ART, I SAY!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Time to get some tubing going on this build. As per usual I am using fittings at the bends instead of bending the acrylic. A few has asked me why this is, and the simple answer is that I just like the looks of it better than bent tubing. Might change in the future, who knows:D

 

 

First of all, I had to mod the radiator so that I could get one of the fittings futher "up" in the case. The reason for this was so that I could make as easy a tubing route as possible.

 

 

These are the two tubes that goes to, and from the radiator in the top.

 

 

And here it is mounted. I used an extender fitting for the rear port, which is why I had to mod the radiator, as the shroud would not allow for this to clear.

 

 

Both pumps done! Luckily all 4 of the tubes going to and from the pumps was the same for both pumps, so I only had to find the correct length once, and then just make two of each tube.

 

 

Another angle. These tubes JUST steer clear of the cables for the GPU's'

 

 

Cpu loop done. This was one of the more complicated runs, and I actually thought about reversing the in and outlet of the waterblock as that would have fittet so much better, but I know someone would have spottet it:D

 

 

Another angle.

 

 

It is realy nice to be able to take apart the case bit by bit when working with stuff like this. Especially when you have fittings in the utmost outer parts of the case, such as the two visible in this picture, going to the GPU's

 

 

Another shot of the CPU runs.

 

 

This is how the tubes goes into the GPU's. Lots and lots of bends! But the pumps where more than able to handle it.

 

 

This was a quite tight run, as the back panel had to fit in place as well.

 

I will put the final pictures up soon, and then call this worklog a wrap! And just in time to get started on a few more logs
