Hello I realized that by this side, the fans will take the air from outside to inside the case. And I don't want it. Then I will make a new rendering with fans in the same position from that picture: I will also replace the "front" reservoir by a 100mm version because in reality, the one I want is 175mm long and it's too much for the space I have. And for the end, I am doing some rendering for a "murderbox-style aeration" on the top of the I/O shield, like this: If you have any question or request, feel free to ask. Good evening Leop93
Erm ... before a mod gets on your case ... I think you forgot to read the rules for scratch build logs Looks like it's going to be good though
Hello Carrie Thank you for your comment about the rules, I will edit this weekend my first message to follow them. I am sorry. And I will create a good & beautiful topic. Thanks for the Mod. I hope it will be at least as good as the 3D rendering. Leop93 EDIT: And there is a real picture of the build to don't see my topic locked. More this weekend.
Great start. I was wondering with acrylic tubing taking off now, why not just bend the tubing for all the 90 degree bends. You will save a boat load of money on fittings and save all lot of space.
@Marquee, thank you. First, I thought to bend the acrylic tubes, but finally I love too much the "mechanical/industrial" style of all that metal fittings. @Primum Agmen, yes it's purely esthetic. With a blank at this place, it seems very empty.
Hello everybody ! Before the work of this weekend, there is a little picture of what will be fitted in my case: Have a nice day Leop93
Wow, this is a nice build so far. Great work on the renders. I also like the grills you cut into the aluminium.
