Very nice

Can you do me a favor and measure the depth of the channel for the RAM with the heatspreader fully assembled? Basically, the channel that the RAM sits in- I want the depth of it.

Also, the width of the channel would be great, too If you don't mind, of course.

The width of the channel that the RAM sits in is 3mm.
Total depth is 28mm minus 3mm to allow the screws to be screwed in (make sense?)

Need any more pics just say the word!

@afzsom

I love it, your last line is correct, if only line 3 was also correct!

What work is there left for you to do other than the watercooling now?

Whats left to do? Hmm good question actually:

1 - LED and switch wiring
2 - T-Blancer Config
3 - Matrix Orbital Config
4 - 3 Water Loops
5 - Finish PSU braiding, SATA cables giving me a nightmare
6 - Spray paint screw heads

Teeny tiny update before bigger one later tonight.........

Got a 360 AC Ryan Stripes Rad grill for the roof, probably end up being replaced with a custom one at a later date (so im told).




and last item on the agenda, Matrix Orbital LCD.... not a bubble where its gonna fit though. :shock:

Looking really good buddy!!

But man all those extra blocks (northbridge, southbridge, HDD) are sort of unnecessary and add restrictions. :\

oh yeah, forgot about the amazing LED wiring
Whats a T-balancer (I assume thats what you were trying to say?)
whats the matrix orbital LCD for?
oh gosh 3 loops!
Braid the PSU wires? Mine were really neat and, although not round, were very neatly arranged.
painting screw heads, now thats gonna be a pain

EDIT: on a pic from BnB, you can see the wires from my computer in the top, they're UV reactive btw

and another pic from xoxide

oh btw, how did you put the case back together? My case uses weird bolt thingys that I have to destroy to take it apart, and I don't want to take it apart and not be able to put it back together
