Was such a shame to have to sell it - I absolutely loved building it, might have to build another one in the future.

The only reason I let it go was so something even better can take it's place, so I've got my work cut out for me now! :D

No problem with mine, I don't get what all the fuss with over them.

It's been a busy few days and I've got a lot done! I'm still in the process of cutting, crimping, and sleeving my cables so those photos will have to wait until I'm finished, but here's some of the other things I've been working on..


 


Everything is now blocked up!


Uknw2bJ.jpg


 


Kinda annoying as I can't use my PC until my project is finished now.. but it's all starting to take shape.


 


Still in love with my MIPs Iceforce CPU block: best looking block out there and such a shame they aren't made any more. :(

Eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed the Rampage Black edition I/O cover - kindly donated by who ever I fitted a waterblock for lol.


 


Both cards are now blocked up and look soooooo sleek, nothing but black and silver. The SLi bridge needs some work though - gonna have to remove that white text.

SSDs are gonna take pride of place at the front of the build - though they will be covered by the aluminium shell - I actually keep forgetting that's part of the build as it's been hidden away in storage with the glass sides since I started this build!

You may have noticed that the front I/O has gone…


djycpJD.jpg


 


Well, most of it has anyway. I'm just keeping the power switch and the front LED for the In-Win logo at the front.


xBxsmeA.jpg


One or 2 USB ports on the front would have been useful, but the cables would have been a nightmare. So I'll have to make do without.


 


A few posts ago I mentioned the rads needed lifting up slightly to support the graphics cards rather than push them down.. Well I found this handy little contraption today that I'd completely forgotten about. The original design of the case allows you to remove the fan frame to attach the fan, and then fit it to the case by a single thumb screw - pretty handy!


HLqumxB.jpg


 


So with some metal I scavenged from a 900D, I made a bracket to mount my radiator stack to the fan mount to easily fix the rads in place.


fLaQyER.jpg


 


Still a little rough around the edges, but I'll fix it up once everything else is sorted.

That's it for today! 


Stay tuned for some sleeved cables and some sexy matte black fittings!

Why haven't I seen this yet????? Looks boss.  Only thing I'm not to sure about is that SLI bridge, but I guess you can't really get any that look awesome.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Completely agree, I'm gonna try cutting the bridge in half and removing the centre connector and white writing to leave a plain black bridge so it's more stealthy.

Aye, it's a very nice block indeed IMO, real shame MIPS went under, they had some

very nice stuff (I also very much like my SR-2 M/B blocks). I think @B NEGATIVE

also has a weak spot for them IIRC.

XtreamSUPERKING has a couple of photos on his profile. Not a common case at all though. :)

On to the next little update - I should warn about the fitting porn you're about to witness..

d5REzjD.jpg

:D

 

Here's a better look at what's going on:

TTEsZhU.jpg

So from the reservoir it goes: male-to-male (nipple) -> 45° double rotary ->10mm extension -> 45° single rotary -> 90° single rotary -> pump > 90° single rotary > 90° single rotary.

 

And on the other side:

v9BN1gN.jpg

Coming back to the res we have: 90° single rotary -> 10mm extension -> 90° single rotary -> 10mm extension -> 10mm extension -> reservoir.

 

I've just got the 24pin cable to cut/crimp/sleeve left to do now - been putting it off as long as possible lol - and then some waxed thread to sew the cables together.

 

After that there's a couple more cuts to be done to the case for cables and tubing, and then as soon as my multi-link fittings arrive I'll be able to get this beauty finished. :D

This case will be so front heavy once the rads fill up.

It's already stupidly front heavy with the rads empty lol.

A little sneak peak on what's to come:


 


I've been busy sleeving while working on my project, and originally planned on using 'cable combs' to keep the cables nice and straight. I ordered a bunch of them in all different sizes, only to find that they are way too spaced out and look pretty crap imo. So I decided to lace/sew my cables instead, and while I'm not exactly brilliant at it, it's passable - and looks a whole lot better than before.

I originally tried to keep the 6pin and 8pin separate, but it's far easier to sew them together when there's more cables.


 


EjD4oYm.jpg


 


Not sure about how they curve off to the side… might have to redo them so they fold backwards instead.


 


egkYBrx.jpg


 


That's it for today, I don't really have much time to work on this in the week but I should be able to make some progress tomorrow. Stay tuned. :)

I love that cable lacing! I actually love all cable lacing, but yours is some of the better that I have seen.

Ever since I saw the In-Win 904 I knew I had to water cool it. The aluminium shell and glass sides make it the nicest looking PC case I've ever seen, and the complete lack of any air flow makes it quite a project.

I'm still not entirely sure how I'll be watercooling it, but I do have some ideas floating around. Once I've finished 3D modelling the case, I'll have more of an idea what will and what wont fit.

I should probably stress that I'm not going for ultra low temps with this build. Hell, I'll be happy if the whole thing doesn't melt into a sticky puddle.

Anyway, the case is bought:

and the hardware is coming straight out of my current rig:

i7 3820 @ 4.625GHz

16 GB Dominator Platinum @ 2000MHz

GTX 680 SLi

etc etc.

I'm sorry...is that a Mac?

I haven't seen anyone sew all of the cables together from the GPU, It looks very nice.  One of those EVGA sli bridges would look nice in the build.

What? I've done that, it's in my log! :D

(OK, I will admit that I don't have a close-up shot of it, but it's

there I promise)

I think I'm going to need to give a 1000 warning points for that. :P

Ontopic: Nice lacing! :wub:

Thanks!  :wub:  First time doing it and it took a few attempts to get the hang of it. It's not too hard, the hardest part it trying to keep the cables in line while you sew them.

 

I'm sorry...is that a Mac?

 

It was. :PLink to build log if you want to check it out.

Not sure I have either, much easier than trying to sew just the 6pin though!

I was looking into those bridges but they don't have a slim 2 way bridge long enough for my build - I'd have to get the wider 3 way bridge.  :unsure:
