    Thanks :D


    Funny thing happens sometimes....i've been looking for a good price and a decent lenght of those for a while now. And on the same day you mentioned it, one of my friend found an online place with very nice price and a good shipping cost for a 36" strip!!!

    I should have it this week!! :thumb:

    So like I said in my last update, I was able to do all the bending and installation of the tubing on sunday. Then yesterday after work I filled the loop for the first time. But the T-Fitting that I had at the exit of the pump where I had set my drain valve was leaking. Curiously I was kinda expecting it since the rotary was very wierd. So since I didn't have any other T-Fitting on hand and that I didn't wanted to wait for one that I would have ordered, I decided to set the drain valve on one of the free ports on my GPU block. So I took the time yesterday to redo this and tonight I re-filled my loop and so far everything is working pretty fine. No leaks and the bleeding was soooooo easy this time it was almost silent after only a few minutes!

    I will let the system run until tomorrow night and then I will flush it and fill it for real! And I will be done! The last thing that I will still don't have will be my GPU backplate but I will call it done anyway and simply add some pictures when I receive it.

    Here's a picture of the system during leak phase

    OH WAIT!!!!! I also receive my test subject from the lab! :naughty: :hehe:

    Here's the final pictures!!! :D

    This build was an amazing experience! Working in a small factor case is always a challenge and this one was a good one lolll

    Once again this build wouldn't have been possible without the help of my awesome sponsors. The guys at Parvum for creating this amazing one of a kind piece of art! EK for providing every single piece of watercooling components! I'm so grateful! And finally, Dazmode and Darkside for all the lighting equipment in this build!

    Also, I had the chance of being helped by some truly amazing guys too! Joseph from Ensourced for the crazy beautiful sleeving job and Jim from Clockwerk CaseMods who crafted the amazing custom pieces on the reservoir to transform it into a stasis tube! Coldzero will provide me a very nice GPU backplate later so i'll post an update when I receive it.

    So here are the photos! Enjoy!

    I would like to say the coolant colour really adds to the atmosphere.

    I agree! I wasn't sure in the beginning when I imagined it but when I did the mix and put it in the loop I was very happy with the look and feel!


    Thanks imersa! The case in itself was mind blowing so I had to make sure that it would be equally equipped and built :D.....and I know how you like the concept of using almost every millimeters of space in a small factor case....I think I managed to :naughty:
