(Build Log) Multiple Case Mods / Change loop configuration / landscape to portrait 3x1 stand build

Goal and purpose of my changes of my system

A week ago my motherboard died on me and had to rma it. With having to pretty much completely disassemble my loop to take out my motherboard. I decided it was a perfect time to change a few things that i have been wanting to do for a while now. Also when i built this computer i was new to OCN and did not make a build log which i want do for many reasons (Mod Of the Month)...lol. I also ordered a few new things that are quite exciting..you are going to have to wait and see...i hear thunder, ( ) must be near by. If that gives you any idea of one item coming..

Changes to my loop / Case / Components
- Change out the tubing due to i put Primochill Blood Red dye in my loop and the inside of all my tubing is red and now that i just want only distilled water and silver coil my water keeps on turning pink.
- Re-position my reservoir inside my case to the left side of my case in between my second GPU and back of case.
- Possibly cut out half of the 5 and half inch drive bays and mod it somehow. can't really think what to do though. Get your creative juices flowing and throw me some suggestions.
- Install custom GTX 680 backplates made by the master craftsman Dwood a fellow OCN member



Go from landscape to portrail 3x1 Surround with my Samsung Syncmaster S23A300B 23" monitors
- With this i am not sure where im going to start due to monitors don't have vesa mounts
- Going to have to build my own stand because of the fact stated above
- Remove or make bezel's smaller on monitors

Here are a few photos of what the build is like now





Many items come tomorrow and everything within Thursday so wont be long before i get this thing going. Please give any suggestions or knowledge, i will need it. I am not set in stone on anything till i physically have it complete or can't change it.

Anyone that has done both portrait and landscape on eyefinity or surround please give me reason why you like one better than the other. pros and cons of each, and what kind of games are good on one and not good on the other?

Ready for a little customization

arrival..........

Comparison in size. wow is the lightning alot bigger



Installed one of the backplates from Dwood a fellow OCN backplate master craftsman

I am waiting for my Koolance Flow Meter to return from RMA but once it does im thinking about putting it where it states in the picture what you think




I think it will look cool with the flow meter cause the middle spins

Right now i only got everything besides my graphics cards on water due to the fact that when i got my back plates from Dwood didn't send enough spacers so only one card would boot. the other one was getting shorted or something and just waiting for them to come in the mail before i can finish the left side of my case. I took a few photos before i took the cards back out of my system.

I got finally got the screws and spacers in the mail from Dwood. So i got the 680's on water now too.











Hope You guys like the changes i have made and please give me input put on any things you might think will make it sicker. Now on to the Monitor Mount Build

I figured to make it easier than tring to guess the loops configuration it's...
