Case Mod - In Progress Project Harbinger: Loop is Done and Installed

Updates = Pump and Install

I got some more work done today pump bracket/ mount and a plate to fill in the cut out for the PSU.


Well nothing amazing here just the bottom of the PSU bracket


Gasp!!!! the secret of the floating Pump is revealed made this in about ten minutes its fastened to the radiator on the opposite side.



I ended up having to use more 90 degree fittings than I thought I would have to but here atlast it the loop only changes that will be made are the tubing is being switched out with red UV and will be sleeved, once I get a new GPU and add the rad in it will change a little but nothing major. The T-line tube is 1/2in and the rest is 3/8in works alot better. Thats it for now tomorrow I may work on the PSU bracket but thats all.

 

If you take the radiator to a shop they will just use flat black enamel spray paint out of a can to do the fins. You can just use a dremel wire brush to roughen up the radiator tanks and side covers and paint to your liking. I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this.

 

I have always wondered when someone would mount their pump on top of the CPU block lol. However I have seen people actually mount the outlet of the pump directly onto the inlet of the CPU block, it's as simple as just making a little support bar that you can attach to the extra thread on the CPU mounting bolts, saves a lot of plumbing and would be even easier these days with the compression fittings and teh small size of the DDC . I will post a pic if I can find one.

*EDIT*
This is from Nov 06 lol:

Yup I've seen this done and know that case super hornet by Titon/SuAsDu probably one of my favorite mods. Well I ran into a small problem today for the top rad the 88CFM fans are about 2mm too thick so I am gonna order some thin fans the issue lies with the inlet/outlet ports on the GPU waterblocks. I also have to figure out how to get these bubbles out my t-line is inverted the bubble are still trapped in the line I may just run the pc resting on the back panel so the process goes faster.

 

Looking good Should be cool when it's all put together!
