[Build Log] Batgirl

very, very good job, although i don't like purple things but that's just a problem of mine. It suits very well for the purpose! do you put purple fluid in it?

[JRS2K]

Awesome looking build!

 

Quick question, on you watercooling loop, you're pulling coolant from the bottom of the res to the graphics card first, correct?

 

Sorry, I'm a total noob at custom watercooling...

This build is for my wife, purple is her favorite color... I'm more of a Red or Teal kind of guy personally.

Yeah, the flow of the liquid will be  GPU, CPU, Top rad, Front Rad, Res, Pump. The loop order doesn't have a huge impact unless you're running quad SLI or something super crazy and out of the norm. Head pressure and rad space will even everything out within a degree or 2.

Awesome!

Can't wait to see this finished!

I'm back from vacation! Just 2 pictures today. 

 

First up we got the window cut. 

 

 

Getting ready to fill the loop, ignore the white extension, i'm waiting for the final extension to come in. 

 

[Necrodead]

Is that laser etched on glass or acrylic? Lookin good!

It's on acrylic. 

 

I finished the real 24 pin extension. The cable management on the back isn't the greatest, but it's the best I could manage with a non modular power supply. 

 

 

Here's the loop filled and bled... The yellow Pops like crazy!. 

 

 

Purple lights to fit the theme, I'm using an RGB LED strip that the green burnt out on. The case has a nice even glow. 

 

 

Finally the window is in the side panel... The logo glows surprisingly well considering the glass isn't edge lit. 

 

 

Sadly one of my memory sticks died, so I'm waiting on an RMA, but I can still install windows and overclock the system with the one working dimm. When the new memory comes in I'll do the final glamour shots.

[diluzio91]

The memory came back from RMA!! So here's the final round of Pictures for this build.

Let me know what you think! (PS, My wife loves it!!)

[Necrodead]

Wow looks amazing! Big fan of that carbon fiber.

 

Could I trouble you for more pictures of that bend thats going into the side of the pump next to the drain? (Like a side view?) I'm trying to see how close I can make a bend to the fitting and that looks like one of the best examples I have seen.

You need about 2 cm of straight pipe to get the fitting to play nice

So.. What would be best to paint the mesh on the front and top panels? Spray paint? Great log also! Looks amazing. Only,part,that gets me is the thing over the PSU. Otherwise looks amazing!

[Nena Trinity]

So preety!

[OddsCrazyStuff]

Nice build, but a bit of a shame that you made the logo on the backwall and then covered it with tubing.

Specially since verything else is spot on.

Local shop has a laser cutter, find image, convert to vector, email and pay them $10 bucks for their time.

that's for the lazer etch but how about the panel itself?

Hardware store. I buy it in about a 4 foot by 5 foot sheet and cut it off as needed.
