First of all, let me  let me introduce myself, my name is Aleksandar Prokic and im from Serbia/Belgrade, and as most of you here on forum i am the typical PC  enthusiast dude,  engough about me, let`s get to the point.

 

Here we are, after a long time I decided to finally start with my mod.

The basic idea has not changed much since my original plan but the concept was jumping back and forth,

from idea of a hanging shelves to old fashioned radio etc.  

Of course, money has always played a major role in my decision, so i thought that must be something that is in my sphere of possibilities.  

Unfortunately I can't show you the drawing because my lack of experience in programs suitable for that purposes, I tried but was not happy with quality of project.  

Anyway, my main plan is to pack everything together in cooler master test bench combined with a plexiglass, while the radiator, reservoir and pump will be nailed on the wall.  

The idea is still in my head and I'm sure it will be clearer to you as soon as it progressed.  

 

For now I'm using the following with possible changes :

 

MB  : Asus Rampage IV Extreme 2011

CPU  :  Intel I7 3820 

GPU  : GTX 970 (Water Cooled with Alphacool NexXxoS GPX M01 SPONSORED BY ALPHACOOL)

Cooler  : Phobya 360lt (Тhanks to my good friend Micri)

RAM  : HyperX Savage SPONSORED BY HyperX (Water cooled with Phobya Phobya RAM-Cooler U-Cool  SPONSORED BY AQUATUNING)

SSD : HyperX Savage SPONSORED BY HyperX

PSU  : Coolermaster M2 Silent 850

Case: Coolermaster Test bench V1

Light  : NXZT Red sleeved led

 

I would like now on bare beginning to mention that this is going to be slow progress mode because the time and money will make conditions to me and my project.  

The deadline I've set to myself is first part of August.  

 

Now, I'd like to show you the direction.  

Red color will be dominated with   the symbol of axe (of course)

The plan is to close front part of bench with matte black plexi glass as in the middle part of bench (plexiglass) will stand red hatchet which will be with red LED.  

I've ordered   dark red paracord for sleeving power and it will be here in a few days, and plan is to do a sleeve for this semi modular Coolermaster Silent M2 850th

 

 

 

And for the last, let me show you some pictures:

Wall hanging done! 

My wall now have four more holes with screws for reservoir and radiator. I'm still waiting water blocks for RAM and GPU in order to install tubes.

For now I'm satisfied how everything turned out as well with my cleaning skills after dirty work was done

I also put some rubber piece under the radiator to avoid wall damage, with possibility for interspace adjustment.

Next week is reserved for cutting and engraving plexiglass.

Fans afther sleev :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night I got fans, today I did a pump , as you can see I did not like the color of connectors , so I decided to replace all of them.

Today I ordered 3 more so that I could replace those on ventilators.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my first 24pin Sleeve is finished.

At the beginning I was a bit problematic , but later when I went settled down very easily. 

This weekend I plan to go on and finish the sleeving . Here are a few photos .

And the 24pin for now :

@Proka - Par saveta Koristi spojlere da sakrijes te velike slike. I par pitanja Koliko si pukao na ovo (u dinarima) i je l' si stvarno nazvao svoju macku Behemoth? Posto sam bas premisljao da je to kul ime za kucnog ljubimca (pogotovo nekog psa krupnije rase)

[CydiaDash]

[Maheshvara]

@Proka - Pa to i nije mnogo skupo. Gde si kupio komponente? To bi trebalo da kosta dosta vise, ipak je samo 970 oko 40+k RSD...

[Proka]

@masheshvara : Preko prijatelja, 970 me je ispala 325e.

There was little fear that they will not fit, because it is designed for model ZT-90101-10P and I havе ZT-90105-10P, similar but not the same pcb, of course a perfect fit.

I'll hang pictures of the PCB ' to help someone in the future.

And yea, i have new photocover

 

I'll let the pictures to speak, sincerely block is a nice fit with the Phobya designe,
