Case Mod - In Progress [Build Log] Mil-Spec *Stick a fork in her,she is done...*

I can't see the pictures-am I the only one?

 

No your not the only one.

 

Imgur sometimes plays up,they seem to be OK on OCN.....

If they are not back in an hour i will re-host.

 

Pics are working for me.

Nice looking build, Neg.

 

KISS but that is nice

 

Thanks man,you wait till the pipebenders are out again!

Its all small detail for me,all coming together at the end.

I took a shot showing the fittings for Squigly's desk thread,i may as well show them here also.

Fittings have been painted for the block.

 

Looking damn nice B, what did you use to paint the fittings??

 

Looks awesome man, he's going to be one happy kid eh?

 

Black etch,sticks to the nickel better and dries matt.

 

Nice updates I like the color scheme and the coolers.

 

Just a small update...

The customer came round yesterday to have a look at the progress and to deliver a second 660Ti.

So,while the rig was out of the box,i installed the OS and got myself ready for doing the loop when the final bits arrive from XSPC.







And Yes,there will be a Sli cover going on that ugly ASUS bridge.

 

lovely stuff mate, really neat job there. I'd be proud to own this one!

 

Was gonna say ;-) cleva using the power cords to separate the cards for airflow, all in all it's looking sweet!!

 

I wouldnt do anything for anyone that i wouldnt do for myself,i hope it shows.
The guy im doing it for was chuffed when he saw it and its not even at the best bit yet.

The placement of the power sockets on the 670'/660's is a pain but can still look good if you put your mind to it,dont think this would work with sleeved cables as the extra bulk wouldnt fit.
Looks clean with the stock Corsair cables tho.

 

Right,another little update,Fan controller is here along with a concealed spring kit and the lighting.



A huge great wiring loom....not ideal,hopefully the functionality will be worth it.

Concealed spring kit for the waterblock,not keen on the black nickel finish so a blast with a rattle can for these..



DIY Backplate



Spring covers...DiNoc'd



Recycling is good for the environment









The drive bays are recessed which plays in to my plan of a 3 bay cover plate covering the res and the fan controller.

 

Excellent work! It's very neat and tidy, I like it.

 

Thanks Mate,i do like to keep a clean,almost stock look to a build. I am keen to get pipe bending tho!

 

Lurv the way the CPU block holders blend with the TUF cover of the mobo.. and with the incoming hard pipework this is gonna be a saaaweeet machine.. one lucky rugrat i tell ya!! Should maybe get the pops to spring for some sleeved cables..

 

I know.
I keep thinking about how much i spent on my SR2 that I could of plowed into something like this...

Still,scratch build next,got a scroll saw next on my 'to get' list.....


EDIT: New window and copper tube just turned up! Yay!

 

Pics have disappeared again (in the most recent post). Epic build, though!
