    Thank you guys,

    Just some small update today
    Alphatier will not scratch my Flor or desk anymore
    I also put some tape on the frame so that the Radiator Paint will not get scratched
    Unfortunately i still wait for the watercooling parts because some key parts are out of stock .
    I is always impressive to look at the 180mm fans compared to a normal 120mm

    Real Live got real and i have actuality to work.
    Just some smal stuff for a while because i still wait for some parts.
    I flushed the one of the radiators
    First with tab water for a few minutes , swiched Ports and cold and warm water. Also some god shaking will get rid of all the bad stuff inside the rad that might bad for the pump

    The great feeling when you get the Parcel you waited for forever and when it arrives you have to go to work .

    There will be some Updates soon.

    A BIG thank you to Alphacool, Aquatuninig and Hardwaremax for helping me out with the Parts

    So many new toys for Alphatier. I played around to find a nice loop route unfortunately not everything that looks good is practical. That is because the quick disconnects need some tube slack to work well. I am really glad i can detach the radiator frame from the Mainboard part it helped a lot today. And that is also the reason i need the 4 quick disconnects. And i also found a good use for the Alphacool packing material. The Foam is really nice to work with[​IMG]

    Got something done Today . Over the weekend i thought hard how to the tackle Alphatier Storage issue.
    After spending another 40 € in the Hardware store i can say I am happy with te result.
    I also got closer to fix me a pump mount.
    Not sure if i use the old 80mm Fan from an old Apple G5 or use the mount that came with the pumptop. What do you guys think.?
    I also blatantly want to show of my sleeving skills XD

    Making a Pumpmount was trickier than i thought, but now it works fine. But i had to order some special Screws to make it work kind of good looking. The idea with glue was not my a best one XD

    I also made a quick testfit to see how to manage the cabels and you get a glimps on the final loop route.

    Having a new job is not always great. It gives you mony for toys that you cant play with because u have to work LOL. Still i got some smaller things done. A little colour here and there . A new CPU mount. I als played with some cable management Ideas for the hard drives.

    Cables a love and hate relationship for many Modders.
    A good cable job can make and break a Build.
    With the Alphatier being a very open Build i had too be a bit creative about my cables.
    Again i had too buy some stuff ...
