Yeah, I've been quite pleased with the quality of both those and the compression fittings that I got from CD. Bitspower is a great quality, along with Koolance.

I have some koolance here in the house, I love them too!
 
Well, somewhat of a update... I was going to place the system inside the MM case, but I got to thinking that I should wait till I get my wiring done at lease.. So, I hope by the end of the weekend I'll do it all.. I feel like just crashing after I get home from work at 7pm... :roll:

I really like the hdd bracket's that I got. Quite nice to see that I didn't have to paint the rails.. lol, I wish I I had the other rail.. lol.. :cry: I should have the other one tomorrow thank god.

Now, there is going to be a silte problem when having the drive bays full with the two hdds.. How am I going to place the front bay cover, in which I love, in there? Solution, I'm going to drill two holes in each side of Bay sides, so I can screw in the extenders and still have the bay cover in there.. Yeah, the hdds will stick a little more out, but I really don't think it will be a problem... Unless, I can think of a way to place them in there besides that.. Any idea? Open to thoughts.... Almost thought of using the hdd fan plates on the fan of the mobo tray, and just placing the drives there.. but I'm trying to shorten the loop...


All right, so I'm thinking of that... I took the fans off the rad, and top off so I can try seeing where, or how, to do that custom top... Snag on problems... Here, pictures show it.

It looks that the only way I can place the res above the top, like I want, is to place the rad in a strange placement like I show... The Custom top would... I don't know, be just a flat top with a hole at the end... but then the fans would blow downward... Only exhaust being the back of the case... I don't know... Your guys thoughts???

So, that's where I am now... Only thing I got good going for me.. This

Yep, black on/off buttons with Blue rings around the button! :rockout:
 
What are you using the other button for... the cathodes or a reset switch? Looks good man.. coming along nicely.. Have you heard anything on your res yet?
 
very very nice update CS. First off, like the mounting of the HDD :rockout: I absolutely love the rad, and the on/off buttons are badass :toast:

The Buttons are going to be like this. One is going to be for the White LED lights, While the other will be for all the UV active lights.

As for the Res. I haven't heard a thing since the XS thread stated he was awaiting the tubing again since they sent him the wrong stuff the first time.. So, that's up in the air.. Grinds my gears since I ordered it a month ago.. But, things happen.

Thanks CP, just gotta think of how the water loop will be mounted... Even thought of this, Have a custom Top with fans, then having MM do a custom side panel that was slated for a rad... But, that is like everything else.. up in the air... But, could work..


Also... Mee all getty right now.. just ordered this phone for replacement due to my other one that keeps crapin' on me... one year 4 phones due to screen just not working.. :roll: have that tomorrow! Woot!!!

can you give us an example to that side panel you told me about earlier? Like a ghetto drawing or something?
 
I got something better.. My dog has been a PITA so I had to sit down with her.. Plus going around with SP on ideas.. In about 20 I'll have a paint version.. Forgot to get photoshop from my hdd before I threw it in the case.. lmao
 
here is What I was thinking

my thought810.jpg


Now, that's the rad.. There is still a few things for the res and pump that I'm thinking of also.. Will have that mocked up and done once my dog stops being a PITA..
 
From the way I'm looking at it, it would still have good enough air flow inside the case... the only thing.. I was thinking of... for the side panel, outside the case, throwing a rad grill there instead of the fan grills.. but now where to find a 4x120mm rad grill??

i've looked before and found nothing but 120.3's at max. maybe a custom one can be done, shouldn't be that hard.
