Hey guys,
Today I shortened and sleeved the DDC pump and added one missing piece to the pump and res combo in order to be able to properly bring the loop back to the top of the res.
It's sort of like a Bitspower aquapipe but out of a piece of acrylic that EK offer for these reservoir tops.
Originally I wanted to use the Bitspower aquapipe as I have quite a few laying around however EK chose to have larger than G1/4" threads on the inside of these tops for some reason so the aquapipe didn't work. Luckily I found the acrylic tube that EK offer locally.
Once I received it, just had to shorten it to fit this res.
These are the threads on the inside of the res top.
Easily done :)
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more to come over the weekend!
Cheers,
Alex

The buttons are great.
I used similar buttons for outdoor lighting and even door bells.

Here's the new EK stuff I received. Nickel plated mounting bracket and a new clear Supremacy EVO top, part of the upgrade kit. Also new RAM modules to replace the ones that were powder coated before.
Made some decal stickers for the RAM modules to go with the toxic theme :)
Pretty nice looking little combo!
Starting to get components back in the case. Still waiting on fittings, tubing and cables to arrive.
Thanks for checking it out!
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
Front panel is done and here is how I applied it on, very simple with some double sided 3M tape.
For some reason these following pics I only have from my phone, not sure what happened with the ones from the camera :(
Thanks for checking it out and hope you guys like the finished front panel!
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
Another quick update. The GPU is good to go and I also cut up these fan frames that will go around all the fans in the build to give them more colour.
You can see on the GPU the pink and purple caps have been covered with chrome vinyl.
This is the design I went for with the frames to just cover the edges of the fans.
Just need to get painted and filed down a little bit more, will be same silver colour as the side and front panel.
Thanks for checking it out.
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates on the build. I have been very busy moving houses over the last few weeks.
All done now but no internet at home yet, so posting update from work. Should have a lot more room and time to work on builds from now on and will hopefully wrap this build log up soon but I'm still waiting on custom cables to arrive.
Here are the finished grills/covers I made for the fans.
Stay tuned for more.
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
More work in progress! Found a nice spot for The Mod Zoo monkey badge and it looks pretty nice in there.
Just a few things to fix up and start working on some cable management for the fans and LEDs. Once the sleeved cables arrive and I can get everything in and start tubing up finally!
The two mounting holes for the 80mm fan grill don't really match unfortunately so will need to fix that :)
And here's a better look at the finished front panel.
Stay tuned for more!
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
I have some more fittings to show, this time some extensions. Thanks a lot to Hugh from mydiy.com.au for helping out with these Barrow fittings. You can check out his eBay store HERE with some good prices on fittings.
Not sure if I will use all of them yet but they will definitely come in handy for all the small tight corners in this build. I also need some spots to be really strong so just tubing won't do. Will make sure to show once ready.
Thanks for checking it out.
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys!
Here are the awesome cables from Icemodz! Thanks a lot to Mundi for making and sending me this kit. It's made from nice flexible paracord sleeve and should fit nicely in the system. Make sure to check out the icemodz.com website for all your custom cable and LED needs.
Thanks for checking it out!
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys,
Here's another update on this build! Most of the fittings and cables are now in and it's ready for tubing up! Just wanted to give you guys a quick look inside before tubing up.
That chrome colored fittings is the only straight rotary fittings that I had. Once the front radiator is in that fittings is not seen.
You can also see the LED strips are in, these are UV LEDs from Icemodz.
Not sure if you notice but I bent a piece of acrylic around the 80mm fans and also around the 140mm fan, thought it cleans things up a bit.
Thanks for checking it out!
Cheers,
Alex

Hey guys!
Here it is, tubing all done! The hard tubing used is 1/2" Primochill PETG. First time I've used PETG tubing over acrylic and it's awesome!
So easy to use, heats up and bends much quicker and then can just cut the ends of with a tube cutter :)
Let me know what you think of the bends, tried to keep tubing to a minimum.
So tight for the 24pin!
Pretty much leaning on the fan. Lucky it's on the back of it so, it's still able to spin.
Thanks for checking it out! I should have final pics up in a few days, will get it filled and install Win 10 on it. Will be my first PC with Win 10 on it.
Cheers,
Alex
