    Made some time free to give a little update.
    Still got a lot to do this weekend to be able to update from my main pc :)


    I knew i could get it smaller ! :p

    [​IMG]

    First leds are working.
    Also some cables ready for under the mainboard tray.

    [​IMG]


    Further on with the pump-tray and got the reservoir hanging again.

    [​IMG]

    Used the same anti vibration rubber under my HDD's and tray as i use for my glass.
    I really love this stuff.

    [​IMG]


    Guess cable management will come later, more and more cables every day :)

    [​IMG]


    Also a small uv led stroke for the right side fans.

    [​IMG]


    Now also leds in the pumptops.
    I like it more then the regular black ones i had.
    This photo is with UV leds in it, but thats WAY too purple.
    But somehow i cant show it in photo's

    [​IMG]


    So i tried blue leds after that, and i liked it :)

    Next update tomorrow :)

    I thought about them, but when i started this project i had more nickel plated stuff in it.
    But somehow the plexi blocks with Acid green fluid and a mix of blue and UV leds looks great for me ^^

    Looks incredible, definitely worth the 6 months of work. Also + rep for somehow hiding away all those wires - hopefully some day I'll be able to build a desk computer and I'd be pleased if it looked half as good as this.

    To finish it all off, you now need the LCD panels from Phillips' 58" 21:9 Cinema display, which are about the size of your desk space. Put them under the desktop glass, and show little performance graphs over each relevant component!
