My first system case was a Corsair 800D "great case but a little bit small on the back side for the wiring" :

Case 800D
Processor i7 3820 overclockt to 4,6 Ghz
Ram 16 G of Dominator GT 2000Mhz
Disk 2 x OCZ vertex 2 120Gb in raid 0
Screen Eizo S2000
Keyboard Logitech G510
Mouse G9
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
CPU Corsair 1200

My current rig:

Case Caselabs Th10
Processor i7 3930K
Ram 4 x 2Gb of Dominator GT 2000Mhz (waiting for exanche for other set)
Disk 2 x OCZ vertex 2 (currently running system on 1 disk ) disk wil be exchanged for the samsung 840 256Gb
Screen still the same Eizo S2000 (1600 x 1200) also gona be exchanged in 2013 for a 30"
Mouse and keybord the same

I will upload the foto's of my first update (installing 4 of the 16 fans)

2e update

I will show you the case "witch i buy on the site of Caselabs USA" love the case.
after i received my first radiators i cleant them and if you can see there is still som residu left in the radiator.
I started to instal the fans on the radiators. the first fans took me a little while becouse it was the first one and i got to get used to do
this. The other ones went on match quicker.

3e update

I was placing the pump mounds on the radiator for the pump. When i received the moubds i noticed i had the wrong ones so i had to modify them by cutting them and exchange the strip for mounting the Bitspower pumptop" i made the strip just a little bit longer so i had enough room for the pump kabels witch i sleeved before.
I will spray them before i mounting them.








On the last picture you will see the bitspower reservoir without the mod kit.

4e updated

I sprayed the strips for the pump mounts.
I also started with mounting my new watherblocks for my old EVGA GTX 580. You will notice that without dust filters on your case the cards will pick up afther a while a lot of dust. With a You tube movie from installing the watherblock and the paper instruction from Koollance i started with screwing out the srews of my GTX 580's until i cam a little bit further on the instruction where i was reading the following "now you can split the cart in 2 pieces "Yes but that was after i did screw out the other 18 screws first" pffffff

Sorry for my bad Englisch but i'm Dutch

5e update

I started to mounting the modkit 150 form bitspower to the bitspower pomptop. Ans i also mounted the draining system with the Bitspower F-block who i bought on the site from FrozenPC because i was not able tho get it from my dutch surplier on the time. The shipping cost where 3 times the cost of the block.
Because of posible staining of the tube i bought the new Tygon E-1000 hose. I changed i later for the Tygon R3603 because i felt that the hose wasn't close enaugh connecting to the bitspower connector to the radiator.

My desk looked like a workshop

7e update

I finished up by putting the last 2 water blocks on the las 2 GTX 580.
Because the Caselabs TH has a mobile backplate (with 4 rubbers for holding the bas) i was able to mount the motherboard and the other waterblocks.
Yes another step to completion.

I must say thanks to the downloading of all the build logs from Singularity Computers "Best II" from You Tube i was match easier for me to keep going with the build.
Now i am typing this i wunder why there are no holes for puting in the led for my waterblock for the bridge and chipset. On the CPU and Ram blocks there are 3 mil holes to put in leds. I wil put some in\on later

I also received my new fancontroller Aquero 5 Pro (sinds the system is running i still have some questions about the controller:
- why doesn't the fancontroller shut down when i put out the computer.












 
#15 ·
8e update

At this update i started connecting the crystal links in the bitspower connectors. because the backplate from the Caselabs TH case was stationair it was match easier to mounting al my blocks "until now no problems".

On the last 2 pictures you see some of my cables witch came out my old case.
Ha i am glad i do some weightlifting because the case is becomming heavy












 
#16 ·
9e update

I started putting in my old Corsair AX 1200 and some of the wiring.
With in mint that i will change some components like the dvd drive ant the cabels i will ceep it how it is until later".

10 e update

I closed the loop and connected up al the cables for the first leaktest of the system.
because it is my first build i am putting extra paper towels in the case. I think my head begins to leak by the thought off having a leak.

11 update

I filled up the reservoir many times when it became empty almost by shutting of the power to the pumps. The first time i forgot to close the cap of the reservoir before shutting down the power. I was quick enough to close up the cap and clean the spilling
I ran the leak test for 4 hours and kept running around the system keeping checking for possible leaks. Gladly no leaks.

12 e update "problems"

I am buidling tower cases for a cuple of years nowe and until nowe no problems "until now".
The bios of my Asus rampage IV extreme will not start up. 3 times i start the powersuply and 3 times the power suply shutting down.
After a check i discover some wrong connected cables "stu., gr...., shi....." after reconnecting the cables i tryd to start up the system but no signs off a revival of the system. I changed the bios en took apart the complete system and checking all the connections i found out that 2 cables where twistet and i ri connect the wires. I fill up the loop again but still no signs of starting up the systems. I am desparad. On the Dutch site from HighFlow i received many mails but no sollution.
The bios led stayed on 0,0.
Because i sort out what is broken i had to buy extra components like:
- a new powersupply (will be the new Corsair AXi 1200)
- a new motherboard Asus Rampage IV extreme
- a new CPU ( i7 3930K)

After emptying my wallet i received the new parts and it took me a while to mount them with more care this time. After refilling the system for the 3e time. I tried to starting up again And again no signs of starting up. This time i try to start up the old board and processor "no problem" with starting up. After a while i changed the bios of my new board . Don ask me why i wasn't able to start up. The system is running now. Ant i must say i am glad. And my sun is happy because he got my old rig. No christmas present for him this year i think.

I have orderd som sleeving from MDPC for updating the wiring of the CPU,
I also trying to find out the best way to mount the fancontroller the Aquero 5 pro in the case and connecting the power adjusters.
Also on my wishlist is the lightning of the case.

I think i have seen a great buildlog of a corsair 800D also with the Aquero 5 pro on this side. "Thanks for that"

With a little patience i will update my buildlog.

I hope you like my pictures and i'm open for tips

Henry Tates

greetings from a snowy Holland

P.s. I will put a picture of the final look of the case later this week on the side

The fans are great almost no noice the fans are running at 30% now. i must say i still have to manage the Aquasuite programm further on. I am downloading a lot of films from You tube about managing the program. I is like reading a manual with 600 pages. It will take me a while to finish it. There is one thing about the Aquero i dont like and that is shutting down the Aquero when powering down the system. Until now i am not able to shut off the display. May by some one read this and give me a tip

And the radiators i like them to. after reading some test i chose them for my build.
