[Build Log] - Diablo Blanco

post #1 of 94
Thread Starter 
I decided to start my build log. I will open by saying my inspiration was Nordar and much of my color theme and style was modeled after his, specifically the white sleeving and painting of the fans. Here is a list of the major components. The build will be a triple loop housed completely inside of a Little Devil PC-V8 case (all black) and will use white tubing and sleeving. The major PC components of interest will be a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7-B3 motherboard, i7-2600k processor and three GTX470 video cards in 3 Way SLI. The case was shipped Friday, 4/1 (I hope it wasn't and April Fool's Joke) so I am waiting until it arrives to wrap up some of the design details. Hopefully everything fits. I am slightly concerned about the 3 res's and pumps, however I am an ex-tool and die maker with access to a machine shop so I think I should be ok (finger's crossed). Here are the major components:

Little Devil PC-V8 Case (all black)
Aquaero 5 with a Waterblock, 2 Power Adjusts, 3 Flow Sensors and 3 Temp Sensors
EK Supreme HM CPU Block
EK GeForce 470 GTX GPU Blocks and Back Plates
EK 3 Way SLI Bridge and Links
EK Motherboard Block
3 XSPC RX480 Radiators (one for CPU loop and two for Video Card loop)
2 Swiftech MCP655 Pumps (one for each loop)
2 IandH 175mm Reservoirs (one for each loop)
17 120mm Gentle Typhoon AP-15's
1 90mm Gentle Typhoon
Bitspower Swivel Fittings in Black
Primochill 7/16 ID Tubing
MDPC White Sleeving and Shrink

more to come .....

I have the fans completely disassembled and ready for paint. I will try and get some pictures up tomorrow. Bear in mind if you follow this, my camera sucks and I am not a very good photographer.

Later ...

The fans, taped up and ready for some colored goodness. I also desoldered the wires from the PCB and will replace them with white, of the exact length required. The white will stop the bleeding through the sleeving and the length for cable management purposes, which i suck at but am going to try to do a good job at. More about that later.

The infamous little retaining rings. i bought a bag so I didn't have the "reshape" and reuse the originals. These are McMaster Carr part number 98541A111. THey wer abou $4.50 for 100 plus shipping which was about the same.
