Hello again, I'm actually working on a second project. I will mod a Caselabs SMA8, it is a dream case for me since I've seen it. There is not that much to say about the case, except that it is one of the biggest and priciest cases on the market. The qualitiy of it is a dream. concept: [...] hardware: CPU: Intel 5930K Mobo: Asus X99 WS-E memory: memory: 32GB Klevv Cras 2133Mhz VGA: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Powersupply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1200 1200W ATX 2.3 Storage: t.b.a. watercooling: CPU Block: EK-Supremacy EVO VGA Block: EK-FC XXX pumps: 4x Alphacool VPP 655 PWM reservoir: custom tubing: hard tubing fans: Noiseblocker Black Silent PL1, PL2 & PK2 fan control: Aquaero 5lt The case: I've chosen Gunmetal Grey, I think its the best looking Caselabs color. You can easy remove the tray, I like this option a lot. Enough space for two power supplies a lot of room for hardware. I will use a 560er and 280er radiator in the bottom section. In the Front would be enough room for another radiator but i will just mount fans there. Backside: I love that case! Big thanks to: I'm very happy for supporting this project.

There is still not enoug space for what I want to do. ^^ Yes, absolutly One of the highlights for this build arrived yesterday. What could it be? Its an sLight made by Martmamod/Stempel-Hauser. Great company with nice service and high quality products. On all pictures is an protectie sheet on the slight but it looks great anyway. fits very well. (not the final graphics cards.) this equal distribution of light
I'm very happy for being supported by Noiseblocker. They sent me 8x PL1, 1x PL2, 6x PK2 fans. They look so fantastic in this case. Thanks for supporting me. The package includes a lot of accessories. its to bad that the decoupling rubber seals doesnt fit with m4 screws which are needed for the radiators. The hardwarelabs GTS 560: Fans and radiators: The black screws are still missing, I hope I get them soon.
I will continue this mod in the nex few weeks. Here is a small teaser of what will fellow: We will see if this will work.
Thank you. Update Moddingstylez supports this project with some amazing custom cables. Thank you for that.
The last days I've prepared the radiators. original state: Cleaned them, sleeved them and change the screws. Looks much better, dont you think?
small update: I've cleaned the pumps. Changed the fittings from Bitspower to Barrow. original state: New fittings, later I exchanged the green o-rings for black ones. Besides that, I used some new screws. the result:
First of all... my favourite case! Will watch. Second, are those barrows just like bits power quality wise? I was looking at them but don't know much.
Yes, the SMA8 is just awesome. I have a lot of Bitspower fittings and now some from Barrow, I think the quality is pretty much the same. Update: Some new shots of the hardware. The motherboard of my dreams. Asus X99 WS-E Mounted it to the tray of the Caselabs SMA8. Mounted the waterblocks of the 980Tis and CPU: First try of the tubing, what do you think? I tried to avoid the bend the other way round...
Good idea with the EK stickers. I continued in designing the "waterplate". Its nearly finished, it can be milled very soon. I hope it will fit.
Waaaait a sec here, do I see FOUR D5 pumps???????????? WOW What in the power of God are you going to run with them? I understand though it might be for aesthetical purpose, but still, wow Anyway, I like what I see
