Case Mod - In Progress Watercool G5 custom mod [project FIRMAMENT] New Sponsors! Be quiet!® come vote!

Hi! im updating here. sorry i have lost some of my image when i was working on it. this is all i left. hope it is enough for you guys.

first thing first. its spraying time! with a good primer!








hanging them in mid air is the best way to spray whole case without worrying about excess powder blow onto the wet surface!







the parts that is all done. i think i should get a proper camera for further photo-taking. handphone pictures are terrible. lol



some picture of flushing the rads and parts.
i did it using tap first.
then i ran a few time with distilled water.
finally soak in distilled with alcohol.
alphacool rad seem very clean in there.
the rest of the item i flush them using distilled water.





parts left to dry



my little easy diy funnel. lol



gpu block






notice the black spot on the underside of this waterblock? what should i use to clean it? and what is that black spot?

when i opened the plastic there already blackspot. when i flush it with distill. more black spot came out.

more pictures to come. and i hope i can find a better camera with light box hopefully.

 

looks great. I just had one question. Where are the two 360 rads going to be placed?

 

i will show you on the next update but there are some hint on my updates.

 

some sneakpeak not quite there yet, cable is messy. but im going to change to 4770k. which motherboard will be good?
sabertooth? ud3h? or deluxe??

marquee this is where my radiator is. 2 x 360mm.

 

Thanks man.

Great Idea placing the rads there. They will look sweet. As far as motherboard will go, the deluxe has some of the best features but the ud3h matches your colour scheme. Any time I see dual gigabyte nic I get excited.

 

more sneak peek.

and.....

new motherboard!

new parts. z87x-ud5h +4770k!

this motherboard is really eye opening with the black 10k caps. usually u will see this only in the real high end motherboard. but this motherboard has it. along with 16-phase all digital power design featuring International Rectifier PowIRstage ICs. i can really see this motherboard is pack with awesome features.

finally a sneak peek. for the side radiator.
2 x 360mm rad.




Task left: stick up the two character lcd. and remake a new lightbox.

hopefully when it is up, i will get a full good lighting and camera shot for it.

=D

feel free to comment!

hope you guys like it

 

thanks!!

i went for a ud5h because of the 16 power phrase. so far i really like it alot. really is pack with awesome features. and of coz the dual lan output with teaming.

 

should i do a reintroduction to my case mod?

 

stay tune for up coming quality pictures!

 

Awesome job! Congrats!

 

hey thanks! but it is not done yet. there are so much thing to tidy up and refine! will update more soon!

 

Great project man!

I love the matte finish and color on the aluminium parts you made. How did you do it? Did you bead or sand blast them? Or did you just sand them by hand?

 

hey! thanks mate!

i did the sanding by hand only. did not went for any sand blast. and of coz some simple electric sander! haha

I used primer and smooth it down and did another coating. followed by the silver coating. last, the matt clear coat. i had to stand abit further to the matt to make sure they are not sticking together as a big chuck as they might look like clear coat in the end.

cheers!

Took some time to take better picture of the psu. the interesting feature of this psu is COOL*OFF feature Which is something rare to see. it still runs the fan for three minute after shutting down. So as to prevent heat build up even after the system is off!









Fully modular!





Single rail but awesome quality.


Fan port! for fan only! this is where if you put in the fan it will run for 3 minute even after shut down!

The pattern on the sleeves

I guess i can put my fan controller aside! this fan is so silent.so i guess i can just put them on full power! well.. less component. more space to mod! awesome!

right now the right side fan controller will be remove!
