This got a bit ugly as I had the two 3.5" bays to deal with. Still not sure what I'll do to the face plate. Somehow the fan fit in between the divider and the bays. It's very tight, but it fits. The fan is a Scythe Slip Stream, just as all the other case fans. There should be a wire management update tonight, and something special on the tube routing side..

Wire Management


The wire management cover.



1.5" long 3/8" diameter aluminum rod standoff.



I had to align and drill holes in the cover, so here is my no measuring solution. I used a small piece of chewing gum to transfer the points.







Ready to go.



With the board installed. I'm thinking of breaking up the atx plug into smaller bundles to make it more clean.





The Loop


I hard mounted the reservoir to the center divider. The screws go through and thread right into the 1/2" alumi rods on the res.



Mounted up.



I decided to not use the holes in the center divider I originally made. This way the loop will end up being more stealth.



The main tube from the pump goes up the back of the case and will be totally hidden by the cover.



It runs behind the rad right into the block.



That is all the tubing that will be on this rig for now. The part over the res will also get a cover, with two holes to pass the hoses. The left tube on the res is the return from the rad, the right tube will connect to the fill port.



Must...resist..filling..loop


I still have a few small thing to take care off, but the rig should be wet within a few days.
