The 900D is one of my favorite cases, so much room to work with.

 

Are you planning on adding a second 1080 ti down the road because with two 360s on the GPU loop you have more than enough cooling capacity?

They seem very good actually! dubble O-rings in the bottom and one on top! And for 2,65 dollars per fitting they are really cheap! can´t complain about anthing!

[Krille21]

 

the  EK-CoolStream RAD XE (480) will soon be here! And some other parts will come in 12 days! so Im just waiting for parts to continue the build!

[Krille21]

I have been working on the mid plate and reservoir mounting plate for the chassi. the mid plate i finished today!

Took one if the rubber grommets that came with the chassi and out on the mid plate for the GPU cables! looks pretty good i think!

 

 

[Krille21]

The Asus Pg348q is in the mail and will look good next to the chassi when it´s done!

 

 

[Krille21]

Let´s hope I got enough PETG tubing! Since this is my first hardtube build it´s gonna take some practice at bending!

[Krille21]

And the build has begun!   I don't like the red radiator so im going to repaint that black. 

[Krille21]

Hi!

Now I have assembled the PC over the weekend! I had thursday and friday of from work! Ive been building for about 20 hours! Now im just waiting for some white LED strips ive ordered. and 16 gb of Corsair dominator platinum ROG edition! I have some Kingston 2133mhz ram in now just to start up the pc.

Here are some pictures!

 

Here is the basement with the pumps! 

 

The red radiator is now black! Looks much better!

 

tubes from the reservoirs down the floor done!

 

Tubes from GPU done!

[Krille21]

Drain port for the GPU loop at the lowest point! haha I forgot to put in the drain port for the CPU loop and I didnt want to tear everything out from the basement to do that so i put the port on the reservoir.. so i cant fully drain the cpu loop but most of it

 

 

Put flow meters in both loops just for peace of mind!

 

All tubing done!

[Krille21]

It was a really tight fit for the radiator!

 

[Krille21]

Im planning to redo the tube from the CPU to the reservoir, you can see that its not perfectly straight! 

 

 

And I plan to cable manage a little better

 

 

 

CPU loop drain!

[Krille21]

Im going to change the fluid to Pastel red. And that will come this coming week. and the monitor comes on monday! will take pictures of the whole setup then! 

I must say that for my first build in a case it looks pretty good! feel free to give me some tips to make it look better!

I have ordered some cable combs for the gpu cables so that they look a little better!

 

[Krille21]

The monitor has arrived!  its awesome!!

[Krille21]

 

cable management is on point!

[Krille21]

Got the new ram installed, and som Cable Combs for the GPU Cables! And daamn it looks good!

[Krille21]

Here´s a Ghost recon Wildlands bench in 3440x1440 , not overclocked!

[Krille21]

Here are some Pictures of the finished setup!

Looks really good, will look better when the second gpu is in, when you do add it I would use the cable grommet below the motherboard.

I think I would have used the lower pcie slot for the gpu to reduce the length of those cables. For a black build I always wanted to go with green and purple. I've done a red black, white and red x2 and now on blue and white.

 

looks really good though taking nothin away from it ?
