That is a cool location for the controller. You can still see it even though it is inside the case. What does it control?

It's an Aquaero 6 XT so basicly everything, it can connect to; Pumps, fans (4 channel controller expandable to 10 channels), flowmeters and temp sensors, and it has rgb led output, external power output, a remote control and it's programmable. It's quite fancy :D

 

What you've done to this case is really impressive.

 

Looks amazing, one of the best OEM case mods I've seen.

Thank you both very much :)

 

Should have called it 420...

Progress is a bit slow lately because I didn't have as much modding time as I wanted and I was waiting for some of the parts I ordered to arrive. 

 

First up is the controller panel, it now fits below the midplates and I've made the second panel from 1mm aluminium sheet which will sit in front of the controller panel. In between the alu panels will be a 3mm plexi sheet. from the inside I'll put in some leds, so the edge of the plexi will glow.

The packages I've been waiting for contained the gpu blocks and some of the fittings I'll need for the loop. For the gpu's I chose the EK- FC R9 280X DCII Nickel Acetal blocks, with a pair of matching backplates.

The first batch of fittings

I love these new 90degree corners, finally a nice single fitting for 90degree hard tubes :)

Something that bothered me in one of my previous builds (Inverted) is the gpu. Because of the weight/gravity the pcb of the gpu gets bend over time, to prevent this I came up with this

I totally agree and I'll raise you, Imo it's one of the best cases ever, has a timeless design :)

Thanks Monty, I wish I could. Over here (The Netherlands) these cases are are hard to find in a good condition, so even getting one was quite a challenge :)

Thanks man :)

That it one awesome looking build.

My problem with the case is that it's sort of slanted, but otherwise a great design.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum
