic!  I love the work you did on the custom lighting.  I'm thinking about doing something similar to cover my psu and 5.25" bays using aluminum and smoke acrylic.

You should. Creating my unique lighting is one of the best things I could have done to personalize my computer :)

Update

The GPU backplate has been cut, filed, and sanded. Next thing to do is to attach some white plexiglass and LED's to the plate, modify the LED RGB cable to take a 4 pin fan connection, then I can easily connect and disconnect the GPU's LED cable if I need to remove my graphic card from the PC.

So, without further delay, here come some pictures. I do apologize for the cell phone quality, I am doing this at work after all ;)

Hey spec, it's easy. I am using just 240grit wet/dry sandpaper and sanding in just one direction. I had a few dents in my alu piece so sanding took 2 hours :D

 

i'll say... hours and hours of sanding with diferent grits!

 

looks amazing!

Cheers Axis!! :)

WOW thank you fuzz!! What a compliment :D I hope you stick around for the next updates.

 

 

A little mini update guys, I had made a miscalculation on how far out the plate has to be from the shroud to be able to hide both LED's and plexiglass. I will be remaking another plate today... :)

Sorry to hear about the setback, but I know it'll be worth the extra work when it's finished.  I love the design!
