Case
The case that I have chosen for this project is the black version of the hex gear r40 with a reversed layout, in this project the frame will remain silver. I have bought new plexiglas to the front and back which is purple. 
To this project I have also ordered a custom made akrylic windowpanel with ”Noxxis” engraved on it which is the name of the project.
The case will also be equipped with UV-leds that will make the custom sleeving from Icemodz ”pop” since the color I’ve chosen on the sleeving is green and reacting to UV light.

Hardware 
At the moment I have a Mitx motherboard with a intel i7 4770k (1150), but I have been thinking of a new processor and motherboard with the socket 2011-3.
I have been looking for a new graphic card but decided to keep my GTX 970 since it is out of my budget to buy a new one like the gtx 980ti.
To get this build nice and tidy I’ve bought green UV reactive cablecombs for the sleevecables.

Cooling
For this project I have decided to go with custom waterloop from EK waterblocks. All the tubes will be in PETG hardline, they will be bent using a heatgun. The reason for this is because I want it clean, without unnecessary 90 degree fittings.
Both CPU and GPU will have blocks and the system will have two radiators, one 360 mm and one 240 mm with thickness 45 mm.
The color of the water in the loop will be pastel purple to match the color of the plexiglas on the case. 


Radiator #1: Alphacool NeXXos XT45 Full Copper 360 mm
Radiator #2: Alphacool NeXXos XT45 Full Copper 240 mm
Reservoar: X-RES
Pump: EK-XRES 140 revo with d5 pump and pwm
CPU Vattenblock: EK-Supremacy EVO nickel
GPU Vatteblock: EK-FC 970 GTX Strix
GPU Backplate: Strix Backplate Black
Fittings: EK HDC fitting green
Vätska: transparent or purple 

Dreamhack Summer 2016! (swedens biggest LAN event)
I want this project done before DH summer(18/06-2016) since it will be my first visit there and its giving me the pefect opportunity to show other people who have the same interest/hobby as me and hear their thoughts about it. 
I wanted to participate in a modding contest but I got my idea about this project too late. I have in mind to participate in the future.

I also want to say that my english wont be perfekt all the time since im swedish and my english arnt all the time so good! hope u will understand me anyway!

Had some minor setbacks, i need to buy some 90 degre fittings for the draining and for the gpu.. since im using 16/12 tubing i cant make so thight bends.. but i think it looks ok for the first time doing petg/akrylic loop :)

next update will be in a few days since i have to wait for the fittings.. the cpu still hasnt been deliverd so hoping it will come sooooon! the custom engraved sidewindow has come atleast but i wont pack it up untill the last day of the build :) still have alot to do, paint the radiators and doing the rest of the loop and some other stuff!

Hope u like the progress ^^

Got some stuff from hexgear the other day :) custom engraved plexi for the window panel, I love it <3 can't wait to get going with the build and complete it! Hope I will get the cpu and the rest of the watercooling soon, my friend sponserd me with one more gtx 970 strix so have to save some money for waterblock and new rad since it will be tight with a 45mm rad.
