Case Mod - In Progress | LUMO |-Completed and on In Wins stand at I series...

Yeah,I just did...

While im waiting for the doorbell to ring with the acrylic tray,I did a final mount up to see how everything fits and goes together,Im glad to say it went together like sticklebricks.

Here are some shots before the teardown begins.





The more eagle eyed will notice the bottom rad is missing its graphics,I had to switch it round as the GPU power and port clashed too much for a nifty recovery.





Thanks to Kier for donating the microcool PCI mounts!



Because the acrylic will be clear but frosted,the back of the res got a vinyl covering to make it pop more.



Thanks for keeping up with this log,its so close I can taste it!​

 

B,
You might have to enlighten the young eens as to what sticklebricks are/were

 

Training LEGO.

 

-Also known as "hair magnets."

Looks sa-WEET. I missed something. Are you saying the motherboard tray will house the reservoir in that sandwich?

 

Yes,the slots are where it will be visible,its built in to the acrylic.
The ports will be drilled from the mobo side for the return feed and the pump

 

I like that! Using every inches of space available

About the bottom radiator switch, have you figured how you will redo your loop design?

Yep i'm old enough to know what sticklebricks are

 

really like the colorscheme - looking forward to the tubing and coolant to make it reach the last level of POP-ness

 

The tray arrived from PARVUM today!

Thanks again to Justin and Shaun,they turned this around quite quickly for me.





And with the infill in place.



Now to drill all the remaining holes and tap a few ports for the return feed and the pump outlet.
Once this is done,I will frost the rest and solvent weld the infill in place for a watertight seal.​

 

Very nice indeed, that is one hefty piece of acrylic.

Nice paint work, nice project all round B.

 

Great stuff! B, what exact vinyl wrap did you use on that back plate? I've been dying to experiment with stuff like that, wrap with a marble-ish texture, but haven't seen any like the stuff you're using!

 

But fragile,that cutout is pretty big,i DO NOT want to drop it!

How you doing mate? I see you are still scroll sawing to victory!

Its not a wrap,the marble is paint.

Would you like a video on how its done,I keep getting asked about it.

In the meantime and because im impatient....





This is why I put a background to the res.



Thats not the HDD im using,its a placeholder....I will put something fairly massive in as it will be a pig to change over....​

 

Now I'm confused again, I thought you set me straight on this before. I knew the rads were painted, but you said ",the back of the res got a vinyl covering to make it pop more" in a post above. Sorry I keep misreading you man!

 

Ah sorry,its fluorescent yellow vinyl.

 

Thanks ASUS RoG Nordic!

 

Awesome work man. It looks amazing!!!

Yea I would really love a video on how to do the marble paint if it's not too much trouble for you

 

Fapfapffapfap......fapperdefapfap

 

New HDD has arrived and one side is done!!!!

Except for a de-sticker after the drive has been validated of course.





The fill port.



Im going to give up on trying to take photo's of the glass without reflections ​

Thanks for looking in!
