Thanks for bumpage. Sadly not really, I have lots of free time but somehow don't seem to get around working on this project. Maybe next week if everything goes as planned.

I've had to halt work on my Armor as theres no-where for me to do it.. Need to get the shed converted into a workshop, then i'll work all the time!

Btw, if you get any spare water parts, tell me. I'm looking out for them :) thanks.

I did cut it out now, but I'll leave that task for another day :D Just don't have a good feeling if I'd do it today. BUT I made progress! The dual rad can be mounted now, altho not exactly the way I planned it; fucked up big time drilling the holes, only one lined up lol, however the honeycomb on the same level is perfect and it should do the job. Also, I pondered about ways to mount the vertical reservoir and I had the perfect idea: Recycling the shitty slot covers (they already had holes in it). Time for pictures now.

The covers I'm talking about

Said covers after Dremel treatment and THREE cutting discs O_O

This is the contraption...

...and yaay, win! And just by the way I finally discovered a good water loop. See picture way below.

The holding mechanism in detail

Now the GPU loop I'm talking about. Tubing is blue, rad is black, res is green, pump is red, block is yellow.
