Watercooled Silverstone FT02 Nvidia theme build

Finished the main case, almost.

 

So it was about time to test fit primary components.

I only tested with one graphics card, the other one i am using in my secondary rig until i am ready to put a water block on it.

I got 2 EVGA Power adapters that i filled out with green nail polish to match the build.

Then i used a laser to mark where i need to drill holes for the 1/4 Pass-trough adapters.

I also got the holes for the cables made, this was a real bitch, i forgot to have them machined so i had to drill them out and used a file to get the holes just right.

I also finished the top cover and fitted the backplate (witch is going to hold the magnetic dust filter)

I initially designed the dust filter to fit under the radiator tray but my experience tells me this is going to create noise, this way i am using a larger surface area, so i am thinking less noise and less resistance.

Next up is hardware installation and tempered glass.

I still need a water block for my second GPU and i should have it sometime next week!

 

I know my table looks weird, but it was either a little short or so expensive i would have to wait on ordering the remaining GPU block and fittings, needless to say the table lost :D

So i got the dust filter installed, the magnetic ones are a breeze to work with.

The idea on the rear of the inside of the case was to use soft tubing, but space was too tight so i had to use hard line on all connections except those that goes down to the radiator

All those fitting are a nightmare, not sure if i have enough, hopefully i do, i really want this without bends but there might have to be bends on the lines going to and from the CPU
