The Powersupply from Fractal

Test fitting some hardware and planing the loop.

Here are a few shots of the powersupply

 

[jojoharalds]

Test fitting some hardware and planing the loop,since i don´t want to do that when everything is painted since a few holes have to be drilled first.

Ram clearence is an issue we all know about.
And well it is happening hhere as well,
It is something to expect when trying to go all small on a computer build with watercooling.
But there are ways of fixing this ☺

Sure why not , Ill give you a follow.

Looking forward on how this build will pan out.

Pump looks splendid! OMG!

[jojoharalds]

Drain and fill port system in the making.

Keep in mind this is only a test fit 
The final loop will be done with other piping and all the fittings will be chrome.
