    Hello All,
    I have in the years had some pretty cool rigs

    First Water Cooled one:
    [​IMG]

    Second Water Cooled one:
    [​IMG]

    First Modified one:
    [​IMG]

    Even Mini ones!
    [​IMG]

    So I’m you will se why I’m embarrassed about the next pic...
    [​IMG]

    So I have 2 weeks off from work and lots of old (and some new\waiting to turn up) Water Cooling bits, Plus a surprise I will keep to the end of the log.

    Here are the bits...
    [​IMG]

    I was going to go with red LED fans and black hosing with red anti kink coils.

    Now I havent had much chance to do much as I’m still waiting for bits to turn up from Aquatuning.:wallbash:

    So I started with modifying the case to take the Bay Res, those of you who have the ATCS 840 will know that the bays have little lips to hold devices.

    Thanks for looking!

    The Red one looks nice, I know red and black has been done to death in the last couple of years but I still love it.

    Thanks guys, My stacker mod was my best work but I never actually made a log.

    I have a little Update nugget...

    As I mentioned I am waiting on parts from Aquatuning before stripping down PC ready for loop to go in, so I worked on a few cables and fitting all the barbs to the loop.

    Converted an old Hyper power cable to be used on a cooler master modular PSU.

    Made some LEDs for the Res.

    And I know I said I would keep a suprise for the end...

    3D Mark Vantage GPU Score 24194!

    Thanks For looking

    was a very good case, but I wanted something a bit more spacy... although the ATCS can fit all of space in there....:hehe:

    In the end i sold it to a friend and hes building a water cooled PC in to it. I saw on the Cooler Master spares page there was a stacker you could only get in greece, had a different door and black internals. it looked very nice!

    Hello All,

    Not much of an update as I'm STILL waiting for parts from Aquatuning.

    So what has happened since my last post, Well...

    This has Happened...

    [​IMG]

    Resulting in this...

    [​IMG]

    And This...

    [​IMG]

    Motherboard from OCUK was dodgy so it’s being sent back meaning I have stripped out the case, this makes me want to get it powder coated, but in which colour I’m not sure, Any Suggestions? I was going to go black but I’m quite tempted by red...

    Things that I have done are...

    Placed some rubber spacers on the rad to keep it quiet (I hope), it was some hosing my old man got me, it’s weird stuff, hairy on the outside rubber in the middle!

    [​IMG]

    These were placed between the brackets and the fans.

    [​IMG]

    And then a little test in the case...

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Some Cable braiding...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I’m sorry this is a slow log People, but I don’t have much luck when it comes to computer parts.

    Thanks for looking and please any suggestions on powder coating are welcome!

    Jam Out :rock:

    Hello All,

    Well I have stripped case down and its being sent to be powdercoated red by the kind people at Oxford Industrial Finishings.

    Very fragile once the case has been pulled apart!

    yeah the cables are a little on the short side, annoying thing about it is I brought 25cm ones and they were sort by 1cm, so I thought that 30cm ones would reach. Turns out there both the same bloodly length!

    Hooorah!

    I have my case back!

    And with a few hours and a Pop Rivet gun I got her back together.

    [​IMG]

    Had to recover the foam on the PSU rest, Ii used some Neoprene Radiator Dampening stuff... Does the trick quite well!

    [​IMG]

    Also went on with sorting out the fans in the case using my expert soldering skills.. :rolleyes:
