Hello to all Evga Mod Rig users,today im here to present to you my most recent watercooling project. First the choice of the case was a personal choice,due to the case having lots of modding potencial and pf course of the dimension of it also helped ,it also alowed the instalation of a different radiator setup, that´s rigth im going to use four radiators in this project,im glad the case has wheels or it wouldnt move.
The case choosen for the project is a Phobya WaCoolT UltraBig case,the case is basicly a beast,and it´s very easy to work with due to the screws system.
 


The name of the project is due to the massive amount of water it will have in the watercooling system.
 
 

 
Oceanus (/oʊˈsiːənəs/; Greek: Ὠκεανός Ōkean?s pronounced [ɔːkean?s]) was a pseudo-geographical feature in classical antiquity, believed by the ancient Greeks and Romans to be the divine personification of the World Ocean, an enormous river encircling the world.

Strictly speaking, Oceanus was the ocean-stream at the Equator in which floated the habitable hemisphere (οἰκουμένη, oikoumene).[3] In Greek mythology, this world-ocean was personified as a Titan, a son of Uranus and Gaea. In Hellenistic and Roman mosaics, this Titan was often depicted as having the upper body of a muscular man with a long beard and horns (often represented as the claws of a crab) and the lower body of a serpent (cf. Typhon). On a fragmentary archaic vessel of circa 580 BC (British Museum 1971.11-1.1), among the gods arriving at the wedding of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis, is a fish-tailed Oceanus, with a fish in one hand and a serpent in the other, gifts of bounty and prophecy. In Roman mosaics, such as that from Bardo he might carry a steering-oar and cradle a ship.

Some scholars believe that Oceanus originally represented all bodies of salt water, including the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the two largest bodies known to the ancient Greeks. However, as geography became more accurate, Oceanus came to represent the stranger, more unknown waters of the Atlantic Ocean (also called the "Ocean Sea"), while the newcomer of a later generation, Poseidon, ruled over the Mediterranea

As i said previously it has lots of space to work with and for all the hardware i want to use in it.

Watercooling :
 

 

 

 

 

 
Just a little preview of some of the watercooling material and cabling i will use in the project,still missing a few details on the material as well,for it to be perfect and to route the watercooling loops as i desire:thumb:
Now the most important,the sexy case photos :
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Just look how small the mini-itx motherboard looks inside the case hahaha:D,and of course i think i migth rent some space of the case as a hostel if anyone is interested in speding some holidays in Portugal just ring me:D:thumb:

    Just curiosity, and a little bit of hope. LOL. Hoping some parts, or at least one will be Evga. You see, I'm a big Evga fan, and I like their products. I have a few of them myself.

    Update:




    The Phobya case showing off the finished painting, exterior and interior was chosen the white color,and to highlight some parts of its interior was used the blue color, all four radiators were mounted withtheir fans, in this project i am using seventeen fans in order to achieve maximum performance of the water cooling system.




    Sleeving color sample.








    In this three photos you can see the quality of the painting and the future cable management.






    Begining of the sleeving in a 21 pin white extension.

    Update:
     
    I got the GA-Z97X-Gaming 7:
     

    wich was red,but i decided to change the mosfets and chipset color to fin in this modding color shceme.
     
    So..

     

     
    They are now white:rock::thumb:
    And you can also see in full detail the sleeving on the 24 and 8 pins cables.
     

    Regarding the acrilics i will be using a few,but i can only show now the side panel:
     

     
    Yeah i have done a new side panel for the case,so now it can be a little bit easier to carry it or maybe not:thumb::D
