UPDATE 7

Rings of fans has finally got the yellow color. On some of the photos is not well illustrated color, but it's just as yellow as liquid (ie. nice deep yellow) and a sleeving cabling.



Also on the yellow-painted aluminum L profile.



Between the radiator and plate I put dust filter, which was originally perforated in front of the case.



After that plate itself. Incidentally, all sheets are already painted on black matte.



Installation of fans and tightening spacers, ...



which are for L-profile and two smaller plates.



Profile on both sides trimmed front and fine-tune the overall appearance.



The view from the other side. Input and output of the radiator will be at the bottom of the case.



But first radiator plate and the fans ...





and after that the front plastic.



And finally profiles along with two plates The front overall looks good imo, it surpassed my expectations





Next time I want to continue on the inside, not only with the installation of these plates, but also all others.



The second radiator EKWB SE240 along with fans ready for installation in the upper position.





When I will recycle the dust filter from the front, so I decided to use even the front grille as a cover.

Realy nice looking. I like what you're doing.

Looks Amazing! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks! Should be finished within one month

UPDATE 8

After a small break I've got a pretty big update full of photos I would like the project completed by the end of June. So now should be more frequent updates.

Because I decided to do my own holes for cabling, was necessary to make a few notches. And not only for wiring, but also some for reservoir and fittings. I painted edges with black paint to make it clean.



During the drying paint, I began to mount inside covers to divide the case - a total of 4 plates. One top here



A second here.



Together its pretty clean



On the back side, again jsut for finishing appearance.



Cabling of buttons, USB and audio I hid a little to the left side.


This is the final appearance of the interior after modding. And we can start with the assembly



As always, I will use water cooling from Bitspower - for the support they deserve great thanks!



Here are some photos of amazing products, which I'll use in this project


























As you can see reservoir will be mounted without screws - only through fittings.



Reservoir and fittings are prepared, only insert in case



Sits exactly



Next up was the top D5 pump, also partly predisposed on the table and then just mounted inside.



TOP is mounted on the bracket with 4 screws.



Rear side of this section.



This section, therefore, pump and reservoir, it is completely ready. It lacks only tubing and water I will add more soon

UPDATE 9

Last week rams from G.Skill arrived. A total of 32 GB of 3000 Mhz. TridentZ are really good and look super, very cool design. They also offer them in other color combinations.



But watercooling is watercooling Here are some photos rams, before dismantling their coolers. Really amazing hiqh quality product



















The original coolers are down.





Classical installation of water cooling - the two parts, thermally conductive pads, and then 2 screws .





On this side, I put a sticker TridentZ, let's at least see which beasts are inside



This week I will be doing the sleeving, something I already have, but I will upload it everything together

UPDATE 10

Cabling is ready! After two afternoons I put it together now just remain to put the sleeved cables through the prepared holes in a sheet around the MB. For the delivery of material to the sleeving I must thank http://www.Icemodz.eu! Mdpc quality x-sleeving, tools and connectors are at very reasonable prices.





Tools for taking out all kinds of connectors.



In addition, some connectors.



Crimping pliers very useful for custom cabling



A total of about about 80 meters sleeving in beautiful colors just for this project



Block for RAM memory, I was really not happy with nickel part in this project..



The inner part, where the water flows, I'd rather taped



After the third layer



The block now looks completely different and fits into the PC much more



Here is the complete wiring for the PSU.







I made straight connector to the PSU via 6pin



Another special part for this project - ASUS Maximus Formula VIII from ASUS. For me it's the best-looking MB I've ever had





Perfect workmanship including two (Start and Reset) keys that are nicely incorporated into the cover plate.



Formula = water block. This time, a very high quality from ek.



SupremeFX audio and lighting with RGB..



Backside also has its cover.







Rear I / O offers great connectivity including WiFi card.



Boom! MB in place



Stickers on the sides of the new heatspreaders of G.Skill RAM memory.



From one side.



And from the other side.



Already some 90-degree fittings. Hopefully everything goes as plan .. Today I bought CPU, so next time I can continue with the water loop.



Somehow I played around and created this one But maybe I will really use it... more soon! I'll be glad for your feedback

UPDATE 11

Next step - graphics card. Everything comes together better and better and finish is near

Anyway, for a graphics card, the GTX 980 Poseidon, big thanks to ASUS!



Card in a very luxurious design and also including hybrid cooler. But despite this I prefer fullcover block from Bitspower, especially in terms of appearance











And up to the installation of water block! First, of course, take down the original cooling including backplate.





Then its easy - new pads, paste, and mounted the block.



The original backplate goes in combination with the block nicely, but in the case it did not look as nice as here on the table





The card slot. There is already seen some disturbing things - the card is not 100% horizontally.



That is why I have made such a support from the M4 threaded rod. I'd hate how the card is not 100% horizontal



Another thing was that each block looked different ... One shiny, second (VGA) transparent with nickel parts (which I already painted on the block RAM).



Therefore, it came to a painting



Both units are painted on a lot of dark gray - black up to be equal and matched to the CPU block and also POM top on the pump etc.





VGA block was no need to disassemble, just enough to cover up the G1/4" threads and paint



IMO looks much better more soon!

UPDATE 12

A little delay It was still necessary to mount the PSU and I also decided to use ASUS Fan Extension card for fan control

Installation of PSU into this case is very convenient.





Here are a few more photos of V1000 for which I want to thank Cooler Master!











And the very last piece of hardware this beautiful drive from OCZ (Vector 180 - 480GB), for which I want to thank them!











And small mod on the ssd After all, blue is not fit there at all, so at least this way.





Here is one in a million ways of connecting fittings of the CPU block and the connection block with the MB and RAM blocks. As I mentioned earlier do tubing straight and good looking is sometimes a bit of a challenge.



The winning option.






MB finally mounted into the case



Originally I wanted it as shown here, a straight tube and out of the closet, but it was not quite it.



So I did this, it has no purpose but it looks much better!



Current status As you can see I really do not much missing!

I don't know how you have the patients for the fiddly stuff like the sleeving but it is looking great.

I dont know too Haha! Thanks

UPDATE 13

In these summer days it is difficult to be at home and make your computer But anyway here is my last update. Water loop, cabling - all done!



One of the last passtrough in place



Final check the location of graphics card.



And hooray for assembling the last couple of pipes.



Measurement of the corner joints.



After that came the cabling. First 6 pin PCIE



And then the 8 pin PCIE, also cable for cable stretch through the prepared holes.



Rear of the total adjusted state.



Half stretched through 99% done





Only such detail on the finished loop (pre-wiring). Filling soon!

FINAL PHOTOS!

So, it is finished! Thanks for support and enjoy finished mod Hope you will like it. Let me know in comments :thumb:

Beautiful!!!
