    Hello again, This project is a rebuild of my current colossus build. I have removed the hard drive tray so I can fit another 240mm rad at the bottom to go with the 240 rad at the top. I have also purchased a new res. I am also changing the colour scheme but i will keep that part a secret for the time being!. So here comes the pictures of what i have done so far. :)

    Here is the bare chassis with the hard drive tray removed. It makes the case look even bigger I think.

    I had to drill a couple of holes in the front of the case so i could fix the rad to the front with the radiator grill.

    Side shot, perfect fit :)

    New res, gpu backplate and cpu block fitted. I think the res is a thing of beauty!

    I already have the tubing and fluid purchased (colour to be revealed later). I am just waiting on my new radiator to arrive tommorow then I will have all the gear i need. I think i am going to buy some new compression fittings, i currently have the black dark nickle xspc fittings but they are not dark enough. So i think i am going to buy some of the matt black EK fittings and sell the ones i currently have.

    Hope you like the look of the project so far.

    Tony

    Got my 2nd rad fitted last night and have planned the loop order. To make the tubing as neat as possible i am going with the following order

    Res-Rad-pump-gpu-rad-cpu-res.

    I know you shoud go from res to pump but the tubing is too tight if i do it that way and the pump top i have has a 100ml res built into it so the pump will never run dry.

    I have had my new fittings deliverd today so should finish the build off tonight

    What case is that?

    The slight blue and bright green look nice.
