I thank that letting them black could add a bit of contrast, but only you have the final picture in your head so...Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Very nice package alain-s! can't wait to see it all go inside

 

I am looking forward to your incorporating the Aquaero. It looks fantastic.

 

Nice hardware!
Although I still think its a bit funny how over-engineered most fan controllers these days are.. I do really get why they are usefull because they also monitor temps etc. but I just wish the manufacturers could cut down on the "gamer factor". I don't think anyone needs constant temperature monitoring right on front view on the case, right?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next update, I'm really digging the all-white colors scheme and the neat build!

 

Ho-hoo, you are a talented man! I love your case so far!

 

Wow, lucky you with the new Aquero. I really like it but can't justify $170 Euro lol.

 

Thanks man

it will get a nice place ^^

well it is just fun to have + it will fit perfect in the project.
I tested the aquero 5XT yesterday it looks a lot of fun but i cant find how to set the fan speed lol.
The fans are spinning at full power i don't know how to turn them down. Think i need to check the aqua computer forum.

Thanks a lot ^^

ye it is expensive but u get some nice hardware for in return.

 

Update 12
After a few days of playing with the Aquaero XT5 it is time to put my attention back on the case.
this weekend i have made the pump stand.
I couldn't really find a good design for it. I also wanted to make sure that the vibration from the pump wont go on to the case.
Here some pictures of the stands
Few weeks ago i bought these rubbers for the vibration. (first pictures are black and white GF borrowed the cam :s)

First time i bended the plexiglass so i tried on a spare piece.


It went well so i started with the good parts.
I made 2 different stand to see what would be best fitted.
Stand 1






Stand 2






Tested them in the case to see what would fit the best.




Tbh i prefer the stand 1 even that it doesn't have the same features as the case parts.
Well maybe a make a other 1 if cant get out of it.
also did a very small mid on the silverstone fans

And i did the power cables of the fans also to connect to the Aquaero


Just need to make a cover for the back of it else u will see the mes with the wires

Tonight i will brake my pc off so i can send my motherboard to the shop so i can get the B3 version of it.
Lol i almost forgot to show u my first idea of the pump stand



Good that i didn't go further on that idea it really looks bad after the other one's

I love copper pipes.

Great Job, man.

 

Update 13

After long days of filling and sanding the body is ready for paint. I only have to do the sidepanels now and then it can go to the painter.
Last week i also received my new Motherboard Gigabyte P67-A UD5 B3 version
So i installed it with he 2 HD 6970 so i can finish my loop.
And i finished my pump also with the stand and the flow meter.

But first the Case
With my previous Project Umbrella i had to make some holes in the bottom of the case for the drain and some mounting holes.

These are all gone now


Removed all the scratches that i made on the top case




After all the sanding it was time to put the case in to the shower to wash all the dirt off

The pump
Because the i had to turn the pump to put it on th stand i couldnt reach the the bottom to adjust the speed of the pump.
I had to make something so i could still do it. without moving the pump
Drill a hole



Locktide on the screw so it wont move around

Also finished up the stand of the pump.



Like this i can still reach it without moving the pump around

Replaced the power connector so i can plug it directly in to the PSU


Because i couldn't find any white housing for the flow meter i decided to make it white my self




The Motherboard
Installed it on the tray with the HD 6970



Completed a other piece of the loop from CPU to GPU




Tray in the case





I only have to make the connection between the midplate and CPU and then is the loop completed then i can start the sanding and polishing of the pipes
