    Hello to everyone!

    With my first post I will introduce my first modding project based on the unique In Win Tòu.
    I would like to thank my sponsors: In Win Nederland , Aquatuning Europe, MSI Europe, Transcend, Patriot Memory and Noiseblocker.

    With In Win's 30th Anniversary, I will modify the Tòu while keeping some of its design.

    I will update the system specifications once everything is set.

    First the awsome & unique In Win Tòu:

    Hello and welcome to the forums. Project logs require pictures of work in progress so I'll move this over to Modding until then. Send me a PM or report this post when you have some pics.

    UPDATE!
    Here is the new reservoir for this project :D
    [​IMG]

    Painted the cap, aka fitting plate :)
    [​IMG]

    Labels removed and drilled the space for the fitting
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The bottle/reservoir is connected to the pump and its block with regular flexible tubing and fittings, this way holds the whole assembly better than hard-tubing and fittings.

    The Graphics Card (GTX 660) for this case, just like in my other project, it matches the motherboard and still going strong in gaming!

    Speaking of motherboards...

    [​IMG]

    Here are the freshly painted PCI-e covers with matching thumb screws
    [​IMG]

    The Alphacool radiator is already in its place with metallic and rubber washers
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The wood side panels are done and already on the case, next I have to mount the corner small panels
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I did my first bent!
    By the way, those white spots are just dust from cutting the tube.
    [​IMG]

    Here is the system without the Power Supply and before the watercooling setup

    Yes the bottle is not straight, it's a feature, if you know what I mean :D

    The interior, I had to swap the GTX 660 with a GTX 650 Ti, I had a major leak and the water went straight on the GTX 660, at the moment I am still trying to dry the GPU.
