Project <<| Black3d |>> | Update 14/04/207 | Completed final pics

Here are the Blue elbows and other bits I ordered. After a touch of paint of course



As always - comments welcome

 

Dodgy as hell dry test loop. Doesn't look too bad and at least it all fit in



Decided against the elbow in the pumps/res



Put some plumbers tape on the barbs



Then fitted them





I'm going to see if I can cut this window today

 

You don't need plumber's tape (i.e.Teflon sealing tape) on barbs that use o-rings.

 

I know but I like to be on the safe side

 

Hope you like this update

Masked up:



Cut it out



Sanded the window from the back and added a trim



Don't think its too bad for my first go

 

Thats a great job Kempez; what kind of rivets did you use?

 

perhaps some more filing to try and get it as straight as possible...?

good though....

 

Very good job for a first timer! Very smooth, even and fine sanding on the plates, very good in need but i cant see if the grains and grooves are even and in the same direction and not just all over the place.... perhaps a close picture?

 

@Markz - its straight but the screws are making it slightly bent. I will get a sharp knif and solve this

I used some nice bolts that came with my AC grill

Thanks guys. Just waiting for my swiftech block for my GPU

 

its the black stuff round the side thats not straight i think....

 

Yeah thats right the black stuff is being pushed out by the screws.

I'll try to cut it

 

Just loose it.......Take a black filtpen and go round the edges to make them black. That should do it......

 

that would work-

 

I'm going to take a look at it and see if it would be ok to leave bare. I do have a feeling that it may need that rubber surround though I got it fairly smooth

 

Hey guys thanks

Last night I decided to cut some additional holes in the case side. This was really out of necessity rather than anything else in all honesty - the setup just wasn't getting enough air in. I was going with one hole but decided on two for effect

This hole will be filled with 2 x 120mm silenX fans and a grill. Please ignore the orange fan that was a test fit. Also some rubber surround is going to be added.



Caution: dodgy phone image

Also managed to sleeve up a whole lot of cables too

Also decided that seeing I haven't seen hide-nor-hair of my replacement GPU water block I'm going with a CPU loop on its own for the moment. Another reason for this is due to the fact I am constantly switching out my cards for reviews etc.

EDIT: All dremel cut

 

Looking good.......Whats the ketchup for?

 

mmmm dinner

 

drinking ketchup?

 

lol
Great mod you got here! I would go with a bigger window, but that's just me. Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks for the comment Always welcome

I did think about a bigger window but I kinda knew I would end up putting some fans in the case side. Plus I liked the look of the smaller window. Ah well just recieved an Antec P180 for another rig so mebbe then ey

@ Mankz_91: I don't know why but every time I mod I have pies with ketchup!! I usually eat very well with nice fresh food but when I'm on a modding session I eat easy stuff
