Hello guys, Time start a new project. I hope you all will have as much fun as I will have. This project is supported by: A few months back I received a lovely package from Deepcool. Content of the package was: 2x UF 120R fans 2x Mealstrom 120 water cooler1x DA650 PSUAnd of course 1x Tristellar case Started to remove all the parts that I probably wont be using. What is left is just a naked case, its a bit like a fresh canvas to start on. :) That was it again, in the next update you will see the hardware and a few adjustments to the case.

Time for a update! Past few weeks I had a lot of work with creating the new front of the case. I wont go in to detail, the pictures will speak for them self. After every piece of plexi got there spot it was time to shape the grill. I also improved a few thing. Made some extra details on the hinges And countersunk the magnets that keep the doors closed. The extra material of the screw will be filed away, so you wont see any of this when the case will be painted. Next up was making my own reservoir for the first time. Had to create something that would fit with the case and can be showed at all time. After reading a few topic and seeing a few video's on you tube I got started. This is how it will have to look like. Before I glued the pieces together I had to sand the edges to get a straight line. One small hole could cause a leak in the reservoir. First attempt when very well. After the glue was hard I filled the res to see if there would be any leaks. Now I only have to do the top of the reservoir. To get the perfect angle I made some a help tools this way I would get the right angle. After the reservoir was finished I leak tested it and gave it a place in the case. So that was i again. Only few more things to do, top grill, power cables, install waterblocks and bend the copper pipes. Cya next time!

Thanks guys :D Time for a small update. Received some new packages this week. One of the packages contains some new products from a new sponsor Watercool. They gave a lovely discount on there latest products. Thx Watercool This was inside the package. HEATKILLER® IV PRO (INTEL processor) COPPER NI HEATKILLER® IV XL for GTX 980 - ACRYL Ni Couldn't wait with installing these beauty's. These blocks will fit perfect with this buils. Its something else then I am used to work with. On to the next package. I thought it was time to improve my work space a little After several solutions I found something that can replace the carton box where I place my mods on to build them. I got my self a tool cart with 7 drawers. Example of how I did it before the tool cart. And with the new stuff ^^ Always handy to have your tool right with you. Back to the mod. Now that all cables are done there is still one thing to do and that is start bending copper. Cant help it but i love a challenge. My first option was flexible tube but this would be to easy and the result would not be as good as nickle plated copper. :) You can also see that the top grill is finished Made a few adjustment to the panels so the copper pipes can run through it. This way you can see the loop also from the outside. Sadly I forgot to take a few pictures of the complete loop. But I got 2 on my phone. Meanwhile I have painted the the front grill in mat black. And added some lights The lights in the bottom have bin improved. They light radiates a lot better trough the plexi. Also the frame has bin painted in mat black If everything runs good the last parts will be painted this Saturday. Then I only have to bring in the copper pipes to nickle plate. Then I can start rebuilding the case next week. To top things off the mod has bin nominated for Mod of the Month. Feel free to vote for you favorite projects. http://www.bit-tech.net/m...e-month-october-2015/1Stay Tunned :)
