Scratch Build – In Progress (COMPLETED) Proj3ct Cut3 Furb [Custom Case /scratchbuild]

Hey everyone,

Here a small pic of the package that came today from frozen cpu.

Ordered some Primochill PETG tubing
and a 360 EK radiator.

Now i will setup a quick testbench to see if everything performs the way it is supposed to.

 

Here a Little Testbench (finally got to test the gpu )
everything works like a charm,
although i haven´t connected any operating system yet,but that will come as soon as i get the SSD or HDD

 

Powersupply Painted

Next the Radiator

 

Well and here is the EK 360 Radiator "FURB EDITION"

I hope you all like it,

Stay tuned for more [expecting another package]

 

Very proud to announce my new sponsors for this Build,
Primochill were so kind and sending me some of there not yet officialy released fluid for testing [ To be released soon ]
and the awsome revolver fittings (used them before and i really think they are not only amazing in looks but also very secure and great quality.
And a whole set of Awsome sleeved cables with the Cut3 furb theme in mind.

This will look so good once installed and filled

 

Hey everyone,

I decided to start on the tubing,since i did not want to cut or drill into the painted unitafterwards.

Here a little teaser of whats in progress,
i am trying to use no angled fittings,wich means lots of bends on some tubes.
But since i will be using PETG tubing the bending works like a charm,(realy nice bends so far)

now back to work,until soon

 

Awesome! Got a short guide on how to make those bends so accurately?

No, I meant: How do you measure where to bend? Surely, it must be difficult to measure everything? Takes lots of trials and failures, I would assume?

 

Hey everyone,

have been working on a idea to mount the reseroir to the cabinet itself,
this is what came out,(not much but still it will do the job and doesn´t look to bad)

Hope you like it,
stay tuned for more,

 

Today i started on the midplate wich will be between the motherboard and the cables in the bottom.
Also had to route the gpu's extension cable.
After routing that ,well let's just say it wasn't pretty :-/
I decided to work on a little cover for the cable.

Let me know what you think (out of curiosity )

 

Hey everyone,

It has been quite busy lately,but i finally got to start on the paint of the caseing,
first we primed it and then first thick coat of paint.

the paint has to try first and then will be sanded a little bit and cleaned up properly.

Here are some pics to show you where we are @.

It is getting there

 

I like the gumcoloured coolant! Also why didn't you answer Nutman's question? I'm curious about the same as him

 

I usually just use the silicone hose or soft tubing to meassure where to go and kinda get an idea where to go and where to bend.
Yes there are going to be some mistakes to start out with,but PETG tubing is quite easy to bend and meassure.

Hopefully this helps,(sorry for late replie on that one this question just past me)

 

Hey everyone,

the past days has not much been going on,except for paint and dry paint and dry and you get my drift.

but we are finally at a stage to continue.

Here a move shot of the assembly will get you more details soon,(weekend)


Have to enjoy my new TV for now Samsung 4 K [bought today]

 

Finaly the weekend is here,
this means assembly of the Project and making final changes and fixes (if needed)
also thinking of some extra ideas wich maybe i will be able to integrate

here a few shots to "maybe put a smile to you´re face" in the end of a work week .

have a nice weekend and stay tuned for more.
Thank you for chekcing out the Buildlog.

 

Damn, you're a whiz with the tube bending! Nice work!

 

Thank you!!

 

Hey everyone,

All the tubes are in,and the loop works like a charm,

now i will let it run for 48 hours with the Primochill sys scrubber (to properly clean the loop and make it 100% readdy for the Liquid)

in the mean while i will be doing some decals and acrylic work.

Stay tuned ,

 

after running the primochill (sys prep)sys scrub for more than 12 hours i kinda start to like the colour WHITE in the loop

But still 12 to go and then flush with clean destilled Water.
Then the loop should be reddy for the Dye
