Well I love the day off, so I can work on this project. Here is some of the work Today.



Here is the top cut out for the 360 rad. It will all be covered by a nice Rad Grill

Here is the case with the mobo plate cut and without the HD cages and drive bays

After taking out the rivets that hold this between the sides of the drive bays, it needs to be modified to allow the 240 rad and fan up front

The other side of the Drive bays

All finished on this one

All finished on this one

This is it all put back together


Checking the clearance.

This is the proposed loop setup. Anyone see anything wrong or a way to improve it.

I made a psu cover for a test fit. I placed the pump where I think It will look the best.

I have done a few minor things so far over the past few days...



I made a cover for the drive bays

A test fitting with the sentry mesh's from NZXT

With the rad temperately in place


I have a few things to do and fix. I got to make sure i got every line nice and straight. I am going to re cut the mobo plate to better suit my needs. I am working on a custom rad grill and psu cover. I need to cut the side panel for the window and install the equipment. I should flush the rads soon though, LOL. Can forget that. Until next time.

Been a little bit busy with work and the heat here is southern california.... at one point 120f... YIKES, it turns the garage into a sauna. Heres a few things that I was able to get going.

After flushing the rads, and letting them dry. I started in on putting them together.

The rad and fans sitting inside its home. I had to change out one of the Koolance fittings, to a 90 to work correctly. I will say this, these Koolance fittings are the best out on the market. It is really easy to put them on since they have a flat spot design for a wrench. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Put the front fans on. The front is shaping up nicely.

Since a did some cutting on the mobo plate and top plate, and cleaning up the lines, I sanded them down to get them ready for paint. I also took the front panel mesh out to paint it.

Here is the mesh installed back into the front panel. Also my little buddy showed up to help out.

This little punk told me to sleeve the pump wires and wire up my vandal switch for this build and I listened.

Then he went off playing around with the res and top panel.



I am awaiting the grill and psu cover to show up. Plus a few more special items.

A small quick update..




So I painted the nobs to the fan controllers. Plus I made some modifications to the plate for the fan controller. They got shortened ALOT..

Installed the vandal switch where I wanted it... I got to repaint the top plate after a really good sand down.

I mounted the rad and res , just to make sure everything was looking good. I ran extra tubing I had to make sure that the clearance was right.

A picture with the fans and rad in place up top.
