Update!!!
Where were we .... the acrylic tubes where almost finished, now it's time to make some covers.
First the CPU first connection, this is becoming exactly in the center of the two reservoirs
The midplate, Here I have created the holes for the tubes and fill-ports.
For the left 240 rad I have bent an aluminum cover and made it black.
Cut a piece of red acrylic cut to the dimensions of the radiator. And past this black vinyl
Besides the radiator there is a nice space for all wiring but I don't want to see the wires. Therefore a cover. Cut, bent and made it black.
To hide the HDDs and a nice black background for the tubes, I cut a piece of aluminum and again made it black, also made a nice red acrylic roof​​.
The earlier made red acrylic placed on the radiator.
The cover for the wiring.
One side complete.
Gonna make both sides almost the same​​. So cut another piece of aluminum for the HDD cover.
Made it black
Again, a piece of red acrylic for the other radiator
Then suddenly a package from.......

I got a lot of questions about the acrylic tubes, how I make them fit.
The acrylic tube is unfortunately with a tolerance, and unfortunately I rarely got the 12mm.
The tube that I most of the time get is generally 12.23 mm. Unfortunately, this does not fit into a
multi link
Specs of the multilink C47 has no internal dimensions, therefore the C71
Step by step how I do this
Tube with the tolerance
Marked the tube and cut it with a junior saw.
Both ends file straight.
Removed a thin layer internally with a sharp knife
My dremel extention tool, set to 8mm
And this a few times around the tube. After some filing and measuring the right size
Now you have a sharp edge on the side which is not very good for your o-rings in the multilink.
The original BP links also have a slanted edge, so made this also. File a slanted edge with a small file.
And ready is your custom made crystal link.
