Such a good phone

The GPU and CPU blocks look fantastic. Everything looks amazing, only one drawback, the pump manual is only in German .

Screwing back up:





Until next time.

 

Very nice contribution from Crucial, nice W/C gear you have there.

 

Thanks a lot man, and yer it was awesome of them. Soz for the late reply, my internet has been playing up

 

Big Update .

Wow, I just finished talking to Paul Lockey from XSPC about whether it was possible to get the X20 150mm pump/reservoir with just the res. He said it wasn't possible but that he would check the RMA's in the morning as he was replying to my email 10 minutes after me sending it at 9:30 in the evening!!

So the morning came and sure enough he checked and there was only one suitable one there. He said he would send it straight off to me on first class post for free!!

Thanks a lot Paul, and wow XSPC have great service

Here’s the pump: http://www.xs-pc.co.uk/150pump.php


Now on to the main bit. My case came back from the sprayers. I’m not 100% happy with it as there are blemishes and small lumps on some of the surfaces. So on to the pictures:


First of, the price of the paint job:



The case then:





















The custom front bezel:
























Two blemishes:





The dominator ram cooler:














I am going to completely clean and polish the case at the weekend and until then thanks for reading!

 

The paint job looks great! It's nice to see things coming together...
