    Hi

    everyone. I not new to the Community but this is my first project log that i share.

    I am Joremos and i want to share my project with you
    I have been building my first watercooled pc in the late 90´s based on the Lian Li PC70.

    As big fan from Elite I was really ecited as i heard they will come an new Elite game.
    I played the first Elite in the 80´s and i liked it.

    Here are the first pictures what i have done already and what i will do next.

    Planned hardware
    Case : Corsair 900D "already have"
    Mainboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula Z "already have"
    CPU: AMD FX8320 "already have"
    RAM: 16 GBG.Skill RipJawsX "already have"
    GPU: Radeon R9 280X "already have"
    Power supply : 860 Watt Corsair AXi
    Fans: Corsair Air Series SP120



    Watercooling componets:
    CPU-cooler: EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ
    Pump: 2x EK-D5 PWM Motor
    Reservoir: 2x EK-D5 X-RES 200 CSQ - Acetal
    Radiator: 2x EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (480), 1x EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (240)
    GPU-Kühler: HEATKILLER GPU-X³ R9 280X
    Fitting: Bitspower 16/10
    15xBitspower Black Sparkle Rotary 90-Degree,
    1xBlack Sparkle Q-Rotary IG1/4"X3 Extender,
    2xBitspower Direct-Connect Set 1/4 Zoll,
    2xBlack Sparkle Mini Valve With Black Handle
    Tube: EK-HD Tube 12/16mm
    Controll: Aquaero 6


    What i want to do!

    The outside is for the new Elite Dangerous game and the complete inside will be an tribute to the original Elite game from the 80´s.

    First i planed an new top panel with Elite logo as fan grills.

    The other thing is to remove the original bottom side panel on both sides and create one with Elite Logo.

    Next step for me is the paint job for the in and outside.

    This one come on the right side and the cobra will be a litle bit greter.
    The rest of the case will fit to the picture.

    [​IMG]

    The inside will be painted like the old c64 version of the game.
    Black with small white dots and some ship models. Like the Cobra :D

    Update 05.09.2014

    First some bad news.
    I have to by an new washing machine because my old one is broken and i must spend my project money into an new one.
    So i must wait before i can buy the watercooling parts :wallbash:


    But here some new pictures from my last work and i hope you enjoy it :)

    Here some pictures from the finished airbrush on the case front

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then i installed the midplate,motherboardtray cover and the backplate.
    All plates are airbrushed with white uv colour

    [​IMG]

    Here is the midplate with the ship models. These are also painted with uv colour.
    [​IMG]

    I changed the silver front and back from the Aquaero.
    I think it looks much better then the silver one :p

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Then i sleeved the the cables with black/white sleeve
