Let's start with the pictures guys !!! First my Workbench : small but effective Then, the VICTIM For the mod I will use some sort of Plexiglass plate with a thickness of 3 and 5 mm.This looks like that ! Here I go for the Real job, Part 1 : The front ! After Cutting, drilling and sanding : First result Not bad, what do you think ? Part 2 : The Top ! After Cutting, drilling and sanding : Second result What do you think this time ? Let's try the two parts together ! Stay tuned !!!
The next part is The master piece of the exterior of the mod : The Top-Front ! For that, I need to bend my plastic plate first, then start to cut It fits quite well !!!! Now it's time to finish cutting, drilling and sanding : here is The master piece Now, creation of "spacers" so separate the top and the front from the "Top-front" Combining every part now : Feel free to comment
Waiting for some pieces I ordered, I decided to go for the sleeving !!! All the cables, sleeves, connectors and pins have been ordered to Gosumodz !!! I let you see how good the stuff is Let's go for the ATX extension, the 6+8 PCIE and the 8 pins CPU
Time for the update !!!! Almost finishing the outside of the mod, starting the inside !!! Inside has began Please do not hesitate for advices, comments, suggestions : FEEL FREE
Here we go for the pictures of the last updates Integration of the rheobus on the top, it fits well !!! Now a bit of tubing, a lot of time and money for all these fitting .... And a bit of painting for the fans
everything is blending together so well in this mod a lot of nice details - especially the exterior nuts in contrast to the plexi! looking forward to seeing some hardware and tubing going in the case - and you have made sure that my expectations for the tubing and the rest of the watercooling are very high...
Finally I decided to sell the 980 Poseidon and just bought an EVGA 980 sc with the combo WB/BP, so I won't have any color issue with the red of the poseidon Do you have any suggestion to improve this mod super modders ? @+
I saw the gold paint and thought, "NOOOOO!" Then I saw you cover 90% of it and just use it for an accent.
Hey guys ! I need your help I am having some serious trouble trying to put the EK tube 10/12 in the EK HDC 10/12 fitting. I used to use primochill fittings but I decided to try the EK one this time. My problem is that my tube doesn't want to go in completly inside the fitting. The gasket inside is the problem. I chamfered 45°, i soaked everything ... It is so hard to put the tube in that I need my 2 hands to do it and of course I can't do it inside the case ... I have never had this kind of trouble with primochill ... Do you have any tips/idea for that ? Thank you guys !!!! Haaz
Mounting the MB into the case !!! I like how it looks First pics with the tubes Testing the leaks It works !!! Big update !!!! I wanted to put some Mayhem white pastel as coolant but I like how it looks white transparent coolant, what do you think ? If I have time I will try to take the final pics this week !!! Feel free to comment !!! And HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! Haaz
After months .... too much work .... Here are some final pics Enjoy and comment !!!! Outside Inside If you want or need more pictures of the mod, feel free to ask for them. It will be a pleasure Thanks for your support guys Haaz
