This first work was a mess for me, the material was all acrylic plastic and the vinyl was pretty bad.

But I wantted to update the build and try to work with better materials and slowly, Then, I get my liquid loop done.

 A VRAM from my 780ti crashed, and they didn't have a new one were I bought it and for a little more money they get me a new 980. I get the new GPU and wait for the new block for taking some photos.

I bought the GPU block and a blackplate, and a local shop give me a new liquid which they made. 

After that I made a sleeving work ussing teleios and bought a D5 pump with top. 

Then I painted the pci grids.

Changing the reservoir and pump.

I mounted a new triple radiator on the front of the case.

I made a bay for the SSDs.

Mounting the triple radiator.

Two loops+ mayhems pastel.

I wanted to have to different loops, one for the CPU and the other for the GPU, because I needed more presure form the pump for having two differents pressures in each radiator.

Cleaning and installing.

I had to do a new bracket for the new block.

Case extension and updates.

It was like this until I finished the extension but I thought to take out the fornt of the case and the top part and flip the mother board and all the stuff.

Front.

This would be the fornt of the case and I will cut it by cnc, is methacrylate.

would be the top part of the case, also cutted by cnc and is made from steel.

I'm waitting for a budget of the cut and then I will start to do a cover for the mother board. After that I want to realign the blocks and radiators. The last part is to flip the interior of the case.

SO MANY PICTURES


lso. what was your idea for the pc ? you saw the sli finger covers and decided to make the rest of the pc match ?

[Chris_R.]

DANG SO MANY PICTURES

 

2 Suggestions for next time.

1. Bigger case, that case seems small for all that liquid cooling tubing. Looks crowded..especially the cable managment down toward the bottom right.

2. Use colored tubing with clear liquid. That way you never have to deal with dies and tubing dis-coloration or browning as we can already see in some of the pics.

 

Other than those two tings nice mod

The idea to add the extension to the case was to not have everything so tight and apart for comfort to have deposits as well .

I'm thinking of putting rigid tubes , because I like the transparent tubes and you can see the color

Update 02/11/2015

After sanding the expansion

 

I did the first coat of paint

The result was nice, and then I started to riveting it

Then I putted the "legs" of the case. And the order from ek arrived, I buyed PETG rigid tubbing, blue fittings and a new radiator.

 

For putting the fans in the new top part of the case I had to cut the new holes for it

I engaged the extension to the case and sanded it for doing the first try of painting. I covered the PSU hole and a part of the front

Update 27/01/16
Hi, in this last 2-3 months I had some problems with the cnc cuts,a friend tried to cut it with his cnc, but the aluminion was to hard and he break the cutting top, we wasted 3 weeks trying to fix that.
Then I started looking for a profesional company and I found had some trouble with them, the day i asked for a price they told me one amount, the next day that amount was increased but I accepted that offer. A week after that they didn't call me, I phoned them and they asked me to send again wat I wanted. And a week later, they gived up. After that I didn't keep in contact with that company.
The I found an other company, they offer me some aluminium and the cuts for less than the 60%, but the shipping was bad and it last 2 weeks. I'm sorry for not posting anythink in this last 3 months, I had a lot of work too.

Sandpapering and painting
I figured out a little ramp on the extension, I disassembled and sanded it.
Also I taked appart the full case for sandpapering and painting it.

I finally finished sanding all the pieces, I'm measuring some parts for asking for an aluminium cut for the hole of the power supply and the front part, also I'm thinking of panting the black part with baked paint and to the interior parts with pearly blue.

Update 21/03/16
I'm preparing the extension, at first I didn't want to use nails on the grids  but I finally putted it for confort, when I take it apart the grids or remove something from the case. I've made a small hole for pass trough the wires, it has to be sanded because, it is thick, I couldn't do it with the dremel and I finished using the radial cutting. I putted washers in the visible part for trying not to damage the blue washers.

Okay, first off, did I just see you cleaning a CPU block with KETCHUP??? That's different, why did you use that? Second, I think this is kinda in the wrong section, @W-L?? Getting back on track, this is a pretty damn cool build. I really like your SSD bays you made from carbon fiber? Awesome!

[P4LL3R]

As far as I remember ketchup has some antioxidating stuff inside, so it´s not that stupid. But it looks funny

[samufiscal]

 

First I use ketchup because it is an antioxidant and is better than using vinegar or tomato. Use angles in the bays and wrap U vinyl carbon fiber . and this place look bad post . but I find no way that some moderator can move me the post .
